Rachel Maddow is sure busting on Newt this evening. |

Talking about how everything he's done since he left the House of Representatives has been a scam - entirely designed to make money from selling access to himself.
She compared him to Nigerian email scammers. If you send him money you can get an "award" and a certificate signed by Newt himself, and the opportunity to go to a dinner and feed near Newt. This normally costs about $5K.

16. with employees working 12 hour days for $1.86 an hour |
|
no safety inspections on the rides, $30 soft drinks, and pictures of Newt plastering everything. Step right up to Uncle Newt's Cavalcade of Misanthropic Horrors, the most depressing show on earth.

5. The thought of being close to Newt while eating does strange things to my stomach. |

9. They don't have a thimble full of morality between them |
|
And in Palin's case, she's got negative intelligence.

10. Maddow blasted him, Sharpton blasted him, Tweety blasted him. |
|
His ears have been ringing all day if there's any truth to the old saying that when your ears ring, someone is talking about you (right ear good things, left ear bad). Sharpton had supposedly breaking news that Newt's think tank received more than $30 million in lobbying fees from the healthcare industry.

11. He, along with Palin and Herm, put the "con" in conservative. |
|
Apparently, the typical Republican voter is oblivious to this fact.

12. He is an easy target, a wanna-be "Slobo" |
|
That is what he reminds me of when I see his arrogant ass speak - Slobodan Milošević.
This guy really could be dangerous if he ever became president, thankfully it will freeze in hell before that happens.

13. Is she being paid by Romney? |
|
Thats all she's doing is helping Romney.
Why doesn't she do a show about how nutty Mormonism is?

14. You're absolutely right |
|
I don't mean that I think she's trying to help Romney, but that Romney should be the no. 1 target. If he's eliminated now instead of later in the general, it's a quick checkmate. They got nothin'.

15. Or how about just lay off Newt |
|
and hope he beats Romney, or at least stays in the race long enough to damage him.
