Don Imus Calls Newt Gingrich ‘Disgusting’ And A ‘Fat, Repulsive Pig’

video
» 55 comments

During a rundown of the polls this morning, Fox Business Network anchor/curmudgeon Don Imus colorfully ripped apart Republican frontrunner Newt Gingrich, calling the former Speaker of the House “disgusting.” “He’s a fat, repulsive pig! I hate to be so harsh,” Imus sniped. “You go out in the woods and find a piece of old, dead wood, you lift it up and underneath there’s a bunch of bugs crawling around and white stuff…that’s Newt Gingrich.”

The grumpy radio host lauded a Mike Lupica column criticizing Gingrich. “He just hammers him,” Imus noted.

Co-anchor Bernard McGuirk piled on the Republican candidate as well. “What are these GOP voters thinking? That he might have a chance against Obama?” McGuirk incredulously asked. “Taylor Swift will be in porno movies before he beats Obama! He’ll never beat Obama.”

“Taylor Swift in porno movies!?” lustily exclaimed Imus.

“They will turn Gingrich into Coach Sandusky before the election occurs,” McGuirk continued. “He’ll never win, he doesn’t have a shot!”

    Newt Gingrich really is repulsive to the minority of people that remember the world began before 2005 or so.

  • Anonymous

    The I-Man calls Obama “jugears”.

    Bernie calls Imus a ” hemmorrhoid wearing a cowboy hat”.

    That’s how they talk.

    LOL….I doubt they will fire Don for that.

    ” He’s a fat, repulsive pig! You go out in the woods and find a piece of old, dead wood, you lift it up and underneath there’s a bunch of bugs crawling around and white stuff…that’s Newt Gingrich.”

    EPIC INSULT.

    The funny thing is that for all the piling on of Newt I have yet to hear anyrhing beside kindergarten trash talk. They are not challenging his positions that i have seen.

  • Anonymous

    “They are not challenging his positions that i have seen.”

    His position on child labor laws or his position of lobbying for special interests?

  • Anonymous

    In this thread the idiot teabaggers will defend their arch enemy, a career politician who sold out lobbying for special interests.

  • lawl

    hey! now you’re gonna have to apologize to pigs, Imus. for shame.

  • Kid Dynamite

    We’ve found Don Imus’s viewer!

  • Hugo Daun

    “…disgusting, fat, repulsive pig!”

    And those are Newt’s good qualities!

  • Bob

    Oh – so now Republicans take issue with that?
    At the time, I remember Imus and his crew were regulars on Hannity to play the crybaby routine and whine about how the mean old liberals wanted to silence their racism.

  • lawl

    but….but…he’s a republican, so they don’t care. as long as a person says the few talking points that they love (nancy pelosi is an idiot, end Obamacare, liberal media, ETC). the baggers will defend them from anyone that acutally speaks the truth.

  • Bob

    that’s all Gingrich has brought to politics (remember the GOPAC list of buzzwords to trash your opponents?), so it’s all he deserves

  • joe

    go don imus-go don imus-go….

    2012–WE WILL TAKE BACK AMERICA—WE WILL HAVE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL–WE WILL HAVE BETTER EDUCATION–WE WILL HAVE CLEANER AIR–WE WILL HAVE HIGHER PAYING JOBS–WE WILL HAVE CLEANER WATER, SAFER STREETS, WORKER’S RIGHTS, WOMEN’S RIGHTS, MARRIAGE RIGHTS AND EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL..
    amen~

  • proud2tbagu

    Obama said we all would have that in three years or he didn’t deserve reelection.

  • steveknows

    You mean he’s wrong?
    I agree.
    I think Newt is a vile piece of shit.
    But hey, ‘fat repulsive pig’, ‘vile piece of shit’, ‘disgusting hypocrite’, bald-face liar’ or even ‘number one Satan double’, we can disagree and still be friends. 
    That’s what makes America great.

    …That’s mean.

    What’s the world coming to, when Don Imus expresses himself this way about Newt Gingrich?!?

  • Anonymous

    The Republicans will defend Newt with all their strength even though Newt sold them down the river.  

  • kromecom

    Which position, he’s flipped flopped more than Romney. You’re reaching on this one . . .

    What do you expect Newt’s positions are like kindergarten level.

    The fact that the Religious Right is warming up to a Gingrich candidacy speaks volumes about their authenticity. they are political first, people of faith, a distant second.

  • Anonymous

    Foc News Sunday and now Imus, Fox is treating their co workers badly.

  • steveknows

    You mean the position where he’s holding his ankles?

    The fact is that he’s such a disgusting piece of crap, that his positions dont really enter into it.
    He’s forfeited any claim on our respect, without which, his positions are irrelevant.
    I view him as worse than Nixon.

    Imus! LOL.. well, if we wait a few more days, my Main MAN Mr. CAIN will be dancing again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7fJ6jAOVU  future and former GOP front runner supreme! Now you know he’s just a 70s sitcom icon!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7fJ6jAOVU

  • Onne

    Gingrich is the epitome of the DC insider lobbyist sucking on the government teat for everything he can get and then telling the teabagger fools he’s one of them. LOL

    This article should be titled, “Don Imus Has Rare Lucid Moment.”  And in that moment he pegged Newtered Gingrich exactly right.

    Hey, aside from the predictable radio comedy snark, McGurk may actually be on to something here: Jerry Sandusky could become the next Not Mittens! Look at the great record, the charity work, the image, totally consistent cradle-to-grave Repulican, authoritarian – I mean, he’s had what, just a FEW WEEKS of bad press, but Newt had YEARS, even decades of that, and look how Newt’s come back.

    Jerry Sandusky for President, your quintessential R nominee, leader of men, friend to the kids. How can it miss?

    And it’s STILL going to be more popular with 75% of the GOP base than Mittens!

  • Rex the Wonder God

    I saw that, too. Have you ever dealt with pigs? They have to rut and root around, Nature did that, but they’re pretty darned smart, smarter than most dogs. And empathetic too, though not so much when they learn about how humans like bacon bits. But anyway, this could be a survey question, a simple one that would work great: If you had to choose, which of these would you choose to have living in your home: 1. Newt Gingrich or 2. a domesticated pig, any kind you choose, pot-bellied Viet Namese, standard meat porker, Arnold Ziffle whatever?

    The results could be revealing.

  • SouthernYankee

    Well the tea dippers forget Bush was there for 8 yrs and made it so bad that it will take more time for Obama to finish the job.  I agree with Joe above.  Republican of Wall Street are scared to death of OWS.  Newty Fruity is disgusting that even republicans in his own party say bad things about him.   After watching the sleezy  prick I want to get up and go take a shower.

    Democrats will defend Obama even though he sold them down the river.

  • Cedricward

    Actually, those creepy crawly things you find under logs have nutritional value and are a constructive part of the ecosystem.

    Newt Gingrich has no value whatsoever.

    Apologies to the creepy crawly things are in order

    DON IMUS IS ONE UGLY EX  DRUG ADDICT WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS!

  • Anonymous

    This Imus guy looks completely insane. He has the perfect face for radio so why do they keep putting his ugly mug on TV?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Terry-Beaton/100000940529089 Terry Beaton

    They’re right about one thing. When the cottons picked and all the fat sweating Repiglicans are sippin’ lemonade on the porch, it will be Romney who’s chosen to carry the corporate flag. Even the gunslingin’ simple minded Tea Party folks wouldn’t put such a turd machine out there as the candidate. I mean geez, would they?!

  • Anonymous

    I certainly hope the pigs go after Imus and get him fired for this one. Have they not suffered enough already?

  • John Kliber

    Imus looks like a dried up birch tree with eyes; I call it a draw.

  • SayyyyyWhat

    Imus should have retired after he showed his racist side towards the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team. However, had he retired on his 110th birthday back in 2003 he would not have to worry about Newt or a women’s bball team.  Imus’s face looks like a roadmap of Iraq, Iran and Egypt put together….old, old, old.

    The Christian Right are the greatest hypocrites since the Pharisee’s. I’m a Christian, but these so Called Right Wing Christians are an embarrassment to true Christians because of the hatred they show toward anyone that thinks differently than they do.

    i dont think so.  i think hillary is just waiting in the grass, like a snake, for when his party ditches him and puts her in the race.  wait and see.

    Funny that you can substitute “Rush Limbaugh” for “Don Imus” in that sentence.

    Lol!! Classic line by Imus about Newt!! Lol!!

    “Republicans of Wall Street”? Most Streeters are card-carrying Democrats nowadays. The True Lib lifestyle demands frequent and huge infusions of cash to be sustainable- and what’s money for if you can’t snort coke off a hooker’s belly, without any bluenosed notions of guilt? I agree that Bush provided a bad precedent that Dems were quick to exploit- what was that “compassionate conservatism” crapola but Liberalism Light, and merely a slower road to doom. And it’s always amusing to see how these liberal paragons of virtue vilify and demonise their most effective critics. Of course their spittle-spewing hatred is Righteous and not at all mean-spirited.

  • Concerned Citizen

    Its ok fro the president to have a communist mentor (Frank Marshall Davis), have a black separatist, America hating, anti-semitic reverend/church that he attended for 20 years, got married by and his children baptized, have his political career started in the living room of a domestic terrrorist (Bill Ayers) who bombed the pentagon and also sitting on organizations with Ayers to radically change the school system after lying and saying Ayers was just a guy on the block, have shady mortgage dealings with criminal Tony Retzko, wont release any of his school records, had a communist loving mother, has a connecticut ss #. Obama has way more baggage than any of the candidates today yet the main stream media refuses to vet Obama like they do to every Republican front runner.

    Limbaugh would be so proud of you for regurgitating his opening hate fest scree from today.

    And what, exactly, is untrue in Concerned Citizen’s statement?

  • Anonymous

    A nationally syndicated radio pundit and he has nothing better than classless ad hominem attacks? No disagreements on the issues, no rebuttal of policy statements, nothing substantive, only sophomoric comments about personal appearance? Now I remember why I don’t listen to Imus.

    I’m not a big fan of Don Imus, but this is funny (and true.)
