    Even Callista's Bad Jokes Play Into Newt's Delusions of Grandeur

    Even Callista's Bad Jokes Play Into Newt's Delusions of Grandeur

    Poor Callista Gingrich was forced to tell terrible jokes as she introduced her husband at CPAC Friday, and even her punchlines played to her husband's extremely high regard for his own intelligence. At one point, she boasted about how many books he has, noting, "Newt also has an entire library on his Kindle. I may be the most grateful person in America for this invention."

    The bulk of her jokes, though, were about golf: "Newt is an enthusiastic and committed golfer. He gets in and out of more sand traps than anyone I've ever seen," Callista said leaning into her punchline. When her husband arrived on stage, he made a little call-back, saying, "What Callista didn't tell you is that I'm a terrible golfer."

    In case that bit of modesty has you thinking Newt's lost his confidence, take a look at he dramatic photo composite of the group he refers to as his "Dream Team." It was projected above him on stage, and  we added it's obvious inspiration from The West Wing, to help drive Newt's point home. If you like it, it's available at CPAC as a knickknack

      Callista will be yesterday's punchline once Newt dumps her for his next wife. The one he is probably already dilly dallying with. Callista had better hope she never gets sick.

      "He gets in and out of more sand traps than anyone I've ever seen". Is that what adulterers call them now? "Sand traps"? Ewwwww.

      They need to show the video of her speaking, with her odd robotic head slowly swiveling from side-to-side as she panned the audience with her unblinking laser-scanner eyes. She moved and spoke in slow motion, with long pauses between words, like her batteries were about to die. It was painful and scary to watch.

      I am deeply worried about the impending lack of comedic material once the Porker-in-Chief and his robotic sow vanish from the scene. The conservatives deserve an A+ for entertaining the nation with such a large array of non-electable goofballs and assorted imbeciles.

        I applaud you for finding something positive to say about this train wreck.

      What? He found the wind up key for his Callista stepford doll? And that dream team photo? Man a LOT of photoshop went into that one as he looks a good 100 pounds thinner!

      His campaign song should be "I've Got a Brand New Girlfriend" I wonder what she looks like after getting out of the shower? Maybe her hair is waterproof?

      Callista and Newt are not from this planet. Mars invades earth.

    • Rich W  •  3 mths ago
      Callista's only joke is her hair!
    • Nic  •  3 mths ago
      His wife is a blonde, he married her for her looks as I recall one of his former wives saying. The fact that she had an affair with a married man, and is blonde says a lot about her mental prowess, the fact she married Gingrich even more; she's not very bright.

      I bet Newt makes her wear stockings and garter belt and not pantyhose.
