Callista is actually a nice looking lady at her age, when you don't select the most open-eyed pose you can find. I had a first wife who would open her eyes that wide when she was ticked. Scary stuff.
As a Newt supporter, may I suggest you fabricate a composite with Newt's face attached to the Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man? He resembeles a suited Stay Puffed Marshmellow. He's also brilliant, much smarter than you I would bet. But I don't know how to include that in the Suited Stay Puffed Marshmellow pic.

anyone can travel to Greece and discuss matters there. Even the taxi drivers will yammer on about politics.
Heck, in Greece politics is a national passtime.

True, and when you are a life long politician you have enough files hidden to make other people pay for it.

The Greeks hate the Germans. I know, I’ve been there many times. To get that feel you would have to talk to the natives there esp the old people.
I was at a Greek Island a few years back. The instruction for checking out on the back of the hotel door were in German and English, NOT Greek.
Secondly, it is Newt’s nature to be a listener contrary to what you think, that he just made up the story.

And you Palilbots rushed to Cain. How’d that work out for you? Moral of the story: Wait, observe and learn.
To: RitaOK
Either we have to choose squishy moderates with lots of experience, or ideologically pure candidates with little or no experience.You are half right Rita, We have to choose squishy moderates, because that is all that the GOP wants.

It might be under Obama’s next term. (except for him of course and his dear wife and certain people within the Democrat party and people he wants to influence)

They hate Americans too, for much the same reason: Slothful envy.
They want it all for nothing, and hate those that work for what they have.

Why in the world would you accuse me of saying Newt made up this story?
I never said such a thing, nor do I think that. Obviously, he talked to people while he was on vacation.
What I said was this gradiose spin about learning grand lessons about the global economy is both embarrassing and insulting.

Not the “just jealous” pout again.
You didn’t address my point about the spin Newt gave the vacation. I couldn’t care less that he took one and have said so.

Just how in the h.... did my post #3 in response to post #1, get blown out of proportion as in your continuous hounding about Newt taking a vacation?
I answered Post #1, do you also OPEN and answer other peoples mail?
I have no problem with NEWT and wife taking a luxury vacation, and I am not jealous of anyone who can. Wish I could.
To: SaraJohnson
Actually at this particular time I’m a Newtbot...in the not so distant past I have been a Bachbot,Perrybot and Cainbot stick around I will probably be a Palibot.

On top of the ease with which his readiness and shallow command of the issues can be challenged, Cain will be painted as the most anti-woman candidate (serial sexual harasser, no respect for women in power--'princess pelosi', no abortion in any case ever, etc.) in history.
He'll guarantee Obama's reelection, sweep Pelosi back into power and maybe increase Dem's hold on the Senate.
