Newt Gingrich: Still a Huge Ass

Even with a broken ankle (does this bitch rock climb or something?) Diane Rehm is going to kick Newt Gingrich's ass!



Now there are many many reasons one might want to do that, but Mrs. Rehm has a special one: the motherfucker HUNG UP ON HER during an interview on her show.

...

I'm just as shocked as you. Honestly! Hung up! On Diane Rehm!

Ever the graceful dame, Diane had only this to say,

"I am most dissapointed, in fact I am angry because we were told that we would talk about his book, we would talk about issues before the public. I'm just going to open the phones. But I must say people have asked me before, do you ever get angry? I'm angry now because we were told Speaker Gingrich would be on the full hour."

The callers were not so gracious though, and Newt was given a thorough public tongue lashing in absentia. Listen for yourself, the action begins around minute 33. And when you're through, we'll talk about getting together that lynch mob, lest this villain be allowed to commit such perfidy against our good, decent women again!

Get Rehmed




Diane Rehm is back! What an auspicious begining to my tenure here at HypePipe.


Good evening Greensboro, my name is Patrick Tutwiler. I enjoy camping,



protesting,



and watersports (OMG not like that!).




And you might recognize me from WUAG's The Talk Show with Patrick Tutwiler airing Wednesday nights at 9:00, or from my hilariously popular, if shortly lived, blog, The Greensborian. But now the sweet folks at the Pipe have offered me an attractive signing bonus and full health-care coverage in exchange for my contributions as Chief Political Correspondant. Woot!

Thus my very first story for you, Greensboro, in my new capacity here at HypePipe, is that of the travails suffered by NPR's most beloved radio personality, Dr. Diane Rehm. Now Diane, like Dolly Parton in Straight Talk, may or may not be a real doctor, but she fills our perscription for truth every morning and we love her for it. But recently, Diane has been sick with bird flu. (Fuck you China.) Not only that,
but she also accidentally poured perfume on her eye ball. (Fuck you China.) She's been gone for a whole month because she's 70 and these kinda things can really take it out of you when you're THAT old. In her stead, several guest hosts, including Katty Kay of the BBC





and that woman from USAToday, and some other people have been holding her time slot together.

No more! As of today, she's back. But her speech in Cincinnati on March 27th has been postponed.

Oh well, it's just Cincinnati.
