...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.
