Gingrich Would Consider Asking Palin to Take a 'Major Role' in His Administration
It looks like Newt Gingrich is set on pandering to those "tea partiers" in South Carolina that are still fans of the half-term Governor Sarah Palin. After Palin came close to endorsing him in the primary on Fox the previous evening, Gingrich told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he'd consider asking her to take "a major role in the next administration" if he's elected president.
As if we didn't have enough other reasons he should never come anywhere near the White House, I'd say that's a disqualifier right there.
BLITZER: A lot of us noticed last night that Sarah Palin virtually endorsed you. She said if she lived in South Carolina, she would probably vote for you right now, which, in my mind, and I suspect in others, immediately raised the possibility if you were to get the nomination, would she be on your short list as a potential vice presidential running mate?
GINGRICH: Well, look, I don't want to suggest anything. We haven't talked about anything at all.
Governor Palin is somebody who I think was a very good reform governor. She was extraordinarily effective negotiating with big oil. She did a good job in the state of Alaska. I think she's a very articulate leader of the Tea Party conservative movement.
I was honored and delighted last night when she said if she were in South Carolina, she would vote for Newt Gingrich. I hope everybody who likes her decides she's right, and I hope they vote for me.
Certainly, she's one of the people I would call on for advice, I would ask her to consider taking a major role in the next administration if I'm president. But nothing has been discussed of any kind, and it wouldn't be appropriate to discuss it at this time.
I'm just delighted that she and Todd -- both have been so supportive of my candidacy, and they recognize that, you know, I am a Tea Party reform conservative. I'm not part of the Washington establishment. And I think that's the signal that her endorsement last night really sends.
BLITZER: Mr. Speaker, good luck. We'll stay in close touch. Thanks very much for joining us.
GINGRICH: Stay in touch. Thanks, Wolf.

Stick a fork in Newt. He's done. Palin is the death of any candidacy. Not that he had much of a chance before anyway.

Is that Major Roll instead of "Major Role"? Maybe he was talking about a major roll in the hay.
She could be the present Mrs Gingrich's hair glue-er. That would appear to be a full time job just to keep that one large curl glued in place.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
in the same sentence, all i could think was "roll, roll, roll in ze hay!"
Newt will be interviewing her for the position later in the front seat of his car.
He probably wants to pork her like supposedly NBA star Glenn Rice did.

Supposedly only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are even on the ballot in Virginia. I think the GOP race is coming down to being between these two candidates.

He was never serious about running for president. This declaration is all the proof anyone needs.
he just wanted to see how much more money he could swindle.
Not that Repubs think that laws apply to them, but isn't directly or indirectly promising a political appointment against some law?
...carefully said that he would "consider" miss half ass.
I'm still processing the fact that Newt could find a woman on this earth who would "share" him with another woman.
Well, there's enough hot air blowing through his orifices to simultaneously heat a standard 'Thug mansion and an attached mother-in-law's quarters...

are you sure he didn't mean major roll?

It could be both

...that's the winning ticket. I'll bet everyone will vote for gingRICH now...for dog killer and he'll still lose.

He doesn't even have eggs yet, let alone chickens.
I don't think even he is stupid enough to go down that road and ticket with her. Her luster has worn away with everyone except maybe Hannity.

Now I just spent 20 minutes watching Young Frankenstein videos. I'll bet Gingrich thinks he has an enormous Schwanzstucker.
Watch out Callista! Newt's probably thinkin' that unlike Helen, whose face launched 1000 ships, Callista's looks more like her's wore out three bodies! Thus, a time for REAL change!
of the Washington establishment".... and a major role from Half Governor Palin....
What a circus.
...administration is not fit to be president. Of course, that's only reason number 10,000,001 why Gingrich is not qualified. Newt Gingrich FOR OBLIVION.
He does know that "mistress" is not a cabinet position, right?
There may be a cabinet position that has something to do with shelves and such. Kind of like the desk position.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

Yeah! She could be in charge of the Office of Refudiation.
Someone's got to clean the toilets and all things considered, that's a steadier job than she's had in a few years.
"Better." It's what we should ask of ourselves and of our leaders.

Newt should be careful. The last person who considered Palin for a major role in his administration lost the 2008 presidential election!
I hope to hell he wouldn't consider her for the dept of energy. Remember McCain said she knew more about energy than anyone else?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
"Governor Palin is somebody who I think was a very good reform governor." Really? Can he name one thing that she reformed that was not to benefit her and her family?
of course.
The good life is a day at the beach.
he just wants the left over campaign funds
Pushing a Palin "Major Role" ensures that he will lose.
Collect huge quantities of cash, and keep the left-overs once he folds his campaign.
that perhaps he could make her a Czarina, what with her home being so close to Russia and we all know how much the Tea Partiers love Czars that they just noticed when the black President came into office and not for the last 40 years that we have had them.,
The good life is a day at the beach.
Newtie's extracted about all the mileage out of her that he can get. Time to find somebody else he can use for a while.
With his track record, I wouldn't be surprised if he was test driving a new model now. He likes to test drive the new one before he turns in the older one.
The fact that this man has found three women in his life who would marry him amazes me. No, it floors me.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
what an arrogant piece of lying shit this ugly bastard is. As if. As if he's got a chance.
BTW, you buried the lede:
Newt's the new mavericky candidate!!!
me-oww!
that was the best "line" in the clip.
If he says "you betch ya" I'm heading to bathroom to vomit.

Along with Colbert's Super Pac and the Republikan clown show, this years presidential campaign is a blinding example to the rest of the world that the USA is lost in the ozone. Any person with critical thinking skills will see Obama as a superior choice over the opposition. Place your bets!
Newt fancies himself as the smartest one in the room yet he would consider bringing on Palin?? Here we have had the pleasure of not hearing so much about that moron and he has to bring her name up? I hope he is just trying to pander to the Tea Party and has no serious intention of following through.
Also why in the heck would Blitzer address Newt as Mr. Speaker?? He left Congress in 99 and got kicked out of the Speaker position for ethics violations back in what, 97?? Why would he still be called by an honorary title at this point in time? We can only have one speaker at a time---and he is NOT it. I guess that is the same thing as calling someone who used to coach "Coach" years after they change jobs. Either way, resting on your laurels.
I think he's figured... "Holy shit! I only entered this race to sell books! With the rest of these losers, I've actually got a shot at it, so how can I most screw it up to torpedo the chances?"

What position he'd offer and if his current marriage is "open".
Does this tell you something? This clown is desperate!! What a worthless jerk off.
...the "stupidest voters" demographic.
Good call.
be considered a 'major role'? say, secretary of fancy pageant walking? or, maybe asst secy....?
... perhaps the best thing would be for Newt to appoint Palin as his chief of staff. That should make his administration so ineffectual that he can do relatively little harm.
Knowing the horny historian, I am sure he is wondering if Sarah might be "Open" to different and various positions on his staff. It's ok cause Calastia is into it.
If not now, when?

she must really wanting some more attention...because she should get it
Or maybe she can be ambassador to Russia
All aboard the crazy train.
Sarah gets 15 more minutes.
which translates to roughly about two more years.....
Newt would never leave his wife for Sarah. Newt marries for life
Secretary of State .... the Insane Sate
If I were The Newt, I would make Sarah Palin the Librarian of Congress, cause she's like read like all of the newspapers and magazines and books there every was, don't cha know. Plus she has those cool glasses and she could wear her hair in a bun with a pencil stuck in it, and Newt could be there trying to check out a book, but she won't let him cause he is over due with a book he checked out about the history of Fannie Mae, and he must be punished and spanked severely with her very long librarian ruler stick.
If not now, when?
It had to be said.
going to be the nominee, and
(2) she's too busy grifting to want to take a relatively low government salary again.
Once a grifter, always a grifter. That's the lesson of those two clowns.
The name and voice kills elections and erections.
