They are going to have to lasso Newt and drag him screaming from behind the podium.

[11 Bravo]

His farewell speech will last longer than the amount of time he spent polling above 5%.
Take a hike, you doughy fuckwad! How can we miss you if you won't go away?

[snooper2]

1. is his life size doll with him?

5. She had to take one of the kids to a dentist. The poor little guy tried to kiss her on the cheek ...

and chipped a tooth on her hair.

14. Today it looked like she was wearing an ancient Greek bronze helmet on her head

Maybe that's what Callista The Huntress from Greek mythology would wear.

2. That would be funny as hell

get out the shepherds hook just like in the old cartoons and yank him off.

[livetohike]

3. I was thinking that too

and he and his wife look like cartoon characters.

[Initech]

13. I'd rather it be done Looney Tunes style - with the giant cane.

[PoliticAverse]

4. Did he hold up a copy of his book? n/t

[Mz Pip]

6. Remember The Gong Show?

The gong is clanking, and clanking and clanking. Newt is one deaf turkeybutt.

11. They need the trap door below him and someone on the rope that controls it. n/t

7. Too bad it's over - I was hoping he would start reading to us from those 7 historical novels

he said he wrote. I wanted this to go on and on, including cataloging of all his personal correspondence throughout his life. People were dropping everything around the country to lap up every syllable.

8. DU needs a way to COMBINE duplicate threads automatically.

There are at east 3 very funny "Newt won't shut up" threads going on right now.

We need to combine them into one.

That thread would become a Commemorative Newt Gingrich DUzy thread almost instantly.

[Zookeeper]

9. 'Not sure why MSNBC gave his speech so much time...

Especially given how little support he had. We don't have to pretend that he's relevant.

[JoePhilly]

10. Uh ... because it was HILARIOUS!!!!

[Lugnut]

12. I thought he would never finish.

I hope the arrogant self-absorbed Newt's political career is over!

[tanyev]

15. I'd pay a few bucks toward his campaign debt to see that.
