Newt is actually my middle name…my first name is Astro.
Thank goodness I finally got away from those Press Democrat caption-writers who live in their liberal North Bay bubble.
Don’t worry. I’ve already worked out the Moon colony financing. We can sell unicorn rides to leprechauns!
It isn’t the MAN in the moon…It’s the LIZARD in the moon !
The last thing I remember was having a drink with Mitt and I woke up here!
Just 12,999 more to go and you can call me Governor!
At least nobody can hear me cry in space.
I can see San Francisco from here
“With this suit on theres no chance of putting my foot in my mouth again.”
“Fly me to the Moon,
Let my campaign go as far,
Then help me send Mitt and Barack
To Jupiter and Mars”
Yabadaba newt….I’m the family guy from Washington, DC.
I said WE should establish a colony on the Moon…not just ME!
As President Pillsbury Doughboy aka King Newt, I jez wanted to let all you media negativists and idiot savants out there know that our poppin’ fresh muffins go great with bacon, fried Big Ego, and a slab o’ Green Cheese on the side. We’re gonna call it Your Quickly Disappearin’ Dough Special.
“To the moon, Callista, to the moon!”
Welcome back to the Earth Mr.Speaker…YEP they re-elected Obama ..this is all thats left
OOOh ..that last step. Now I know what DEPENDS smells like! OOOH..Amen.
Gosh darn it, I just declared the Moon our 51st state, and the Occupy Lunar-tics have already set up tents illegally in the Sea of Tranquility.
It’s NOT A Joke
I Am Going To Be President
“I swear I never lobbied for Starbucks,but soon you will find one in every crater.”
Whew!!! I’m really regretting that chili I had for lunch!
Now, over there, boys, is where the new Ritz Carlton’s goin’ in, and just beyond that, the tennis courts, swimming pool, and my baby, the Lunar Rock Golf Club.
Too grandiose? Heck, No! There’s no such thing. We’re Amerikans, right?
That’s one small step for a visionary, one giant leap of faith for venture capitalists.
Hi, I’m Newt Gingrich. Have you always dreamed of owning vacation property in an unspoiled wilderness? Well now you can! Have your credit card ready and call right now . . .
THIS newt will be the first endangered species on the moon!

“Help, I’m running out of hot air?
Hello control, it seems I’ve locked the keys inside the lunar module.Is there a hide a key or something?
That’s one small step for man…meaning Me!…and a giant leap backwards for mankind…meaning Me!
Houston we have a problem, you only gave me enough fuel to get to the moon!
To infinity and beyond, er I mean I’m king of the world!
Let’s Go To The Moon Together
Not As Republicans Or Democrats
But As A Bunch Of Blithering Idiots
My Name Is Newt Gingrich And I
Approved Of This Message
I finally bought something at Tiffany’s for myself!
Gee, this is all thats left of planet Earth since Obama took control!
Despite my appearance, I’m not actually a white elephant, but I am hoping to build one!
A Russian rocket, a Japanese mother ship, a Chinese landing craft and a boisterous American politician with visions for a settlement on the moon.
A truly international dome home.
Thanks for the ride fellas…you never know, I might find a few extra votes up here. Every little bit helps. I’m still in it to WIN it.
“I’m stepping down on the new 51st State named Callista.See, I can be a good husband.”
“President Mitt sent me up here to set up a Colony for all the grandmas he is deporting.”
They told me Fairfax California would be a stretch for me, but…
No Newt is good Newt.
I’m here for the grand opening of the Rod Blagojevich-John Edwards retirement/penal colony for political misfits.
My odds of occupying the moon are much better than my odds of occupying the White House.
I hereby declare myself President of Newtonia – now everyone come onboard for green cheese and moonshine!
Come on guy’s open the door, I was just kidding about living on the Moon!
Maybe I can find those golf balls Shepard hit up here…they should be worth a fortune!
You may say that I’m far out,
You might claim that I’m too stout,
From my wives I’ll take a hit,
but way out here I can beat Mitt!
My ex wives will never find me here!
One small step for me, one giant leap for President of the Moon!
Well I certainly didn’t plan to be here by the end of Obama’s second term!
One small step for me…. And one small step for me…
Darn, I’m too late …Pelosi, Boxer and Biden already live here!
