Newt Gingrich Judges You

New York Magazine put together a slideshow today of images of Newt Gingrich "looking at people condescendingly." I think this is a bit unfair - in some of the pictures, Newt's only looking at them with mild irritation, not condescension. And he's smiling at Mother Teresa!
But Newt definitely does have a look - we all know it, ranging along the measure of disgust - which seems intent on reducing the target to a small quivering mass. It usually precedes a comment designed to do achieve the same thing: it's not just that you're wrong, it's that you should be ashamed of being wrong.
Therefore, I'd like to share this new Tumblr site with you: Newt Gingrich Judges You.
I hope you all enjoy it, and feel free to submit your suggested captions.

Newt Gingrich looks like he's judging you.
Barack Obama judges you.
Choose one.

This country has gone too da*n long without some good honest judgement.... I, for one, welcome our amphibian overlord.

Caption: "....or I will hunt you down, and beat you with my 10 point action agenda!"
I think Newt just violated the Ricochet code of conduct.

That's just what witches mean when they refer to eye of Newt.

Misthiocracy: Newt Gingrich looks like he's judging you.
Barack Obama judges you.

I'm almost prepared to vote for Newt, just for the pleasure of watching the debates. Almost.
No doubt he will judge Mr Obama a lazy failure -- a pleasant change from Mr Obama judging us as lazy.

Oh, that's good. I'd surely like to see an abased Obama after getting the Newt treatment, although maybe I'd better wish for a belittled Biden.

Another good one! CJ, you're going to writing for Rob before you know it. Comment of the day, I'll bet.
I sensed there was a joke in there somewhere too, but I couldn't corner it.
Re: Newt Gingrich Judges You
New York Magazine has a pretty elastic definition of "people." Meat on a barbecue? A laptop screen? I admit, the ape behind the glass is a closer call.

This is much funnier than those lame Chuck Norris knock-offs people were circulating about Perry.

Newt, Mitt, Herman, Obama - how's a guy with a normal name supposed to get elected these days!

You don't know me, Newt! You don't even KNOW me!

At least he's not bowing.
Or golfing while calling me lazy.

In this era of celebrity, you have truly arrived if you are widely known by a one-word moniker: Bono, Enya, Cher, Madonna, Sting, Beyonce, Elvis, Fabio, Jewel, Hammer, Moby, Oprah, Pink, Prince, Sade, Seal, Shaq, Shakira, Sinbad, Penn, Teller, Yanni--heck, even Plato, I suppose.
Therefore, I give you Newt!

"My name is a killing word" was the one that made me laugh out loud.
Newt Muad'Dib. Has a ring to it.

If a caption is too long, it's not a good caption. First picture. Caption too long.
For the very first picture, I'd submit:
"Are you done sneezing??"
Am I right or am I right?
