Newtzi threatens government shutdown

Didn't this fuckhat take his ball and go home 10 years ago?

Yes, I'm talking about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich - the creep who defined Bushism before it became Bushism. Even though he's out of public office, he still doesn't know when to shut up.

Newtzi was responsible for the oft-mocked government shutdowns of the mid-'90s, which resulted from his own shitty coping skills. Now he's urging the Republicans to do it again - this time to force a congressional vote on offshore oil drilling. (He thinks people aren't going to blame the Republicans for the artificially high gas costs, even though the GOP caused a vast majority of the problem.)

The Newter says that if the Democrats don't go along with the GOP's notion of trying to drill its way out of the gas crisis (instead of focusing on conservation and alternative fuels), the Republicans ought to make sure the government shuts down past September.

Please, Newty. Go for it. I would love to see the results of the next election if the Republicans try that. People aren't in the mood for a repeat of the kookish grandstanding of the '90s.
