So this group only hired Ole Newt to speak to them, right?

He didn't promise to do any lobbying, or influence peddling, or other assistance in getting off the terrorist roster?

Did he?

The fun thing about this is watching his wingnuttiest supporters try to wrap their head around this in the run up to the election.

Wingnut 1 - Oh dear lord...Romney invested in a company that disposes of fetuses?

Wingnut 2 - Oh my, this doesn't fit within our ridged pro-life world view. What shall we do?

Wingnut 1 - It is indeed a conundrum.

Wingnut 2 - Wait, is Obama still a black man?

Wingnut 1 - Why yes, he is!

Wingnut 2 - Problem solved!!

I notice that Maryam was dressed in Tiffany blue, obviously expecting something from Newt.

She could even be Ahmadinejad in drag. I wouldn't recognize him without the beard.

Because it worked out so well with the Islamaniacs and the Russians in Afghanistan.

Those kinky neocons love themselves a three-way clusterfuck.

<blockquote>The man who heard that a group called “the Organizing Committee for Convention for Democracy in Iran” would pay him and fly him to Paris to speak and didn’t think <strong>anyone else would think</strong> anything was suspicious thinks he has a reputation to maintain? Dear God.</blockquote>

"I'm shocked, shocked, to find out there's prostitution going on in this establishment!"

"Your rent boy, sir."

Unwanted extremists of dubious ethics, rejected by the mainstream in their native countries, gotta stick together.
