Proper way to address former Speaker of The House |
|
What is the politically correct way to address the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich? It really irritates me when people still refer to him as Mr. Speaker.

5. It's common to refer to a politician by his last office. Senator John Edwards... |
|
...is still addressed as "Senator."

9. I looked it up, and the correct form of address in Gingrich's case is |
|
"get the fuck out of here, you fascist douchebag!" Or just "fascist douchebag" for short.

14. Mr. Hill. Mr. Benny Hill |
|
for Newt. (Did you know that Benny Hill allegedly "died" in 1993, just one short year before Newt Gingrich burst upon the national stage with the 1994 Election? :tinfoilhat:)
For the most recent former Speaker, just Mr. Hasbeentert.

19. Mr. “You can't trust anybody with power” |
|
Or, Mr. "The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument."
Or, Mr. "It is perfectly American to be wrong."
Or, Mr. "If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes."
Or, Mr. "Mr. President, we are going to run you out of town."
All quotes attributed to the former disgraced Speaker of the House forced to resign under a cloud of ethical lapses which is my preferred term for this maggot.
