Newtandcallista

By Michael Shaw

Where to begin?

Here’s the dope on the Gingrich exploratory campaign liberating the Kennedy website background (based on this Getty photo).  According to the original Kennedy piece, this rainbow shot of patriotic Americans represents “the Democratic majority.” What got me going on this in the first place, though, were all the campaign photos I’ve seen lately where the Callista head of the Newtandcallista seems to watch the Newt head like a hawk.

I’m sure you’ve got further thoughts.

    Of the fifteen or so faces in the crowd I count exactly one white male. How’d he get in there?

    Thin lips are always a marker of selfish people and in this couple SHE has the penis nose. Double trouble.

      And then there’s Mitch McConnell who has absolutely NO lips.

    My kids are in their late twenties and early thirties, and they tell me that in the vernacular of their generation “Tea Bagging” is scrotum sucking…

    You know, sucking on someone’s balls. Nuts. Cock.

    They’re not “queers”. They’re cock-suckers.

    All the people are looking away from NewtandCallista.

    After reading a piece on Newt’s empire, I suspect his latest Presidential exploration is merely another way to trawl for money. He’s a grifter just like Ms Palin.

    Well, now we it’s a ’stock photo’ and not – truly – indicative of those who are actually following these two phonies. Such manufactured whiteness, too…yuck.

    Disgusting, the blatant lie of that composite: as if the GOP was all about diversity. If they were being honest the background photo would be a group of scowling white white-haired old men, rednecks and bigoted half-wit FoxNews fans and brain-dead dittoheads.

    If you were someone who had taken leave of her senses enough to MARRY Gingrich, wouldn’t you watch him like a hawk, too? Damn, woman.
