Gingrich 2012 Website Uses Kennedy Stock Photo
Well, it's not as much an outrage as it the headline makes it seem. Both campaigns used the same stock photograph from Getty Images.

1. Gingrinch is so slimy that slugs won't even crawl on him when he's passed out drunk at 2 AM.

5. Rachel hammered him in pretty spectacular fashion last night.
... she reiterated his "pay for 'awards' scam," complete with "handwritten" typefaces and giving / retracting his "nomination" for a strip club owner. Twice.

6. Thrice Married Mr. "Family Values" Candidate for president
I am embarrased that Newton Leroy is the "best" type of "policial celebrity" that my state can put forth on the national stage....


NOTE: Give us time though as we are working on some Democratic up and comers in the state legislature:
