Newt Gingrich: Philanderer; Ayn Rand: Creep; John Galt: Douchebag

Newt Gingrich: Philanderer t-shirt

Like so many of the conservative "pro-marriage," "pro-family" crowd, Newt Gingrich (former speaker of the house and author of the Contract On America) has never felt like those rules applied to him. For example, when he got his first wife to sign divorce papers while she was still in the hospital recovering from chemotherapy so he could marry his mistress. Not to rest on his laurels, he cheated on his ex-mistress-now-wife DURING the Clinton impeachment hearings, in which he and his cronies tried to drive Clinton out of office with the argument that someone who cheats on his wife isn't fit to govern. You know, I might happen to agree with that statement, provided we could apply it across the board...


Ayn Rand: Creep t-shirt

Hey everybody, it's Ayn Rand, who's responsible for the farcical "political philosophy" that says that if you're rich, it must be because you're an awesome person that does wonderful things for the benefit of everyone (after first benefiting yourself). The rich are the engine that drives society, the people who work to make their money are just parasites sucking at the teat of the genius of the wealthy, and selfishness makes the world go round. No where in this "philosophy" does Rand find room to consider that self-interested profiteers might do things that hurt everyone, apparently because only socialists would do that sort of thing. Everything that sounds like socialism is evil to Rand, however. If it were up to her, we'd have to pay protection money to the fire department to guarantee they'd come save us when our houses caught fire. She's a real creep.

John Galt: Douchebag t-shirt

And John Galt, hero of Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged and idol to a bunch of idiots who hate Obama, is a total douchebag. Buy this shirt for any moron you know who's "going Galt" by, uh, not stimulating the economy? Or whatever it is they think they're doing.
