Steve Benen: Disgraced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich recently boasted that presidential campaigns as extraordinary as his are only seen “once or twice in a century.” He may have been onto something. After all, it takes a special kind of presidential candidate to go on vacation three weeks after launching a campaign:
…..Gingrich has raised eyebrows among supporters and political observers by taking a vacation with his wife - during the same week prominent religious conservatives are gathering in Washington. Gingrich, who has been married three times, has been aggressively courting the religious conservatives, including many of the “pro-marriage” activists gathering in Washington.
Sure, everyone takes breaks, but Gingrich has been a candidate for three weeks. To borrow a 2008 cliche, if the former Speaker can’t even handle a month on the campaign trail without a vacation, how in the world does he expect to handle the pressure of being the president of the United States?

Update: Exclusive photo of Newt on an unnamed beach today:

I just watched bill maher and he was sticking up for Edwards and wiener!
Oh, the pl are probably not having a very good time, with these two.
I like Gawker’s take on the Gingy: “A few weeks of casually campaigning for president has already exhausted Newt and Calista Gingrich who are taking a vacation to an undisclosed location. Wherever it is, they might as well just….stay there.”
Apparently, President Obama makes it look so easy. Ha ha ha!
i tells ya. And that cool mien of PBO just tears them up to no end.
I’ll bet that is a sight to behold, Newt and his wife on the beach.
Hey Chipsticks! Good stories from Toledo!
The Newtster on the Beach would be quite an “eyesore” Heh
I sent you an email w/story & videos from Swampland. It seems since Paul Ryan is such an avid Ayn Rand fan that the Values Network is chasing him trying to hand him Bibles. Heh
Hey guys, you gotta see whT santorum just said about the president. This is fucked up!:
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/06/rick-santorum-obamas-support-for-entitlements-shows-he-doesnt-believe-america-is-exceptional.php
Dog whistle for the nut-jobs. Lets see before 1960 we had segregation, no civil rights amendments, no voting rights….yea bring back that exceptional america.
Boy I’ll be glad when debate time comes so this president can tear them and their talking points to shreds.
He might as well be on vacation. It will be a life time one for him.
I think newt realize that he does not have what it takes to be prez. He is just too old school for the long haul. His personal life won’t hold up to the scrutiny.
What to know where Newt is vacationing just ask Ariana Huffington…
Ariana is so turned on by Newt’s body - especially when he gets into his sleek green tankini. (BARF!)
He takes a vacation three weeks after entering the race?…. what? - all those lies took a toll and he needed to refresh himself? Newt’s a joker. Oh yeah a campaign like his comes once or twice a century - just like an outbreak of E.coli posioning or a flare up of herpes.
Unfortunately I can’t help but imagine Pillsbury Doughboy in a swim trunk with his Moobies and gut out and about :roll: :lol: :lol:
ewwwwwwww…….. have to get that image out of my head fast!…. lol
Fred you are too funny: “Pillsbury Doughboy”…. :lol:
:lol:
Ms. Chips, I’m suing you for the destruction of my computer(I hurled juice onto it) and for emotional distress/ torment which has caused me to go blind. My lawyer will be in touch.
I think we might have to make it a class action suit. My eyes popped out of my head, and I couldn’t stop laughing for about 5 minutes - I’m sure I have some brain damage from the lack of oxygen… :D
Count me in on the class action suit Theo. I just saw the Borat like Man trunk/Mankini on the newster and I went temporarily blind for 5 seconds. :)
Pass the smelling salts. Phew.
hahahahahahaha! :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
:lol:
GOOD LAWD Chipsticks! That picture is a HOOT!
OMG!!!! now if I saw that coming towards me on a beach I would run.
OH, GEEZE!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I just threw up in my mouth….
hahahahahahahaha. You guys are hilarious :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
somewhere Borat is calling Doughboy and thanking him for stealing his errm;hell I don’t know how to call that green monstrosity :lol:
Oh dear. My mind is damaged forever after seeing that Pot belly. Unless I see my president’s picture on the beach, life will never be the same. Chipsticks do something to make my mind recover from image.
:lol:
Okay, I hope this makes up for it M4O:
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
WOOOOO LA LAAAAAAAAAA!
OOOOOOh La La…. Now’s that’s what I’m talking about. “Fit For Office” Indeed. And this was 2 years ago. Imagine what he looks like now. HUBBA HUBBA! sssssssmoking HOT!
Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy!!!!! That’s what I’m talking about, Ms. Chips! You are on fire :)
THAT’S our Chips!!!!
I was hoping you would pull that exact image. Heh.
I owed that much to you all by way of apology! :lol:
Thanks Chipsticks - this makes up for my earlier brain damage,and my eyes are still popping out of my head, but in a very good way… ;)
Yes, lawd.
Dammmmmmnnnnnnnnn I went in a coma for a few minutes. Iam in heaven. Lord have mercy on meeeeee. Chipsticks I love ya.
:D
MY EYES! MY EYES! How could you do that? I will never get that picture out of my head.
It appears our dear Chips has a bit of a cruel streak. Now she has an ingenius way to really make us BEHAVE.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Sorry everyone!
What an ugly physique.
I’m with Me4obama, Chipsticks owe us some Obama porn to get that image out of our heads.
Hahahaha…. :lol: :lol: some Obama porn
I’m guessing you mean shirtless pics of POTUS on the beach and body surfing in Hawaii.
That’s exactly what I mean and Chips came through.
When I saw that picture of Newt, I started laughing and haven’t stop yet. Oh my gosh.
I don’t post much but good grief, Chip i think that picture should come with a goverment health warning.
Warning: The Department of Health and Human Services warns that looking at the swimsuit picture of Newt Gingrich will leave you temporarily blind for 5 seconds, make you want to throw up, make you want to wash your eyes with acid and finally you will be insane for about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
hahahahahaha. You need to patent that, Quickdraw :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
ah yes, hysterical blindness.
WHAT IS SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN.
Damn you, Chips!
It’s alright PJ… if you look at the thread again, Chips has rectified it with a sssmoking hot pic of a shirtless POTUS. :)
Yes, UT, the prez shot helps…and yet…*shudders* Mommy!
:lol:
Chipsticks, you sure know how to shake up a Saturday! ROFLMAO!!!!! You little devil you!
GGail, I hope you’ll recover from that sight some day!!
I’m gonna need a Guinness or two :-)
;-)
I’m smacking my lips already! Yummmmmmmm
Yum at the Guiness or Yum Yum at PBO? ;)
But not yum at Newt? :-(
:lol:
Hahahahahahahahaha…… NEVER! Do you want lightning to strike me?
Even though I know it’s a photoshopped photograph of Newt…. I bet you $5 that’s how he looks in a mankini. Imagine that lying next to you on a beach…. The Horror! :shock:
$10 to your $5 he looks waaaaaaaaay worse than mankini Newt ;)
Only if you think the taste of your own vomit is yummy.
Yum Ummmmm Yum - both! He sure makes that drink look frothy and tasty!
LET’S BE PERFECTLY CLEAR…My Yums are for POTUS and the Guinness NOT Newt! Let’s not get it twisted. still ROFLMAO
“Frothy and tasty” . . .
Now that’s a delicious image, GGail.
yes indeedy NCW :-)
Am I, the only one that see a camel toe on the Newtser?
you’re sure you saw a camel toe? ;)
yes, it looks like that one Shania Twain has.
it’s an insult to Twain’s camel toe :) :lol:
lol
;) ;) ;)
Fred, man I cannot stop laughing. I was not expecting that reply to my joke. An insult to Ms. Twain’s cameltoe. The last time I saw Ms. Twain on tv, she came out on stage in a skirt. I guess someone told her about that cameltoe.
I am full of surprises my friend :D
I prefer the one on Molly Shannon in her SNL skit! Cracks me up if anyone can find that…the one when she’s trying out to be the stripper. Hilarious.
hahahahahhahahaha!!! :lol:
I told you Newtster would be an EYESORE on the Beach! Good thing I’ve got a strong stomach! :)
Mr. President makes it all better though…….Thank you.
Ohhh My!
You need to put a warning label on that! I nearly choked on my chicken sandwich when I saw that disgusting picture of what’s his face!
Sign me up for that class action suit:) Funny. 3 days and rest. 3 days and rest.Just like the House of Representatives.Maybe THAT’S what he thinks he signed up for!
Reaching for the brain bleach….good lord that is offensive.
I need the Department of Homeland Security to show up with Hazmat suits on to disinfect me :lol:
Chips, you have destroyed my eyesight completely. I’m sending my legal team to your house. You are gonna pay mightily for that pic of newt in a mankini. :LOL:
:lol:
Zizi, I sincerely hope you are not alleging that Newt is not attractive in a mankini? :shock:
You can put “Jabba the Hutt” in a mankini, but attractive, that’s a stretch to far.
We need to continue donating to https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/TheObamaDiary to keep that newt way from us!
Hey Chipsticks you need to put a big gold chain around Newt’s neck.
