Bush & Company

Regarding two current GOP presidential candidates, both notably self-contradictory, Mr. Romney is bent on being president, but Mr. Gingrich may deliberately sabotage his campaign, which already bears the seeds of its own destruction.

Newt's the mayor of Flipfloptown---
If he were king he'd wear a crown,
A yakker who has no objection
To speaking fact or pure invention.

With millions raised and millions spent,
Mitt aims to be the president
While that deceitful Newt instead
Is in it mainly for the bread.

Once GOP speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich said he and his third wife are a "frugal" couple, yet it's been discovered that they had a Tiffany bill, now paid, between $250,000 and $500,000 on what Newt explained was a "standard no-interest account." Coincidentally maybe, a former Gingrich staffer is currently employed by Tiffany.

"Callista and I have paid off our house, we have paid off our cars, we run four small businesses, we happen to be successful." He emphasized that they live within their budget, have no debts except the mortgage on a rental property in Wisconsin and "don't do elaborate things."

Perhaps to deflect attention from the frivolous impression cast by the Tiffany revelation, he sanctimoniously scolded the media for "gossip" replacing "serious policy."

Mr. Gingrich and his wife
Live a very frugal life;
They're a normal married pair,
Their expenses almost nil,

Just one house, the mortgage paid
And the cupboards nearly bare;
One might say they're almost poor;
Maybe they're on Medicaid. . .

So one has to wonder how
They could spare 500 thou.
What their Tiffany bill was for
That sly Newtster just won't tell.
