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.

2. "Rep. Scuzzbucket" is the most accurate and appropriate
appelation, according to Ms. Manners.

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

15. But he was elected by the people
Newt was elected by Repugs in the House.

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.
