New Gingrich is a big, fat, idiot

Say what you will about Al Franken, but he was the one to first say that Rush Limbaugh was a big, fat, idiot. ALong those same lines I argue that Newt Gingrich is a big, fat, idiot.

First of, he is considering running for the republican nomination for president. What kind of a big, fat, idiot American would vote for him? Oh, wait; there are a lot of big, fat, idiot Americans. Ok, so maybe NEwt is smart for running for president.

Recently NEwt Gingrich was speaking at the National Federation of Republican Women(arrggg, a hot spot to pick-up those bitchy house-wife types) and stated that we are wasting our time and money with bilingual programs and that Spanish and other non-English languages are languages of the ghetto. So everyone who speaks Spanish is poor and lives in a ghetto?? Tell that to Carlos Mencia, Penelope Cruz, and Benicio del Toro. How can someone be so ignorant as to believe and say that only poor folk speak languages other than English? HE also went on to imply that if these people spoke English they would magically rise out of the ghetto and become more productive members of society. He also wants to eliminate bilingual education programs that allow students who do not speak English learn basic skills like math in their primary language while they learn English so that they do not fall behind their peers. How are these students suppossed to learn these other skills if they are only taught in English and they do not understand English as of yet? So we will have a bunch of people who can now speak ENglish but will have no other skills like math, science, and social studies knowledge because they were taught it in English before they knew English.

These are great ideas Newt, and thanks for characterizing non-English speakers as being confined within ghettos within cities.
