Newt 2012 sticker: "America is my wife now"

Inspired by a Warren Ellis tweet, Robert made this fitting Newt bumper-sticker.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

But he wants to know if it’s okay if he sees other countries. It’s not clear if it’s okay with him if we see other Presidents.

  Better not ask him now…let’s wait till he’s in hospital recovering from a serious illness, that seems like a good time to ask.

And tonight, America, it’s Newt’s turn to be on top.

It says a lot about the SC Republican party that they would vote for him.

Do we get to divorce him if we catch him in bed with China?

  That depends whether we go by the rules he applies to himself or the rules he applies to everyone else.

Best comment I saw last night…

Overheard at Newt victory party: “What’s with the bowl full of keys?”

Newt’s probably got no chance of winning the presidency. However, I can just see the Republican dream ticket: Palin/Gingrich 2016.

So he’s going to screw us repeatedly than run off to be president of some other country while America lays sick & dying?

Maybe he will liberalize plural marriage.

In that case, we better vaccinate against every major disease, because if we get sick, he’ll leave us.

He promised his first wife for better or worse.
He promised his second wife for richer or for poorer
He promised his third wife in sickness and in health
America should pass on the last part.

I really don’t care about other people personal life. They can do whatever they want. Except when this person is a republican. Then I need to tell everyone I know about his life twice a day. Ohh… no I’m not inconsistant I’m doing this because that republican is campagning on conservative ground so I want to remind people about is none conservative life you know.

  The reason why they are bashing it on him for the most part is because he did it to Bill Clinton during his presidency.
  
  Not saying it’s right but figure I point that out.

  If you want to make laws governing peoples lives: abortion gay marriage, introduce religion into government you had better be prepared to have your private life discussed.

  I beg your pardon?

  I don’t either, but Newt, and a heck of a lot of Republicans, seem to have an inordinate interest in controlling other people’s personal lives. So when we find out they’re conducting their personal lives in ways that they would sanctimoniously berate others for doing, even using the power of law to punish them for it, then, yes, it’s open season on their peccadilloes.

  So why the hell aren’t we using the tried and true troll method of making up a fake profile for another country and flirting with him online so he makes a fool of himself?

It might work out a bit better for America if she were his mistress instead.
