Rosie O’Donnell, the wunder gehirn that says fire can’t melt steel, now suggests that Newt Gingrich read a history book.
I agree.
Gingrich is currently the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president, and, given Obama’s current approval rating, could very well be our next president.
I’ve put together a list of history books Newt Gingrich should read
The last thing we need is an uninformed person trying to play president. It happened before. Remember the 2008 election? We don’t want to go through that again.
I bet Rosie could benefit from reading a good book about Hittite iron smiths. Or new steel smelting technology circa 1000 AD. Or a low carb cookbook.
In Rosie’s world, paper beats scissors.
My father’s philosophy was, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
Oh-oh. I said something, which means I must not believe in that.
I guess what I’m saying is, Gingrich has the potential of making Romney look good. Maybe that’s the plan.
What I’m saying is, you can attack Gingrich on lots of things, but knowledge of history is not one of his weaknesses. And that’s typical for the likes of Rosie.
I think Ron Paul is nuts. And I’ll pick on him for things. But not about anything medical. That is not one of Dr. Paul’s areas of weakness.
I guess I’m already tired of being lectured about history when the history of his Speakership is a friggin’ disaster.
I seem to recall that, despite his problems, Gingrich was Speaker during a time Congress passed balanced budgets and the economy was doing better than it is now.
Hey! Look what you’ve done! You’ve gone and made me defend Newt Gingrich! You’re a plant from the Gingrich campaign, aren’t you? I know how you people operate. I’m onto you!
yeah well, Newt should be writing the promised sequel to 1945 before running for president.
That bastid.
Welcome to my world, Basil. Just wait til they trick you into defending Ron Paul! (I refuse to put multiple exclamation points. I feel like it helps me maintain my sanity).
I’ve met reasonable people that support Gingrinch, Romney, Perry, Santorum, or Bachmann. But I’ve not met a whole lot of sane Ron Paul (RONPAUL!!!ELEVENTY!!!) supporters. Them folks are so nuts, they could give Claxton, Georgia a run for its money. So, I’m on my guard about not being misunderstood about anyone thinking I’m a supporter of the Good Doctor.
Since Newt (who the bleep names their kid ‘Newt’?) knows so much about history, you’d think he’d not want to repeat it. There’s not much difference between a fat arrogant smart guy and a skinny, arrogant dumb guy.
Hey, as a fat arrogant smart guy, I resent that!
Then again, maybe I’m not that smart after all.
At least you didn’t ask who names a kid “Basil.”
Is this on the level? Does that twit really not know that Newt is a history professor and actually taught college courses in history?
It must hurt to be that stupid.
BTW, I heard Rosie was invited to join Mensa, but declined because it wasn’t her time of the month. [Pa-rum-pum! Tssst!]
I guess Rosie’s unaware that Newt has written history books.
Son of Bob:
Can I safely assume you did not actually click through on the link to see the list of history books … and who wrote them?
Yeah! Newt should really read a history book! On Australia! Particularly aboriginal children! And how they were permitted to earn money for their work and because of that there were disastrous consequences!
Ironically, I’m pretty sure Newt will take her advice and read a history book.
Can’t agree that Newt “could very well be our next president”. As bad as Obama is, I think Newt comes with far too many negatives to beat him. And if you can’t win in November, then nothing else matters. Traditionally, GOP primary voters have understood that this one qualification stands above all others … http://www.ombudizen.com
Rolly “I ain’t got time to read!” O’dino needs to meet a few of my blacksmith friends.
I hope he shows up and drops a whole stack of the stuff he’s written in her lap, gratis even. Libs love free stuff.
Newt though, still having a hard time backing him, even if he does everything right, doesn’t stab anyone in the back, and gives us a two-year recovery while drastically reducing the overreach of Federal government. He’s too famous a target not to cause liberals to accuse him of every nasty thing they can think of. Then we have another H.W. Bush incumbent cycle….
I’m regretting that Cain wasn’t ready for this. He has the personality and the intellect, but he moved too fast and skipped the knowledge he needed.
Perry tripped a buzzword with his latest add and it cost him. It’s not that he said anything truly wrong or insulting, or anti-anything except the Liberal’s political oppression of Christianity, but when a Republican says “gay” at any time, it triggers the reactionaries.
Bachmann should just drop, she’s not doing herself any more good, she’s damaged her campaign beyond salvaging by tripling down on incredible stupid.
I still wonder about this Beuregard Huntsman guy, he trails so far behind no one bothers to attack him, that’s probably why I don’t hear anything negative about him. Are there positives? Seriously, who is this dude? Show yourself!
#17 – Charon,
He rides a Harley.
That by itself might not qualify him to be president, but at least he wouldn’t look as girly as obie on his bicycle at Martha’s Vineyard.
