Jim Newell · 07/06/11 11:17AMNewt Gingrich Asks, 'Who Got The Money?'
Jim Newell · 06/22/11 01:46PMSo this, this is what a web video for a presidential campaign with no money looks like: Get out the video camera, Metro over to the Federal Reserve for a couple of exterior shots, Metro back to some closet you rent out as an office, and babble about a Federal Reserve audit that already has plenty of support in Congress with or without a once-in-a-century intellectual force like Newt Gingrich as the driving force behind it.
Gingrich Had Second, $1 Million Line of Credit at Tiffany's
Max Read · 06/21/11 08:52PMWe all know that broke, friendless presidential candidate Newt Gingrich loves Tiffany & Co enough to have held a $250,000 - $500,000 credit account at the high-end jeweler. But did you know he loves the place so much he had a second, $500,000 - $1 million line of credit? And also he dyed his hair Tiffany blue?
Newt Gingrich's Top Finance Aides Quit over Lack of Finance
Jim Newell · 06/21/11 01:57PMNewt Gingrich still had some presidential campaign staffers after 16 of his top aides quit en masse a couple of weeks ago. It only takes a few, right? Perhaps. But his top campaign finance advisers just quit too, so he really should end his campaign and take whatever few dollars remain to pay himself a PAC salary for a few months.

Newt Gingrich Doesn't Need Your Help, 'Traditional Consulting Community'
Jim Newell · 06/10/11 12:37PMNewt Gingrich, outsider candidate for president, addressed reporters at his decidedly inside-the-Beltway home in McLean, Virginia this morning, regarding yesterday's hilarious mass quitting of 16 top staffers. No, he's not ending his campaign, you amoral leeches. In fact yesterday's implosion was quite liberating! Now he can run the brilliant, innovative campaign he's always wanted, freed from the calcified constraints of the "traditional consulting community."

Jim Newell · 06/03/11 02:06PMHow Did Newt Gingrich Get Such a Sweet Deal at Tiffany's?
Jim Newell · 05/25/11 12:21PMPerhaps the opposition researchers who dumped that story about Newt Gingrich's $250,000-$500,000 "revolving charge account" at Tiffany & Co. only wanted people to make fun of his gilded lifestyle, but it also raises more concrete, scandalous questions. Namely: Why would Tiffany's give the Gingriches a no-interest credit account?
Why Fellow Republicans Are So Furious at Newt Gingrich
Jim Newell · 05/20/11 12:09PMNewt Gingrich's trashing of Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare privatization plan on last Sunday's Meet the Press sparked a united Republican revolt against him, one much worse than anything the left is capable of doing to its own. All but four House Republicans had voted for Ryan's plan a matter of weeks ago, after all, and they're not keen on hearing internal dissent voiced in such places as Sunday morning's top political talk show, during the launch of a campaign.
John Lithgow Gives Newt Gingrich's Press Release the Dramatic Reading It Deserves
Matt Cherette · 05/19/11 11:21PMDid you catch yesterday's ridiculous press release by Newt Gingrich's waning presidential campaign? Stephen Colbert wasn't prepared to give the statement a dramatic reading—"I don't think I've got it in me to convey the epic genius of this verbal spanking"—but luckily actor John Lithgow did have it in him, and on tonight's Report, he delivered.

Newt Gingrich's Spokesman Releases Greatest Statement Ever
Jim Newell · 05/18/11 02:53PMSure has been a shit week for Newt Gingrich! The presidential candidate, for whom we're coming dangerously close to feeling sympathy, has been attacked from the left for stupid racist murmurs, from the right for hurting Rep. Paul Ryan's fee-fees, and from some guy with a glitterbomb, just because. Also, his Tiffany's expenses are now public information. Tiffany's, shoppe of the silvered class? Well, his personal jewelry charge account isn't really pertinent, but laugh if it makes you other debt-enslaved psychopaths feel good.

Max Read · 05/17/11 08:13PMHaven't you always dreamed of seeing Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich awash in in the twinkling light of party glitter? Now you can, thanks to gay activist Robert Erickson, who glitter-bombed Gingrich at a Minneapolis book signing on Tuesday night.
