But now that Newt's looks are gone, RET has moved on.

WASHINGTON -- There is a grisly pallor that has beset former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Then, too, there is a lumpiness: to his face, to his features, to his – well -- to his lump. When he walks into a room I feel rather sorry for him, but then I feel rather sorry for Bill Clinton too and for Hillary. No longer do I call her "Bill's lovely wife, Bruno." She looks grandmotherly rather than tough. I guess maybe her coeval from the 1960s generation of student government goody-goodies, Newt, looks grandfatherly rather than brainy. What does Al Gore look like these days, and Jean-François Kerry? They all quite abruptly assumed old age.
...This week the editors of National Review called upon Newt to quit the race. I second the motion. A couple of weeks ago Newt called for Rick Santorum, he having only one win in his column, to give up. Now Santorum has four wins and Newt is stuck with his one forlorn victory an increasingly long time ago. It is time for Newt to throw his weight behind Santorum or Mitt Romney. It is time for him to retire from the race and go on to become the greatest Futurologist in America, possibly in the known world. The present is no place for him. He has displayed his judgment repeatedly and it is deficient. He has also displayed his art for the one-liner and it is destructive, destructive of other Republicans in the race. He began his race for the presidency with a flourish of his ostentatious braininess that hurt Congressman Paul Ryan, a real Republican leader. He has gone on to endanger Santorum and Romney. It is time for him to go.

No doubt about it.
But now that Newt's looks are gone, RET has moved on.
[Santorum is a far better man on many levels than Gingrich or Romney. ]
Thanks for your godlike insight into the souls of men, sanctimonious tbpiper.
I’m sure you would have been the first to sack Patton at the Battle of the Bulge. Can’t get enough altar boys when the going gets tough.
There are many reasons to be anti-Newt, not least of which is his knack for throwing the covers off his mistress’s bed just long enough to lecture the rest of us on family values and laughing while social conservatives rally to his cause. His character and trustworthiness leave much to be desired. His age, however, cannot be helped and should not count against him, yet that is apparently Mr. Tyrell’s biggest gripe. What ever happened to respecting our elders? Shame on you, Emmett.
Who said you were ?
Such a dedicated perry supporter becomes a Newt
Astroturfer !
How much ?
Aren’t you darlin’?
Oh, you're most welcome FastYorkie. BTW you're mentioned in Proverbs 17:28.
endanger ...Romney

Bob only Romney has done that...
Then why do you bash Newt? He’s a devout Catholic.....
It’s time for Rev. Sanctimonious to go. He hasn’t won a PRIMARY yet, only caucuses.
Wow! And you act like you know it all. I had no idea that Missouri was a caucus. Guess what Einstein? It was a primary. Sheesh and you believe you are the smartest in the room. roll eyes.
[Oh, you’re most welcome FastYorkie. BTW you’re mentioned in Proverbs 17:28. ]
I don’t have to read bible verses to understand your are a sanctimonious prig. Go crucify yourself somewhere for your sins, I believe in grace and that even sinners can rise above and do good. Perhaps you need to read some New Testament. Jesus you ain’t.
“Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.”
I believe in grace…
I seriously doubt that. Your posts to me so far have been the most graceless and arrogant spewings I’ve seen in a long time. I can only assume you’re not reacting to me so much as pagan gut reaction to a very Catholic Santorum.
Jesus you ain’t.
Never claimed to be, but I’m not sure you’d ever know the difference anyway.
FC:Jesus you ain’t.
TBPIPER: Never claimed to be, but I’m not sure you’d ever know the difference anyway.
But of course you do claim to be Jesus, because you seem sure that Santorum is far more saintly than Newt. Now Newt has never said that he is a saint and has asked for forgiveness on a number of occasions, both of man and God. Not so Saint Santorum. I guess he is one of the immaculately guiltless who need no humility.
I guess that’s why Santorum and his followers claim he is due the presidency based on his saintliness, not based on his policies. Now what happens if you all are just standing behind biblical preachings because you are puffed up frauds?
When you call me a fool using some biblical reference you might beware who is casting stones and whether they might not boomerang.
You're making that up out of whole cloth.
You have an acitve and rabid imagination. Along with being a fool, you're just plain ole nasty.
[You have an acitive and rabid imagination. Along with being a fool, you’re just plain ole nasty. ]
Back at ya. But you being the better (judgmental) Christian than I, have a lot more to be ashamed of. Go pray to Saint Rick for guidance on how to slay the evil Newt supporters.
Not being judgemental (your eternity is not up to me), just being a fruit inspector and what I see is rotten and nasty just on the human level.
[just being a fruit inspector and what I see is rotten and nasty just on the human level. ]
You know nothing of me or what I do, so your venom must come from the inside. You have shown your true Christian spirit, I suspect on the same level as Saint Santorum. I am sure you will persuade the rest of the voting citizens to wear a hair shirt and allow you to apply whips to prove how much better you are. Yeah, that’s a winning ticket.
So your real problem with Santorum is not political but theological? BTW, that statement of yours is still a lie.
