[netforce0]

wheres my guns and religion? YEEEHAAW i wanted to vote republican....boo hoo i;ll have to go have sex wit ma sister again..... YEEEHAAAAAAWWWWWWW PALIN 2012

[facelessno1]

@netforce0 Isn't it kind of ironic that with a comment like that you are trying to insinuate that Republicans are ignorant? Frankly at this point I'm questioning if you are intelligent enough to responsibly vote, and unless your comments are relevant to herps, I suggest you spew them elswhere.

[netforce0]

@facelessno1 i was making fun of white people in my area, a lot of it was inside jokes and what i find personally funny... but hey if you are offended by a silly youtube comment go fuck yourself

[facelessno1]

@facelessno1 Why would you make in inside joke in the most public place. I'm far from offended by your stereo type so you can go fuck yourself, idiot.

[melissa10474]

I love Maddow and Newts. Not Newt, though.

[otterwoman]

@melissa10474 I am so with you on that! That's why I'm so thrilled they used my video to link to. They couldn't have found a more sympathetic newt owner.

[otterwoman]

@otterwoman They could have chosen a better newt video though!

[OakFoSho]

@Maddow

[Mavarin]

I'm here because of Rachel, and because these newts are cute. But also, they look like the red-backed salamanders I used to catch under rocks in Manlius NY as a kid. Time to research amphibians! :)

[otterwoman]

@Mavarin These are marbled newts, native to Spain and around there.

[raingermedia]

thanks rachel!

[MsCactusWren]

Hiiiiii Rachel!

[sezzyg]

DAMN YOU RACHEL MADDOW!!

[clayd531]

Thanks to Rachael Maddow for giving us all this link on her MSNBC show

[CircusofPython]

So...Rachel Maddow brought me here. Yeah.

[otterwoman]

@CircusofPython

Can someone explain all these Rachel Maddow references...did she put this link on her show or something?

[ndchriste]

@otterwoman Someone is redirecting "explorenewt2012" a play on "newtexplore2012" here. The latter being a Newt Gingrich fund-raising website.

[otterwoman]

@ndchriste That's really cool!! Thank you.

[ndchriste]

@otterwoman all dot com websites

[DaleHusband]

@otterwoman I just saw what Maddow was talking about: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrinch and whether or not he will someday run for President.

[MsCactusWren]

@otterwoman

Yes. Apparently "explorenewt2012(dot)com", which is supposed to be a Newt Gingrich site about his considering running for President, is redirecting to here.

[Phantommkll]

@otterwoman well one of the republicans who is trying to get money for presidential running(if he is) had a site which redirects to another site, it seemingly changed to this video... but hey more views for you!

[youstink14]

@otterwoman She mentioned it on her television show.

[Arcian23]

So which one of these newts is exploring a 2012 bid? Oh, I almost forgot, hi Rachel. <3

[MegRamseyWebseries]

Aaaaaah, Rachel Maddow said that typing in newt2012 would lead me to this. She's the bomb!!! Oh Newt? He's a piece of shit. The Teabaggers got nuthin'!

[prider57]

OMG! The former Speaker of the House has turned into a lizard!

[meehee45]

@prider57 oh he was that way the whole time...

[prider57]

@meehee45 Yeah, though now he looks even slimier!

[meehee45]

@prider57 haha - thank God he'll never actually run for president, I don't think America has enough of a stomach for that...

[jessesublett]

Beats the hell out of Newt Gingrich. Thanks, Rachel!

[ciscornBIG]

Raise your hand if you're here from TRMS!!!!

[meehee45]

just got directed here by Rachel Maddow (=

oh Rachel...

[jessesublett]

Beats the hell out of Newt Gingrich. Thanks, Rachel!

[707ismyareacode]

at least these newts don't talk

[Rodney92]

What in hell has this got to do with Newt as our next President?!!!

[TheDrewK82]

Rachel Maddow brought me here....... and I'm a guy.

[gcooper1365]

Such presidential animals, Newts are! Tip of the hat to the misdirection! Betcha this prank will make Gingrich so mad, he'll cheat on his wife for it!

[blubot89]

doesn't look as slimy as Newt Gingrich.

[Brian07891]

Ha HA ... Newt Gingrich ..that guy

[ka137]

I wonder if that large Newt mates for life and is monogamous.

Have same sex pairings ever been observed with these animals? I wonder if that same large Newt would ever attempt to limit the ability of same sex newts to pair. I mean he'd have to be at least 100% faithful or he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Do Newt legs grow back though, cause they'd sort of have to in that Newt ever wanted to run for President... of Newts. ;)

[mayerli5]

where did u got them.....it was a shop or what?

[ikswotianop]

i have a cabbnet style terrarium from exo-terra and most of the time it is under a rock i just put the food in with it instead of taking him out

[otterwoman]

I don't feed them that way anymore. I had just gotten them and I wanted to make sure they were eating.

[rcooper95]

how much were they???

[otterwoman]

I think they were around $40 or $45, I got them a few years ago. They don't come on the market too often.

[duth67]

where can I buy them?

[PANDAzPETz]

love those newts.but do u keep them in there?!??! do they need a filter?

[otterwoman]

They live in a 15 gallon tank with an air bubbler, and lots of places to hide.

[Slam54102]

can they "only" live in water?

[otterwoman]

Yes, they are aquatic amphibians.

[Slam54102]

[amanimale]

[MattyMadeley]
