Newt's Bejeweled Folly

Newt Gingrich, the Republican Party's first kamikaze candidate, has not merely stuck his thumb in the eye of the GOP's TEA Party wing and offended the large conservative base, but he has reflected that in his personal spending he is equally frivolous with a half a million dollar revolving credit line at high end jeweler Tiffany. Gingrich no longer seems an able competent manager and certainly not the right person to apply the coming austerity that will be necessary to contain the multi-trillion dollar Federal deficit and national debt. CBS used to be known as "the Tiffany network" for its excellence, but Gingrich, who has already torpedoed himself, will never become the "Tiffany President".
