It would have been classy of Newt to acknowledge that the only woman Speaker ever, Nancy Pelosi, was incredibly effective at her job. Zero chance these embarrassing shenanigans would transpire under her watch.
Greene et al are just in it for shits and giggles and the publicity and grievances, whereas Elise thinks she’s a real Congress critter instead of a diversity prop for the MAGA boys club.
Newt knows those rowdy boys really need a mom to get them in line, or give them time-outs for being naughty. Their party is fractured. They have a few old timers who are terrible in a classic conservative way, but who want to push their weird capitalist policies and will give Dems a few trinkets to get it done. They have a large group of truly terrible people who are willing to kiss Trump’s toes to keep their DC gig, and then they have the far-righties who are not legislators, just culture war generation Q. They don’t like each other, and they don’t trust each other’s level of cruelty. It’s either too much or not enough.
That photo of Gingrich might have been taken when his current wife, was his staffer, and used to service him under his desk. Where is that paper clip???
wake me for the swimsuit competition, I could use a laugh.
Or an emetic.
Why do all these crusty old bastards live to be like a thousand fucking years old? That’s enough from newt Gingrich already.
Ta, Evan. Gingrich, as always, should go fuck himself, with or without votes.

OTOH, it his true that Lauren Boebert has, in the recent past, given men a hand.
Desiccated sack of pus has an opinion!

Did his head get less round? He looks like someone is pulling a glob of taffy.
it used to resemble a balloon with a dead, desiccated plant on top and a mean face drawn on with a magic marker.
Van Duyne is my rep, and I would not want her as speaker. On second thought, I don't know of anyone better over there.
better is not a word to apply to any current (and most past) republican congresscritters.
Whaddabout Cathy McMorris Rodgers? She used to be whip, I think. She's Bachmann-ignorant (Pensacola Bible College).
Is she still in Congress? Haven't heard anything about her in a while.
She is. 5th District of Washington
Someone give Newt his pudding & pills - then send him back to bed.
What is shocking is that only eight out of nine of them are white.
nah, the real shock is that one isn't!
I know! Let's ask Newt Gingrich how to solve this.
He's sure to give us primo advice based on his past record of success.
Uh, so the answer is what?
Put some random broad who we all hate, though not as much as her current constiuents, in charge and give her no power?
Great idea, Newt! Deserving of attention.
Pull yer finger. Sure, interview coming up, MSM.
Speaker Liz Cheney. If Assmouth could be Speaker then she can. And while she’s still loathsome, she’s at least loathsome with integrity.
I think she used up all her 2023 integrity while on the Jan 6 committee. Maybe in January 2024 when it starts over.
I like a Speaker without loathsome.
We’d all like that. We ain’t getting it. I’ll take the slightest modicum of integrity over whatever the fuck the rest of the GOP is snorting.
I'd like the Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam and eggs, please, but with a little less Spam.
Well there's the Spam and Eggs and Bacon and Spam, that's only got a little bit of Spam in it.
after writing my post I realized that I had conflated the Spam sketch with the Dead Bishop on the Landing sketch "K: What's for afters?
M: Rat cake, rat sorbet, rat pudding, or strawberry tart.
K: (eyes lighting up) Strawberry tart?
M: Well, it's got *some* rat in it.
K: 'Ow much?
M: Three. Rather a lot, really.
K: Well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it.
