Gingrich Is The Dancing Queen
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2011/05/newt-gingrich-hearts-his-abba-ringtone

Gingrich's secret passion for ABBA was revealed when his cell phone suddenly rang during a campaign stop in Iowa, where he has been trying to launch a presidential campaign.

"Dancing Queen," Gingrich sheepishly admitted, is his ringtone...


...The ABBA revelation comes at the end of what's been a disastrous week for the controversial conservative.

Gingrich caught hell from his own party after calling GOP Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare-cutting budget plan "right-wing social engineering." He later apologized.

Also, two embarrassing videos of Gingrich went viral this week. In one, Gingrich was berated by an angry Iowa Republican, who blasted him as an "embarrassment to our party." In the other, a gay rights activist showered sparkly confetti over his head.

Earlier, Gingrich was also branded a racist for calling President Obama a "food stamp president."

Queen...

3. It's Not the ABBA...
that will bring the campaign to a halt. It will end because he has no intention of actually running.

I know, I know, he's announced and he's running around spouting off in the right placed (even if he's not saying the right things). For Newty, it's all about selling books. He needs to get to at least one heavily watched and analyzed debate before he'll bow out and get this credit card machine up and running as the righty lemmings will line up to read what their "genius" (or rather his ghost writer) has to say.

This is Newty's part of the agreement...bring in the customers, baby. There's one born every minute.

8. He stated once that his own were cannibals. Ummm, he forgot? He jumped in with his guts left in the
training room? Sorry, just check him into a rubber room.

9. Wow. DraftDodger Newtie, the Republicon 'Front Runner,' is soooo 70s
what a pack of retrograde losers...

No wonder Americans groan when Republicons demonstrate how, um, 'hip' they are.
