...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 ****.

From what I've heard, Trump is wiggling his way to not running,
Pawlenty can't seem to get any traction, and the only other
"viable"
candidate is Bachmann.. Huntsman is waiting in the wings, but he
was
appointed Ambassador to China by Obama... not exactly right-wing
creds
there.


Huntsman is probably their only viable candidate but nobody is going
to beat Obama.

BHO IS HIS OWN WORST ENEMY.
