UPenn Students Mildly Inhospitable to Newt Gingrich

The editorial board of The Daily Pennsylvanian is extremely disappointed with its fellow students! You see, "A group of students stormed out of Irvine Auditorium in protest while [Newt] Gingrich was still speaking. One of them shouted as he left." HOW UNCOUTH. What's more? Someone called him a "salamander" and "some students hung posters of the politician’s face and some of his controversial quotes on doors of bathroom stalls and above urinals." What in the world is going on at UPenn that these children are so remarkably measured and polite in their demonstrations against a visiting antisocial fraud-adoring grifter?

Fkn millenials with their "new niceness."

Way to be in denial of your milleniality. Just like a millenial to pretend not to be one.

Fkn nice millenials with their "new niceness."

Fixed.

The Wharton students who stayed to fellate Newt also protested by refusing to tickle his balls.

Also, is salamander an insult now? I'm on board if it is, I just never heard it slung before.

Yes what is "salamander" please?? (Can he go in a fire? I doubt it.)

I think it's a play on "newt"

dikwad (#2,308)

Oh, I get it. Those Penn kids are clever. Still…it's an insult?

Now I feel so silly.

Perhaps their behavior was actually a warm attempt to make him feel like he was back in Congress?

If I ever see Newt Gingrich on the subway at the 2-3 Fulton Street station I will have a strategically-placed accomplice distract him while I bump into him and pick his pocket. Someone has to show these kids how things are done.

All he tweets about are his 'films', Ronald Reagan, and going to the pancake house with Callista. It's not interesting at all, but I can't stop following.

Does anyone want to complain about UPenn kids in general? Because god, UPenn kids, am I right?

caw_caw (#5,641)

You can count on me for that

Much as I loathe Penn kids, one of them did get off a good question about Newt's moral high horse in light of the affair he had with his current wife (third in a series).

In my day, we had to throw rotten vegetables at evil speakers… and we liked it!
