Rosie O'Donnell: Newt Gingrich 'Should Read a History Book'

Rosie O'Donnell, possibly one of the most uninformed people to ever be given a television program, actually ridiculed the intellectual capacity of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich Thursday.

Appearing with fellow brainiac Joy Behar on the HLN program thankfully in its final shows, O'Donnell called the former Speaker of the House a "joke" saying, "Perhaps he should read a history book"

JOY BEHAR, HOST: Yes, but I mean, what about Newt's plan to drop the child labor laws and put kids to work as janitors?

ROSIE O'DONNELL: Yes.

BEHAR: I mean, where does he come up with this crap?

O'DONNELL: I don't know. They tried that in Australia many years ago with aboriginal children. It didn't turn out too well. Perhaps he should read a history book. I don't know. That guy is a joke.

I guess the intellectually superior O'Donnell didn't know that Gingrich received a B.A. and an M.A. from Emory University in - wait for it! - history, and later received a Ph.D. from Tulane University in - wait for it again! - modern European history eventually becoming a - wait one last time! - history professor at West Georgia College.

"I don't know."

Even a blind liberal sow finds a nut every now & then.

She could read Newt’s next book called “Environmental Entrepreneurs” when its released after the election but I suspect it will be leaked a month or so out from the election.

Joy Beo-whore and Rosie O’donut are now the, go to, political pundits of the 2012 republican selection process

funny thing is they are not much more ridiculous than the ‘legitimate’ MSM.

Not that I’m a great defender of Newt but...you fat, brainless bitch he taught history and has written books on history.

“Don’t do it. Please. I know this book looks delicious with its light-weight pages sliced thin a prosciutto and swiss stacked in a way that would make Dagwood salivate. The scent of freshly baked words wafting up with every turn of the page. Mmmm page. But don’t do it. Not yet. Don’t eat this book.”

She will explode when Newt wins the election next year.

Maybe she will promise to leave the country like so many other liberals have.

The typical left-wing narrative of Republican politicians - they are uneducated, provincial, can’t speak well - will not work on Gingrich. He will give it right back to them.

The narrative they WILL use? They will resurrect their propoganda from when he was in the House. Gingrich is “divisive, mean, pugnacious, a ‘divider’.”

"Who watches her TV show ?"

Me

It was a few days ago when I was flipping thru channels and spent about 10 seconds gazing at the train wreck show. Then I went back to Speed Channel after the commercial was over.

The Hollywood left. Ignorant, sheltered, stupid, anti-American, and totally useless to the REAL America. The one invented by Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, et al.
