He's not running for President, he's scamming conservatives.

Rachel Maddow exposes Newt Gringrich's "shampaign". It's pretty clear he's not running for office, simply scamming his supporters out of every dollar he can.

Interesting how his donations are all paid to his consulting company. His speeches focus on hawking his books and movies. He's a "one man book and DVD machine."


With guest Steve Kornacki. Runs 17:25.

1. So many books will be written about the fraud era we are living in.

Is there NO place in this country that is not fraudulent...it is overwhelming.

[babydollhead]

18. it is so out of hand.

In our home, we do as much good in this world as we are able all day, until we crawl into bed and sleep untroubled sleep. Never fearing the knock on our door at midnight. I don't know how this will all balance out.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

2. Saw it! Great piece.

[B Calm]

3. LOL. .

But then, I think everyone of the republican clowns running are scamming. . .

[Motown_Johnny]

14. agreed (for the most part)

I think Bachmann is just trying to be the next Palin/Huckabee and her plan is to win Iowa then get FAUX to give her a show before she starts selling ghost written books.

4. He's a "one man book and DVD machine."

The Michael Moore of the right...?

[arcane1]

6. What does that mean?

I don't recall Moore ever scamming anyone :shrug:

[Vinnie From Indy]

7. Care to explain?

Or, is this just the typical hit and quit it post?

on edit: If there is one thing as certain as the sun rising in the East, it is the sad, pathetic attempts by righties at subtlety. Your post is a monument to that phenomena.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. I think it went back under its bridge.

This is a very consistent (and annoying) example of the species.

10. Michael Moore is not running for President.

Nor, is he pretending to be. And, he's a filmmaker, so it's his damn job to sell DVDs.

15. that doesn't make any sense at all, Newt was Speaker of the House

2nd in line to the Presidency and he is now running for President


Michal Moore is a film maker


Just because Moore is smarter than Newt doesn't mean it is fair to compare someone who is undoubtedly in the entertainment business with someone who is running for President

22. Enjoy your stay.

And you are neither.

5. Thats what I've said all along

sister sarah isn't in the run I know but she was doing the same thing

[OneGrassRoot]

8. Same for Cain, imho. Same for Palin and so many other "almost rans." n/t

[mwb970]

17. Fleecing the rubes.

And these rubes are SO easy to fleece. They seem to have no standards or ability to think for themselves. Sad, sad rubes.

[Ilsa]

9. GOPers are so gullible.

If someone waves a flag and tells them they love Jesus, then they hang on every word and give them their last dollar while their neighbor's kids go hungry.

[GoCubsGo]

12. Yep, and I dare say.

Some of them give them their last dollar while their own kids go hungry. Got to wonder if these suckers ever catch on that the GOP has no intention of ending abortion or any of those other hot-button things they campaign on decade after decade.

[sendero]

11. One could probably say that.

... about more than half of the Rep contenders.

[The Wizard]

20. Shameless huckster (NT)

[Gamow]

23. Which candidate would the title NOT apply to?

Just Bachmann, and then only because of the pronoun.

[Scuba]

24. Actually, I'm pretty sure she's plays the male in that family. n/t

[Merlot]

25. Could just as easily be said about cain

maybe even perry...who knows what he's thinking?? not even perry himself most likely.

[XemaSab]

26. It's yet another symptom of our diseased society

Half of the things that people set out to do are not sincere.

Sarah Palin's another one like that... she makes like she wants to be a Big Deal, but she'd really rather get paid for being a personality than get paid for being a public servant.

[applegrove]

27. "The marketplace" of the presidential campaign is making the GOP look like a bunch of fools. Good.
