So I'm not the only one who thinks this?
I had done a couple of lolz on Cheezburger noticing that Newt Gingrich looks very much like a Hobbit.
Apparently, I'm not the only one to think this since I've noticed people arriving here by querying Google about just this.
You just know he has those hairy feet.
Nasty little hobbitses!

To me he looks like a Keebler elf. Or one of those jingly Christmas elves--remember those? Pointy hat, floppy arms and legs--they were popular Christmas decor in the mid-20th century or thereabouts. I remember there was a little one hanging on the tree and two bigger ones sitting on the piano, next to the basket of gold-painted pinecones and the plastic reindeer, LOL.
ReplyDeleteOne of those plump-faced, diminutive elves, anyway. Which are like hobbitses. As opposed to those willowy Tolkien elves.
Oh yeah! I forget about those. And I even sold a stuffed little dude (one of them) on EBAY years ago. I never found another one in any thrift store. Newt is a little Keebler elf. Who likes to write Nazi fiction. And share his wife's cookies with...other elves.
ReplyDeleteOh, Newt likes to share his cookies with other elves. I'm pretty sure he wants all his wife's cookies for himself. At least until he decides she's not his favorite flavor any more.
ReplyDeleteI just hope he's not into Fudge Stripes.
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm not sure that's presidential.
Oh Gawd. I just saw an ad for Senator Rand Paul below this comment box.
What HAVE I DONE?!?
Heh heh, Ernest J. Keebler, he likes variety.
ReplyDeleteBTW I'm having trouble sending mail but not getting mail for some reason....
I did that, Amy.
ReplyDeleteOnce somebody starts talking to me I soon disable their email account and then monopolize the conversation.
So they can only listen.
(I'm JOKING!)
We're back up.
ReplyDeleteI keep chuckling every time I see Newtie on the news. I wonder if every time Callista catches Ernest J. Keebler, I mean Newt, with his eye on another cookie jar, does he have to take her back to Tiffany's for more "sprinkles"?
I don't even know what she looks like. I imagine D.C. matronly. I wouldn't think she'd be as young as he'd probably like her to be (that's the mistress). Perfect hair. And of course she looks on adoringly and claps every time he says a sentence with a verb.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he has "sexy" knickers with like Capital Hill emblazoned on them.
And then he says to Callista, "Watch. Little Newt's going to walk out the door...any moment now..."
I would love it if just once one of these guys had a wife who rolled her eyes every time her husband said something stupid at a podium. And maybe blew a few raspberries.
ReplyDeleteThe ad that's currently below these comments is decidedly weird. "No Teacher Left Behind." And a robot seemingly attempting to molest a teacher. That's advertising now?
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen that ad. The ads disappeared off this page. Probably because I clicked on the one for the joint supplements.
ReplyDeleteCallista Gingrich looks kinda like the blonde lady/alien suit from "Mars Attacks." She is two years older than I am, which makes her Gen X (I read somewhere that she's the same age as Liz Phair), but she's dressed and coiffed like she's 60--her style is definitely D.C. matronly. She's freakishly fascinating.
The bit with the eye-rolling and the raspberries would make a good SNL skit. Perhaps we'll catch at least one good eyeroll from a candidate's spouse before this election is over!
Oh you did tell me that elsewhere! I apologize! I forget a lot. Like I realized I forget to apply deodorant after my bath when I was downstairs vacuuming, ran upstairs and applied deodorant. Then I came back downstairs and about two minutes later I thought, "Did I just go upstairs and apply deodorant?" I had no clue. I had to feel under my arms. And I was like, "Oh good." This would worry me but I see it more as a concentration/focus problem than a memory one. Because generally my memory's probably still better than the average bear. But I don't get to choose what I remember very well and what I remember not at all. So in another sense, I'm hopeless.
ReplyDeleteThey'd be sunk if wifey did the eyeroll. Because I think America only votes for candidates with Stepford wives. Michelle Obama is a blissful exception. But I'm sure you remember how they demonized her. I think they wanted us to think she'd be tossing Molotov cocktails off the White House roof.
And look how beautifully she dresses and comports herself. I bet she's seething just a little bit inside. But I sense real love in the photos of them together, which makes me happy.
Maybe I'm forgetting someone in-between, but Michelle Obama is the hottest First Lady since Jackie Kennedy. She's in great shape--I don't care what they say about her butt, she looks good, she's not built skinny.
ReplyDeleteAnd she always looks like she's "all there" and not doing the Stepford zone-out.
D'accord. Completely. She is lovely. And probably one of the most stylish and smartest since Jackie, agreed.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm singing Tori's "Jackie's Strength" in my head. Jackie is also my niece so I always associated that song with her.
I have to go vacuum one more room and I'm winding down, getting ready to crash and I keep putting it off and putting it off. The stairs nearly killed me lol.
And I have to do it near the cat that's never seen a vacuum.
I feel like I should light a novena first.
Danger, Will Robinson!
