Once Newt Gingrich traveled first-class all the way thanks to the money he was able to attract as a possible non-running Republican contender, especially in his own mind.
First Class flights weren’t good enough…no they must be chartered.
Campaigning via occasional Sunday morning news program appearances was exhausting, let’s go on a nice cruise for a few weeks.
And you certainly cannot poll in the single-digits without a little bling.
All these wise political decisions surely showed Newt was qualified a Republican. How’d that all work out?
A floundering presidential bid has fractured what was once a rock star Republican image. Not long ago, Newt Gingrich sat atop a lucrative political empire, the sought-after intellectual guru of the GOP.
Now, all but broke, he's traveling coach.
The real tragedy of this is Newt is now depriving non-wealthy people of seat-belt-extenders and complimentary bags of four small pretzels.

Kiss me Tootsie And then do it over again. Watch for the mail I never fail If you don't get a letter Then you'll know I'm in jail.
*technically, I wasn't referring to when he staged a major intellectual-guru cry fest about not being able to sit In President Clinton's lap aboard Air Force One a few years back. It was more a colloquialism....or something. But. if the whine fits......
Right on cue, the Republican Intellectual Guru goes all 3-year old, whining, throwing his peas and mashed potatoes, stomping his feet because someone asked him to clean up his room....I mean, answer a question.
No word on how long it took the socialist whambulance to arrive.

Toot, toot, tootsie, don't cry,

I hope they charge his fat ass for two seats.

I'd do almsot anything* to keep Newt in the race...I'm hoping the GOP will have a Christie-Gingrich ticket in 2012.
* Defined as: "Anything except actually giving money to either one of those fat fucks."
Go Gingrich! Go Christie!
