Poot's Looonnnngggg Farewell


When he dropped out of the race for the Rethuglican nomination yesterday, moon colony leader and Tiffany shopper Newt "Poot" Gingrich decided to share every random thought in his head for an excruciating 26 minutes. While staffers yawned and reporters put away their notepads and tried to slip out of the room, Poot bloviated on a range of subjects from Kaiser Wilhelm II, to asteroid mining, to Chinese bondholders, to 1607 Jamestown, to....well, you get the picture. As the Fux Channel's Shepard "God, Get Me Out Of Here" Smith commented to his TV audience after the marathon:
"Wow — well, I’m exhausted. And just a guess here, I’m not one who normally just sort of guesses at things...But I’m guessing both of you are exhausted as well. The two of you who stayed with us."
BAM! We'll miss you, Poot. See you on the moon.
