Newt Gingrich says being without his lobbyist income is 'challenging'

Newt Gingrich says being without his lobbyist income is 'challenging'

by Jed Lewison

Newt Gingrich expects sympathy for having temporarily given up his multi-million dollar lobbying housing historian business:

During a recent interview in South Carolina, Gingrich said that ending his involvement in the health-care think tank and other businesses was difficult. He also said that if he fails to win the Republican nomination, he doesn’t know whether he will “do anything as big as the center” again.

“You know, I’ve made a good deal of my income off the speeches and off of being a commentator,” Gingrich said. “All of that went away. So it just got to be much more challenging.”

6. Maybe he could buy a bauble from Tiffany's on credit and..
turn around and sell it on eBay...quick cash.

Don't let the mrs. know about it, though..she might try to make an angry face.

12. I...uh...that is...umm...aw, fuck it!
If that isn't a "Then let them eat cake!" moment for that bloated, pompous gasbag of a pig turd, I don't know what is.

There are literally people whithout enough food to eat in this country, who do not know where their next meal is coming from, and the only thing this dirtbag worries about is not making more money in one month than the average American earns in a year.

So he can piss it away on shiny objects for the current female in his life to wear.

Newt is shallower than rhe Planck length.

14. Newt needs to take a bath then get out and get a real job
Edited on Mon Nov-21-11 05:35 AM by Raine
such as flipping burgers or greasing chicken buckets at KFC like he expects everyone else to do. Don't complain about your lack of money and expect everyone else to subsidize you ... take your own advice Newtie.
