“Fighting cacophobia”?
That still leaves “caca-phobia”!
Ted, I thought you were above attacking physical looks! You yourself said that it is absurd to attack what a person looks like and acts like on a personal level, when you have their policies to attack.
@Patron: You are, of course, absolutely right. But even I have my limits. Newt is unbelievably hideous.
Cacophobia, great!! But it’s not like everybody and his uncle didn’t already know he was going to get Georgia. It’s as far as the repelling creature will advance, though.
I guess this is another symptom of the new corps are people Super-Pac corruption – with all that money behind them, they won’t stop when normally, they might have run out of funds to keep on lying and whining.
On balance, Newt got off easy.
For point of comparison, let’s consult the Ted Rall Hate Scale, i.e., Things That Ted Rall Hates The Most (1 = least hated, 10 = most hated):
1. General stupidity
2. Fluorescent bulbs
3. Newt Gingrich
4. Windows OS
5. Breitbart’s rotting corpse
6. Rush Limbaugh
7. Murderers
8. Rapists
9. The Black Plague
10. Ann Coulter
(Okay, I don’t recall Ted ever writing about the Black Plague. As for murderers and rapists, that pretty much covers the Bush years — yes, and Obama too.)
Go, Newton Leroy !…

your depiction of newt really doesn’t look that different from a depiction of Edward Kennedy to me
