...today's political giggle...

Newt Gingrich, the architect behind the 1994 Republican
revolution,
officially announced he's running for president via Twitter.

Gingrich, a former House speaker, is the first major
candidate to
declare a run for president with a tweet.

Gingrich's biggest problem may be baggage, both political
and personal.
He resigned from Congress in 1998 after his party suffered
massive
midterm losses, and amid a barrage of ethics complaints.

It later came out that he'd been having an affair with a
staff member,
Callista Bisek, while leading the impeachment proceedings
against
Clinton for allegations of perjury in the Paula Jones
sexual harassment
civil case and in Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Gingrich
married Bisek in 2000, making her his third wife.

Gingrich has been divorced twice, explaining his
infidelities to the
Christian Broadcasting Network as triggered by passion for
his country:

"There's no question that at times in my life, partially
driven by how
passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far
too hard and
that things happened in my life that were not appropriate,"
Gingrich
said.

Another family values republican and the conservative
nominee for
husband of the year.
"partially driven by how passionately I felt about (****ing)
this
country."

He will endure a ****storm of coverage and he'll use all of
it to line
his own pockets with campaign cash.

****ing scum.

I just *love* the emerging Republican field. The Donald, The
Newt, The
Michele, The Pawlenty...what a bag full of ****.
Why do I sense fleabagger fear....could it be...

Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...
Obama's gonna...LOSE!!!

It's directly from the DNC... Anyone who runs on the republican
side
gets smeared, it's the way progressives work...


Gingrich smeared himself, dumb boy.

I guess being disciplined for ethics violations, paid $300K, then
resigning (aka doing a Palin) isn't such a big deal for wackos.


Leaving his then present wife for another woman while she's in the
hospital suffering from cancer.


Vermin.

You will be hard pressed to find a politician who hasn't behaved like
slime from time to time.
