Jaysus! Where are the photos of the penguin attack? Where is the site a grateful public can use to contribute money to purchase herring treats for that penguin?After being bit by a penguin, Gingrich says he's the underdog
By NBC's Alex Moe
GREENSBORO, N.C. The day after Newt Gingrich was bit by a penguin at a zoo, he acknowledged he is the underdog and said his campaign began renting their donor list because they needed money.
"Money -- it is a very common reason why people rent things out, Gingrich said standing inside the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. We wanted the money.
Being roughly $4.5 million in debt has caused the Gingrich campaign to rent out their list of donors, POLITICO reported Friday.
----------------------------------
Following a tour of the NASCAR museum, Gingrich said he spoke with Santorum in St. Louis, Mo. but only briefly. (This was the same day the Speaker visited the St. Louis Zoo, was nipped by a penguin and met a tiger named Callista just like his wife, he joked to reporters.)
