Exodus: Newt’s top campaign staff abandons ship

The Beltway is abuzz over the mass exodus today of Newt Gingrich’s key campaign operatives.
Via AP, “Ginrgrich press spokesman Rick Tyler told The Associated Press that he’s resigned along with campaign manager Rob Johnson, senior strategists and aides in key early primary states.”
A Twitter follower of mine wonders about their parting gifts: “No Tiffany’s tri[n]kets for staffers, huh?”
I wonder what took them all so long to abandon Newt.
Grass-roots conservatives, after all, quit on him a long time ago.
Oh, well. He’ll always have Arianna and the Amalfi Coast. And Rev. Al. And Nancy. And Dede.
Where is Newt? Vacationing in the Caribbean.
Bon voyage, Beltway baron.
Can we finally, finally say it now: DLTDHYOTWO!
Oh, and thanks for the memories: The rebuke in Dubuque…

I do believe he has been vacationing in the Greek Islands.
Mark my words – someday he’ll be making Easter Baskets on The Apprentice and trying to sell them on the Upper East Side.
Will Barry have to eat a cherry out of Hillary’s navel?
Dang Hang!! Set down with some vino after dinner to see what’s shakin at MM and get a screen spewer right off the bat. Can’t you put a warning on those?
Hangfire,
Only after the ship’s physician has certified it “safe for consumption”!
( For those that haven’t seen a Shellback Crossing before )

Cherries have that evil red dye.
One global warming hoaxer down, Pawlenty and Romney to go. You mess with the Global Warming Scam, you will get burned.
One RINO down … many, many more to go …
Question for all of you to consider:
Which happens first? …
Newt withdraws from the race or Weiner-boy leaves Congress?
Weiner boy wins. He’ll keep showing up for work even after his office is occupied by someone else. Libs don’t know how to deal with consequences. He could always use the “devil made me do it” defense.
Adios, Newt. Don’t let the door…
Seriously? Better call Geraldine! Could it be Weiner, wait for it…. “has got no place to GO!”?
Seems less like a group resignation and more like a mutiny.
Perhaps Newt should entice Ed Rollins away from Bachmann and take the muzzle off him.
You can, but I would rather say, “Just get the hell out!”
That’d be like crawling under the couch and munching on dust bunnies.
HA! We should have known Newt was into kink…or S&M.
Shows who has more common sense.
Pandering to the muddled middle is one thing, but sitting on the couch with Nasty Pelosi and buying into the Gorebal Warmongering thing is certainly not what a conservative with good ideas would do, particularly given the information at the time on Gorbal Warmongering.
It was flat-out opportunism for Newt, and those who have watched him the past 4-5 years recognize that clearly.
If Newt was a conservative over those past 4-5 years, he would not have continually waited long after many others chose positions on issues to see what way the wind blew, then ham-handedly announce his position as if he were the first to think of it.
At one time, I would have supported Newt, even long after he was out of the House because back then, he was a leader on issues. Now, he’s nothing more than an opportunistic hack, which tells me more than anything that I cannot trust him at all. Why? Because if the wind blows in a slightly different direction, I would be abandoned in a heart beat.
Newt: Please have your guys stop calling me. Why would I send your sorry @ss money? Do us all a favor, take a longer vacation.
5 to 3 odds Hillary is the only one,of the two, on the ticket. barky is going to be a little tied up.
In the east, the wind is blowing
Strange, that wind.
That’s gourmand, of the worst kind, only a gluttonous peasant would put M&Ms in popcorn!
(munching popcorn) More cheese Gromit!
Dr. Dealgood: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… Dyin’ time’s here.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
Help, Help, I’m being repressed!!!
Newt Gingrich is only interested in flogging his brand.
This is what most of the Republican presidential “hopefuls” are interested in.
Oops? Could Sarah Palin be feathering her nest by pretending to run for President?
Check back in a few months from now and see who has profited from phony campaigns.
In the meantime ask yourselves who exactly paid for the non-campaign bus of Sarah Palin. While she promoted her brand and spouted nonsensical word salads about the genesis of our country.
If any of you gave a penny…. think again.
Malkin: simple correction would be that the cruise was in the Mediterranean. Do facts not count?
Harry,
Your insight as to the motives of how GOP candidates will use their supports money is profound.
Perhaps you can enlighten us concerning the motives behind the $150 million collected in September 2008 by the Obama campaign? Most of the money came in samll untraceable transactions after Obama removed all filters and safeguards that would have denied questionable transactions.
Oh, I remember that. Actually, I thought it was $300 mil. They we were selling t-shirts in Gaza and working the phone banks. Funny how that works.
While he’s in the vicinity, maybe ha can disarm the ‘snuke in the snizz’.
I think you’re right, but his “company” will be promoting a new chain of sex toy shops.
Well, Newt’s melt-down is starting sooner than I would have expected.
Who wants to bet Newt supports Obama in the general election if an actual conservative wins the GOP nominiation?
Why are there so few true conservatives in the GOP “leadership?”
Newt, dude, even your hired associates are telling you to retire and write more books.
Newt, I’m calling you out on the B.S. You have spoken about “compromise” a lot. Why do conservatives feel compelled to compromise with regressives who do not care a whit about our Constitution. Yes, I call you out because you do not have a lick of patriotism and love of country to be called remotely conservative. It must be hell living without a spine. Goodbye now.
Interesting that yesterday (6/09) I posed a question in my post (#109) asking who would quit first … Newt or Weiner …
Then today on Special Report they have an internet poll asking the same thing …
Conincidence? … I think not …
