HAWKEYE DEBATE

I know the picture has nothing to do with this post,
but I always loved this NY Daily News cover from 1995

A lot has been said in the press about the recent exchange between an associate college professor and Republican presidential candidate (and douche bag) Newt Gingrich.

Honestly, it seems like a non-news item, to me.

When asked by Scott Arnold, an associate professor at William Penn University, about if elected, how Gingrich would "engage gay Americans," and "how were we to support him," the two had a brief back and forth, when eventually, Newt calmly replied "then you should be for Obama."

Gingrich is well-known to not be an avid supporter of gay rights. He is on record as not only supporting a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, but has also referred to it as "a temporary aberration that will dissipate."

Actually, Mr. Gingrich, you're the temporary aberration that will SOON dissipate.

Anyway, with that kind of rhetoric and background, I'm not sure Mr. Arnold could have expected any other answer than the one he received. In fact, I almost feel like it was a set up on Mr. Arnold's behalf that didn't quite go as planned.

Check out the video and see for yourself.
