Newt Gingrich just came right out and put his middle finger up at the Republican debate. Asked by Megyn Kelly if he would extend unemployment benefits in this economy, he came out with this gem:

"I don't think people should get paid for 99 weeks to do nothing. That's why we reformed welfare."

Screw him with a hot poker. Hard.

His utter lack of understanding of how INSURANCE works should just be something he has to go back to school and be retrained for.

These people make me retch. Truly.
