…unthinkable. Kind of like abandoning your wife in the middle of a serious, life-threatening illness. And then doing the same thing to the wife you abandoned your first wife for.

    For anyone who doesn’t know, the guy in the third panel is Newt Gingrich. 50th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. A man whose high moral character (ha ha) caused him to lead the charge to impeach Bill Clinton for having an affair while he himself was also having an affair.

      It’s so much fucking worse. You can tie most of the current state of political affairs to this asshole.

      Newt Gingrich teamed up with Rush Limbaugh and turned C-Span into political theater. That behavior eventually turned politics nasty.

      There was a time where Republicans and Democrats worked together despite their differences.

    Pond scum serves an important and useful ecological niche, which can’t be said about Newt.

    If she turned him onto a Newt then she should be burned. Who knows what other conservative dick bags she will inspire with her evil.
