If this twit can’t put together a team to get him on the VA ballot then he has no business being President. This “gaffe” has told us all we need to know.

Bob Schieffer likened the ballot failure to another historical event: the unexpected stock market crash of 1929.
 Bob recalls that he and Senator Joe Biden were watching TV that October day when President Roosevelt came on to reassure the nation.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed,” Biden told Couric. “He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’”

Why did the Japanese conspire to keep Gingrich off the ballot?  That’s the real question.   

There is a term for someone who constantly draws parallels between their personal tribulations and monumental events in the history of man: Megalomaniac. Newt has consistently reflected these sort of idealizations and egocentric obsession throughout his career as a public figure, revisionist historian and erstwhile educator/propagandist

Even a wannabe historian should know better than to make an analogy that potentially offensive.  The offensiveness is almost overwhelmed by the inappropriateness, though; I mean, Pearl Harbor was a huge, devastating coordinated sneak attack that no one predicted.  Gingrich’s campaign’s failure to get on the ballot is … none of those things.  Frankly, it was utterly predictable given the man’s personal skills at coordination and the performance his campaign team has shown so far. 

I suspect the Japanese have a deep respect for real historians and they work they do; Gingrich dishonors real historians every time he claims to be one.  Maybe Japan is defending the honor of historians and all other thinking people?  LOL

This is the same guy who cheated on his wife out of patriotism, so no surprise here. 

I think it is on-topic and fair game to speculate about a political reporter’s personal and political agenda as it relates to this interview, without having our comments deleted.  Who are you protecting Mediaite?

We know Gloria Berger is a Jewish American whose husband works for a large Washington D.C. communications firm that brags about the following on its website:

“Our clients have included a virtual “Who’s Who” of prime defense contractors and government agencies”

Now, you tell me? Is it reasonable for us to speculate that possibly Gloria Berger is opposed to Ron Paul’s agenda given her background, and that this interview and subsequent editing were the influenced by those biases?

Is it reasonable to say that maybe a CNN reporter with fewer ties to defense contractors and big government should have done that interview?

I’m sure President Newt would use the same bullshit excuse when al-Qaida takes out half of D.C.

Thank God this fat abortion will never be President.

Not getting on the ballot is like Pearl Harbor…….

…………………….

*drink*

Well if being incompetent,or crazy for that matter, is like Pearl Harbor,Newt better be a damn good swimmer.Cause he does that kinda sheet a lot.

I was pretty surprised to see them shut down the comments on that article.  Was there any riff raff for the commenters (more so than usual)?  It’s a pretty open-and-shut case; CNN purposely frankenstein’d this interview to make him look bad, when in reality, Ron Paul dismissed this gadfly with ease.  He doesn’t even pay her any attention when he mutters at the end “I understand how the system works,” and you can tell by the look on her face that she knows she’s about to look bad. 

Thankfully, the intelligent Mediaite readers see through this blatant cover-up, as evidenced by the more-than 90% of people who said yes, CNN unfairly edited the interview. 

Gloria Berger was insistent on getting Paul to admit what is relevant, maybe she should have put some bricks around her glass house.

However we say it, Mr. Gingrich is all about the
money.  In a recent story, “Gingrich was
ask to return the estimated $1.6 million he received for providing strategic
advice to Freddie Mac, the quasi-government agency (an agency that has lost
millions) that guarantees home mortgages. Gingrich has said he acted as a
historian, not a lobbyist”.  A
“historian”, is that the history of greed? 
He may just sell you a book on it!

If you look up megalomaniac in the dictionary, there is a picture of Gingrich’s face superimposed on Mount Rushmore. 

Yeah, something suspicious about those comments being deleted.  Someone was clearly calling to complain. If Mediaite has any integrity, they will follow-up with an article that addresses the concerns about Gloria Berger’s background.

What the hell are you to expect from a book salesman?

Eighty-four
ethics charges were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term, including
claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes.
Following an investigation by the House Ethics Committee Gingrich was sanctioned. Gingrich acknowledged in
January 1997 that “In my name and over my signature, inaccurate,
incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the committee”.  The House Ethics Committee concluded that
inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented “intentional
or … reckless” disregard of House rules. The special Counsel concluded
that Gingrich violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an
effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him.  He has always been about the money.  All the charges did not prove true, but he is
always up to something to make money!

Poor newt, such a victim. . .yeah VA really gives a flying rat. . . Insulting VA, its voters, and its laws won’t get him on the ballot. . .he is so over the top in his ineptness, its pathetic, he’s pathetic.  Enjoy the fame, the clock is ticking. . you’re almost done. . .

Definitely.  Well they did have the article where they essentially asked CNN “What the hell is with you and Ron Paul?” which posted on the 21st.  I think some follow up is needed, now that we know Ron Paul’s politics likely run counter to how her husband makes a living.  

It was incredibly disingenuous  of Borger to insinuate that Ron Paul made “$1 million” off of the Race War article.  How is one newsletter worth $1 million?  Where’s her proof?  But to the larger point, why is she calling out anyone for money-making agendas, when we now know of her massive potential conflict of interest?  I think the lady doth protest too much. 

So corrupt soulless high dollar lobbyists are now hiding under the pseudonym of historian.  There really is no end to GOP corruption.

Eisenhower would smack Newt upside the head for allowing such a dumb comment to be made public

Newt talks like someone who’s been smacked upside the head a lot.  Perhaps he should hold the aerosol hair spray bottle a little further from his head. 

What a pitiful human being.  He needs to be put to sleep.

Newt boldly epitomizes everything a Republicant is, but nothing a Conservative values.  Onward Newtards.

And with his failure to get on the VA ballot along with Perry, Bachmann, Hunstman and Santorum, nobody should take any of them seriously.

Virginia didn’t launch a sneak attack on Gingrich.  All of the rules are available to the general public.

Like he would share a mountain with anybody.  HAHA!  Great Post though.

They also fail to mention that at one point they had 14 different newsletters going out on an irregular schedule.  Not to mention that Paul was actually a minority stake holder in the company.  He just lent them his name for Marketing purposes.

Doesn’t the dummy live in Virginia? If so, you would think he should know.

Better analogies.

What Is This I Don’t Even …

And just for grins, imagine the liberal media outrage if a Dem had done and said the same thing.

newt is a joke

forget Newt I want to as people 
Why are so many black Americans coming out in droves in support for The Good Dr.? There not dumb at all .Mass media and Establishment shit heads!They have a brain too!They get chills when they hear him speak just like I do! In truth Black Americans have been dealing with you shit heads far longer than White Americans have!We are finally catching up to their way of thinking! He is the Dr.King of today.Freedom and Liberty hell yeah! Down with the propaganda media trying to divide and concur us all to leave you elite shit heads left standing!Oh hell no we wont go!Together people of all races are grasping the power back!No we are taking it back!For all Americans!~You cant play this card today!You waited way to late in the game for this to work. Americans have see how you didn’t want him and we totally expected everything and the kitchen sink!Hell no we wont go down devided!! You reaally underestimated what the Dr.will do for even you stupid shitheads!!!OMG the Revolution is’t coming,It’s already here!

“Gingrich (a Virginia resident) and Perry fail to get their names on the primary ballot in Virginia.
Only 10,000 signatures were needed. In just 4 weeks the people of Wisconsin have gathered over 500,000 signatures in their quest to recall Scott Walker.

Gingrich Campaign Director Michael Krull: “Only a failed system excludes four out of the six major candidates seeking access to the ballot. Voters deserve the right to vote for any top contender, especially leading candidates. We will work with the Republican Party of Virginia to pursue an aggressive write-in campaign to make sure that all the voters of Virginia are able to vote for the candidate of their choice.”

There is a small problem with this strategy, though. Write-ins for primary elections are illegal, according to Virginia state code. Thus, it appears that if Gingrich heads to the polls in his home state’s primaries on March 6, he would have to vote for someone else.”

Two things are certain: Somebody got fired on team Gingrich and Ron Paul will come in ahead of both Gingrich, Perry and the rest who are not on the ballot in Virgina. Gingrich, who lives in McLean, Virgina can’t even properly manage to get on the ballot, and that conceited wind-bag wants to run the country?

Here Newt is being highly critical of Ron Paul’s mistake of inadequately monitoring his newsletter—which happened years ago—meanwhile Newt can’t even keep his campaign on track. Hey Newt, are you and your people really going to shift the blame of your failure to Virgina? Newt, you’ll never be half the man that RP or Gary Johnson are.

Frankly, I’ve never seen fielded by the Republican party such a sorry bunch of candidates. I don’t count Paul as a Republican, because he’s really a libertarian like Gary Johnson. Ron Paul, including all his imperfections, is the better man out of all the other Republican candidates. The Neocon welfare-warfare machine—including MSM— will come down on Ron Paul with both feet if he wins Iowa and poses a threat in New Hampshire.

All of you RP supporters better be ready for the nastiest fight that you’ve ever been in. This fight is going to come down to Romney the RINO-vs-Paul the Libertarian.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, but no Newt or Rick.

The sad fact is there has been a call for all of the GOP/TP idiots “front runners” including Bachmann, Perry, Santorum…might as well add Huntsman, Johnson, Karger, and Snyder among others.

Not even a good analogy. You are comparing a lame gaffe with monumental narcissism.

If Gingrich couldn’t manage to get himself on the ballot of his current state of residence, then he truly deserves to lose!

Could not have said it better myself.

Shocking. Yet another self-righteous conservative who is unable to accept responsibility for his own mistakes, failures, and shortcomings.

Sorry, Newt. This failure to make the Virginia ballot was completely self-inflicted, an indicator of poor campaign management and a disregard or unawareness of the state’s rules.
You are not a victim here, and so playing the role of the poor, maligned martyr – a favorite tactic of tea party politicians — only further demonstrates your leadership weakness.

You got it right, Tommy!  Politics aside, it’s just insulting to use an analogy like this.  This dude is simply egomaniacal and believes his own b.s.

This kinda crap reminds me of Chris Matthews’ overzealousness with analogies and comparing real events to lines out of movies all the time.  Half the time nowadays he comes up with these, it seems, the people he’s interviewing (talking over) look like they’re mentally scratching their heads wondering what the hell he’s talking about!

And, as a self-proclaimed $1.6 million “historian,” Newt should know better than us regular peeps that he’s being insulting to American history when he says crap like this.

Oh I get it: humor.

Megalomaniac is good.
In this case, asshole is better.

I have noticed a lot of premature bleating about a certain someone being ‘unelectable’ – when the real definition of unelectable is not being on the ballot. Well now the question of exactly who is electable and who is unelectable has been decided for VA. And what do you know… turns out everyone except Romney and the certain someone are ALL unelectable. lolz

More proof republican humor does not work.

Reading of Newt’s upbringing, he WAS “smacked upside the head a lot.”  I disagree with him on almost every front but am happy he has at last found some peace with his religious and personal life.  How would each of us feel being disavowed by their own father and beaten up by their step-father?  I can’t imagine….

If only Newt read this thread, but we all know his folks cannot or will not accept that the American people do not want him as president. So, they will not get the message that he has done nothing to earn the right to be president. We all know that he will sell his soul to the highest bidder, and will not perform the duties of the President.

Typical Repug chicken hawk COWARD!

He really wants no part of the nomination. Just wants to sell more books to pay his tiffanys bill.

Do you commenters on this thread know the difference between Newt Gingrich and God?

God does not think that he is Newt Gingrich!

Tomorrow he will apologize for offending everybody!  Then he will say: “What I meant to say is that our failure to get on the ballot in Virginia is our 9/11 of this campaign!”

I know you meant it to be funny (or did you), but since our daughter and her family live in Washington, D.C., I am not amused!

I think you mean General Patton!  Ike never slapped a soldier or a Republican. 

They must have been pusblished in Japanese!

Just for the record, all of the campaigns are supposed to employ Election Law attorneys who handle details like this.  There are plenty of them in Virginia.  Newt also missed the filing deadline in Missouri.

Could you please repeat all of that in English?

Yes, Mr. Axelrod!

I am sure that the organized campaigns check this thread!

It works as an oxymoron.

Cute.
I thought that instead of his Pearl Harbor analogy, a better comparison would be to when I flush the toilet after breakfast.
What it lacks in historical importance, it makes up for with accuracy

LOL !

I will do my very best to do better next time> I swear to you I will> lolo 

Newt cant even get on the ballet in his home state!
Do we really care what he has to say? 

Newt was pushed to the top by the media! The media failed again to distract voters of the reality Ron Paul’s message of Freedom and Liberty has caught fire  across this great land!!

Ron Paul is going to take Iowa In a landslide!

Did you have trouble reading my comment? Or did you just not like what I had to say? 

your a idiot!

I honestly did not understand the comment.  I am sorry if I offended you.  My comment was a little flippant.  If we do not talk again until 2012, have a very Happy New Year!

No problem your comment was fine.I sometimes let my passion get the best of me! You have a great New Year too!
