Pisses me off when the rich say things like this. Not only does it imply that the rich work harder than the poor - they don't, an overwealming majority of the rich are rich because they were born into a well off family and attended excellent educational institutions. Entreponeurs make up a tiny amount of the wealthy.
It's also impossible. Our economy generates a certain amount of wealth, not everyone can be millionaires.

Idiotic twit. Plenty of people work their asses off and take risks to try to raise themselves up to the next highest class, but just don't get lucky as that cow did.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Is this your first day on the internet? The web is an equal opportunity attack animal...
Not to mention that Newt's weight is often commented on in any discussion of him. Same for Rush. Same for any number of other infamous males of portly stature.
Extreme physical characteristics are OFTEN the subject of any discussion of an infamous individual regardless of sex: Sharpton's hair, Tyson's lisp, Michael jackson's voice, etc., etc.
Comedians, satarists, impersonators, political cartoonists, etc. all focus on these features on a regular basis as well.
Doesnt make it right, but it happens regularly to males and females.

Don't worry, if Newt was relevant anymore I'd be viciously attacking him, too.

You mean Kate Upton? She has a small roll around the middle that's not really noticeable unless you want to get really nit picky. Only negative thing you could say about her appearance that I would agree with is that lacks any muscle tone and looks soft. If you seriously think she's fat...
