Ann Coulter To Glenn Beck: Newt Gingrich Is ‘Pompous And Boring’

video
» 120 comments

Ann Coulter lit into Newt Gingrich on Glenn Beck‘s GBTV program Thursday, lambasting the Republican hopeful as “pompous and boring” and taking issue with controversial doodles he had drawn back in the 1990s.

RELATED: Coulter: ‘With Newt Gingrich You Throw Out The Baby And Keep The Bath Water’

According to Slate’s Jacob Weinberg, “these notes and doodles, handwritten by Newt Gingrich, appear in a series of exhibits appended to a report published on Jan. 17, 1997 by the House Select Committee on Ethics.”

“There were these doodles of himself at the center of the universe…and it’s Newt defining himself as designer of civilization!” Coulter snarked.

“I don’t think the Pope describes himself as that!” replied Beck incredulously. “He writes ‘systems designer’, and it’s pointed right to him..what is that?!”

“He had notes reminding himself to smile and look cuddly,” Coulter continued. “And then after, you know, it all came crashing down with the ethics investigation, which was a real problem. I mean, for him to denounce it as, oh, this was just a partisan investigation, the Congress and the House of Representatives was still majority Republican and there were a lot of good right wing Republicans on that committee and something like 90% of Republicans voted to reprimand Gingrich for abuse of a 501(c)(3).”

    I HATE ANN COULTER!,

    I DON’T AGREE WITH HER SO HER COMMENTARY SHOULD BE SUMMARILY DISMISSED!!!!!! 

    Oh wait a second….what did she say? 

     HEY EVERYONE, LISTEN TO WHAT ANN COULTER IS SAYING!!!!

    She continues making sense lately. Is the world ending? Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria!

  • AMP2020

    I like the fact that she wears her troll badge proudly. She’s right about Newt and Romney. Yes, she changed her position on Rom but what else are conservatives going to do. Newt will fail. The slower they realize this the faster Obama wins re-election.

    Resigned In Disgrace

    Gather round all you children, gather round, hear this story
    About the fall of a politician at the height of his glory
    He resigned in disgrace
    Now he’s back in the race
    And if we fall for his lies, it’s America’s Momento Mori.

    Let’s hark back to the year 1994
    When Republicans won like they hadn’t before
    He was Speaker of the House
    (and a horrible spouse!)
    But his ethics were something no one could ignore.

    In those days the congress just did as they please
    Graft and check kiting were a rampant disease
    They all wrote bad checks
    And had scurrilous sex
    Without any fear of the authorities

    Now our subject, the Speaker, was quite the hypocrite
    He campaigned against corruption, while reveling in it
    He took the bold stance
    To audit Congress’s finance
    And that’s where Newt Gingrich, stepped in his own $#!+.

    The Ethics Committee looked into Speaker Newt
    To try to find out just how he fenced all his loot.
    They saw thousands of pages
    Of Gingrich outrages
    And when they asked why, the Speaker lied, or went mute.

    There were lots of skeletons in Newts financial trunk
    The more they dug into it, the more that it stunk!
    But Congress  sanctions their own
    When they’re bad to the bone
    ‘Cause if they didn’t, Newt would be a cellblock punk!

    Newt got slapped on the wrist with a $300,000 fine
    For his  multiple scams that were over the line.
    It was “intentional and reckless”,
    Newt had proven himself feckless,
    And after the next election, he was forced to resign.

    It’s hard to imagine the size of balls it would take
    To run for the Presidency as an ethics sanctioned snake.
    He needs to be scorned,
    And now you’re forewarned
    That nominating Newt would be a disastrous mistake!

    “Pompous” and “boring” could be just expressions of personal taste, as least in theory (that is, even though we know they are, more acutely & actually, expressions of partisan preference), so those don’t mean much. What IS amusing is that an author of populist screeds & a professional media pundit is ON MEDIA with another author of populist screeds & a professional media host, AGREEING with each other that they both “hate the media”.  

    They ARE the media! So, that’s either self-loathing (which I can certainly buy to some extent, in both cases) or it’s just a winger meme (which is clearly is regardless). 

    So dig down: what does it mean to say “I hate the media” when you ARE the media: it must mean, I hate the part of the media with whom I’m in competition, who don’t agree with me, who aren’t as extreme as I am. That’s like being against the 1st amendment & human diversity. They’d each PREFER a world in which everyone else thought just like they did? What a boring world – but worse: if everyone agreed with everyone else the entire species would collapse in a matter of a few years. Diversity is a critical component of competitiveness; lack of diversity is why product fails, why technologies fail, why empires fail, why civilizations fail – & why SPECIES fail.

    Completely false history there friend. Newt Exposed the Check Kiting fraud of the house under DEMOCRAT leadership and forced the DEMoCRAT SPEAKER Jim Wright to resign in discgrace.
    Further, as you well know, I’m sure. 87 ethics charges were filed by against Newt, all by Democrats, all but one thrown out. He was not “fined” anything, but agreed to pay the $300K for the legal expenses of the investigation, which proved NOTHING but a clerical error on a report to the comittee. And was later CLEARED of all wrongdoing by the FREAKIN’ IRS!
    And finally, Newt DID NOT RESIGN as speaker. He served as Speaker the full term of the congress, and because of the damage the BASELESS attacks against him made in the ’96 elections, DECLINED to RUN for Speaker again. That is a long way from “resigning in discgrace” as you all like to say.

    You know the truth, it just doesn’t fit your aganda, so you LIE!

    What a deadly duo.  Talk about death by poisoned tongue. Newt passes the time with some not unamusing Zaphod Beeblebrox type doodlings and next thing these two psych majors are mocking him mercilessly and suggesting the scribblings are evidence of a psychotic derangement.  Then they have the gall to dismiss the baying mob in the debate audience as ‘not Republican’.  I guess they think a real Republican expresses his or her savagery in a civilised way.

     I would agree with that. I think she has a market for her product and sells it. Kind of like a used car dealer who knows the cars a piece of shit but will sell it to you anyway.

    I realize the stock pile of hand location next to your keyboard may have gotten in your eyes and you may have missed it, so I will cut and paste from the last time I answered this inane question.

    I have no idea why voters ultimately make a voting decision, if I did I could solve the riddle of why Texas elects the most inappropriate people to govern their state. Maybe voters were looking for something radically different after the last four years of Bush. And the difference between HC and Obama on most progressive issues was small, outside of their differences on how to use the military, which was a big issue to many.

    Politifact begs to differ with you, Brian.  Against legal advice Gingrich used tax exempt monies from campaigning to fund a Kennesaw State College course he taught.  The class did not meet the criteria for tax exempt status.  The ethics committee stated the course was, ” actually a coordinated effort” to “help in achieving a partisan, political goal.”
