Gee, Newt -- you'd think you would have learned it way long ago

You've had your bloated face on TV screens long enough to know the universal TV adage:


Be careful the asses you kick on the way up -- 
Same ones you'll have to kiss on the way down.


(In other words, when you come back after the people you worked with threw your nasty ass out -- it's really unlikely you'll make it if you come back in kicking asses again.)

A comment on the Republican presidential candidate wannabe's

 

Howard Luck Gossage 

He made so many witty, apt, and pithy observations that he often gave credit for his quotes to other people.


He died in 1969 and made the following comment at dinner in 1963, but it's exactly the same comment he might make today looking at the lineup of Republican wannabe's  (actually, he'd probably make a wittier comment, but since he's not here, this will have to serve):

Look at the Names -- Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachmann, Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman, Tim Pawlenty... and I can see him sitting there, looking over his reading glasses and saying about any one of them: 


"That man is trying to work his way up 
  to being a horse's ass...
  But he hasn't got what it takes."


(Except for Ms Bachmann, of course, in which case it would be

"That woman is trying to work her way up ... But she hasn't got what it takes."
