Funny Video: Newt Gingrich Mocked by Colbert For Lack of Morals
*** Check out Colbert as he mocks the amoral Gingrich trying to make a political comeback for President.
From Denny: We all know that stinkin' thinkin' Newtie Gingrich is trying to run for President in 2012 - so he got a head start this year. That's why he keeps trying to grab headlines with ridiculous and outrageous - also contradictory - statements.
Like it wasn't enough to be rid of this guy when he had to resign in disgrace as a former House Speaker. He was so mad he could not dislodge first Bill Clinton and then Al Gore from the White House. Back then Newtie announced his plans of how to assume the presidency as Speaker of the House and avoid getting elected: impeach the President and Vice President. The funny thing is that after he succeeded in dragging the country through the mud to impeach Clinton, well, Clinton refused to leave the White House and it was Newtie who had to go.
Newtie is back to provide comic relief to all the late night comics and bloggers like me who enjoy holding him up as such a great example of moral leadership. OK, we really like to mock the old hypocrite. Hey, everyone needs a sport, right?! :)
So, this week Colbert chimed in with his thoughts about Newtie's moral compass problems. The story in Esquire Magazine from Newtie's last wife provided some interesting back story to entertain America about a possible Presidential candidate who never could pass The Smell Test.
Gingrich is well known for his relationship failings and running stupid after wife after wife, even before he has divorced the previous one. The guy is seriously insecure, obnoxious and cruel. Like Colbert said, "Newt Gingrich is so pro-marriage, he can't stop doing it."
Newtie defends his roaming hypocrisy and moral failings, "There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live," which Colbert interpreted as "Do as I say, Not who I do."

Funny Video: Colbert Reveals Master Plan to Ruin Gay Marriage
*** Enjoy Colbert's outrageous humor as he comments on American society and the new federal ruling striking down the ban on gay marriage.
From Denny: America's comics are having a field day with the news coverage about the federal ruling lifting the California Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage. Of course, Colbert is his usual funny mocking self who brings sanity to sometimes insane politics and American culture.
When a news story like this gets mocked it should stop the thought process of some who are stubborn and too judging of others who are gay. "But for the grace of God go I..." Come on; who the heck chooses a life like this on purpose? Who wants to be an extremely small percentage of the general population constantly getting pecked on - and bullied - by the all the "properly feathered" chickens in the barn yard? Better yet, and how is what one percent of America's population living going to negatively affect my life or marriage? That's my responsibility.
Colbert enjoys his usual play on words in his funny word games - like saying that gay marriage is just regular marriage that gays are now entitled to engage. Colbert amuses us by declaring the whole idea of marriage is "kinda gay anyway." So, Stephen goes on to state his silly long-winded plan to ruin same-sex marriages as a retaliation.
Yeah, Stephen thinks we all should spend lots of time in America's wine country to the tune of about ten years. Hmmm... he might have something there. Maybe if everyone sat down over a few glasses of wine they might figure out they have more in common than a few differences. It's called being human. Anyway, enjoy Colbert's usual non-stop outrageous humor.
