Gingrich open to serving in Trump's Cabinet

By Rebecca Savransky

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Sunday said he'd be open to serving in presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's administration.

"I would certainly serve with the president, preferably in a position that he and I would work out," Gingrich said on CBS's "Face the Nation" when asked if he'd be interested in serving in Trump's Cabinet.

Gingrich, who was a top contender to serve as Trump's running mate, said he wasn't disappointed that the presumptive GOP nominee chose Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Trump announced on Friday that Pence would join his ticket.

"I think Pence is a great choice. I feel very close to Donald and his family," Gingrich said on Sunday.

"I'm confident that I'll have plenty of opportunities to try to help plan things and try to help move things forward."

Trump said previously during a rally that Gingrich would be "involved with our government" in some way.

Newt wants to be a pirate:

Modern day pirates murder, steal, rape and enslave people. Did Newt choose "pirates" intenionally?

I'd guess he is bucking for Chief of staff

This was in a footnote to the Starr Report, back during the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. I thought it sounded appropriate here:

316. In a recorded conversation, Ms. Lewinsky recounted part of this discussion: [H]e said, “I promise you,” you know, something like, “if I win in November, I’ll have you back like that. You can do anything you want. You can be anything you want.” And then I made a joke and I said, “Well, can I be Assistant to the President for Blow Jobs?” He said, “I’d like that.”

Put Newt in charge of deporting the 2.5 million Muslims. A job after his own heart.

I can't stand Newt personally, but I do think he would be pretty good in that job.

Newt's a free lancer. He'd be spouting his own policy in that position, creating chaos.

Newt would be good at that. Is it a Cabinet Level position or more of a behind the lectern in a crouching position?

I guess Fox must not be paying much for propaganda these days. Perhaps they went to TOS and found that people will do that mindless task for free and even donate for the privilege.

In other news Christie and Carson also want some of that taxpayer funded lucre.

Civil "service," I would think.

Anybody who thinks they will have direct access to Donny Boy is a fool. Newtie will be answering to one of Trump's mouth breathing, moronic punk kids.
