::: VIDEO ::: of Newt on Hannity and Colmes - Is he trashed? You decide.

[Coexist]

We discussed this here last night.

Is he or isn't he? Check out the clip at Crooks and Liars and let me know what you think.

I googled Newt Stroke and nothing came up that indicates he had one.

1. He had either been drinking or he has come down with an illness.

[Kingshakabobo]

4. Three choices.

1. drunk
2. Stroke
3. Just ate a glass full of ice.

Even though that is how I sound after eating ice cubes, I vote for drunk.

2. Did he have dental work done earlier in the day?

If not, bombed outta his flippin mind

[BrklynLiberal]

3. He does sound l ike he has had some sort of neurological incident.

9. Dr. Frist? n/t

[Coexist]

10. Very funny! eom

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Maybe he was diagnosed via videotape andthat is why the results are so bad

[spinbaby]

5. Not too bad

Bush* is far more slurred and incoherent.

6. First, a disclaimer--

I never, ever watch FAUX, however, last night I was searching for reactions to the Harris/* poll numbers and I saw this bit.
I have spent a fair amount of time imbibing, as well as working as a standup, singer, and musician in bars. Although his eyes did not look like drunk, his speech, mannerisms, and difficulty thinking through complex concepts spelled drunk as a skunk.

7. Totally plotched!!

Evidence: First he's slurring, second, he's telling the truth. It sounded like * had had a few in the first clip too :) .

Edited to fix my bungled smiley--I've had too many diet pepsi's it seems!!!

11. Nah that's just Newt being Newt. He has always been a mush mouth.

[shain from kane]

13. Maybe he just had sex. Or was receiving sex. But, of course, that kind

of sex isn't sex, is it? Can be traced back to The Bible. Sometime B.C.(Before Clinton)

[yellowcanine]

14. Correct, Newt did not consider "knob polishing" to be sex.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. He was drunk. He was also right on.

I suppose when a Republican partisan like Newt Gingrich gets to the point where he can no longer defend the behavior a Republican administration, we should allow him the privilege of getting smashed before he says so publicly. I must have eased the pain.

[madmark]

15. agreed

[Gato Moteado]

16. how do you get a repuke to tell the truth?

give him a few drinks first.

no wonder they made bush stop drinking.

by the way, why did the video end just as bushtard hannity was about to question the sloshed newt?

[MazeRat7]

17. Well without a BAL test we will never know... but here are my top 3

1) Drunk as a sknuk before going on
2) Root Canal earlier in the day
3) Stroke in the past months
