Stewart: Gingrich Announced on Twitter because he wants younger, more f*ckable Media
http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/05/stewart-gingrich-announced-on-twitter-because-he-wants-younger-more-fckable-media/

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart Thursday examined former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s announcement on Twitter that he was running for the Republican nomination for president.

“This whole Twitter, YouTube thing is not going to work because you’re not cool,” Stewart said. “You’re uncool.”

“Gingrich announcing on YouTube instead of on television or a newspaper, it’s as though Newt has abandoned old media while it was sick or possibly dying to take up with newer, younger, more fuckable media,” he added.

Watch this video from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, broadcast May 13, 2011.

1. When Repukes try and "be cool to the young people"
by using the internet and such, it just makes they look like fools. "Young people" can tell when you have no fucking idea what you are doing when it comes to technology and they will make fun of you for it.

7. In 2009, when I worked on the special congressional election here in NY, Pat Boone
Made robo calls for the opposition. We all laughed, though a lot of the college age kids working on the campaign hadn't heard of him. :D We had Joe Biden. :)

4. Pretty close to the truth
but it doesn't matter. Gingrich will never be cool no matter what he tweets. He comes across as a dirty old man standing next to a young, blond and Xanaxed out wife.
