Disgraced former House Speaker and Internet tubes hipster Newt "Poot" Gingrich will be announcing he's a candidate for the Rethuglican nomination for President via Facebook and Twitter (=crickets chirping=). Poot, whose third wife Callista is also his former aide, consistently registers in the single digits in Rethug voter preference polls and, significantly, has had problems raising funds for his putative ("poot-ative"?) campaign. He is bound to get some buzz, however, from the Very Serious People we've been talking about recently, since his rep is as a Rethuglican Deep Thinker (an oxymoron if we ever heard one).
Good luck, Poot! Spend as much money in a doomed cause as you possibly can! And let's have some of those Deep Tweets in 140 characters or less!
