Newt Gingrich Living the High-Life on Right-Wing Suckers’ Dime

Newt is just the latest con with a political org that rakes in donations by stoking anti-Obama fear and uses the money tofeather his own nest.

His flagship political operation, a tax-exempt conservative group called American Solutions for Winning the Future, has spent at least $2.2 million over the past two years on private jets and executive chauffeur services.

Overall, the group has spent nearly all of the $20 million it has raised over that period on administrative and travel expenses.

Tyler said the group has been effective in spreading a conservative message and has built a network of more than a million supporters, in part due to Gingrich’s grueling travel schedule.

Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, said the spending pattern is a ‘very good indication of a kind of self-promotion engine,’ adding that it will be ripe for scrutiny if Gingrich jumps back into politics.

Don’t hold your breath to see this story on Fox News. Heh.
