http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/12/right-wing-radio-jock-offers-newt-1-million-to-drop-out.php?ref=fpnewsfeedHows this for easy money? The right wing talk show host Michael Savage has offered Newt Gingrich a cool $1 million and all the GOP frontrunner has to do is drop out within three days.
In a statement on his website, Savage says hell make the offer official on his show, and lays out (in jarring ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) his reasons that Gingrich should drop out. He runs through the usual gamut of reasons offered for Newt being an electoral disaster, including his rather unpleasant divorces, his buck-raking from Freddie and Fannie, and his stance in favor of a policy the right characterizes as amnesty.

Surely Newt will be able to eventually parlay staying in the race to much more than a mere million bucks. If Savage could raise it by an order of magnitude, he might stand a chance of getting Newt's attention. But at a mere million dollar offer, it's a case of the Good Guys laughing at Dr. Evil's unserious demand for money all over again.
