Take
Newt Gingrich...please. Disgraced, defeated and dismally wrong on Election
Night, he nonetheless pops up on the Colbert Report last night to flog a
ghost-written tome about George Washington and trade bon mots with the host.
Among
Gingrich’s gems is a denunciation of super PACs as “very destructive,” even
though money from his Las Vegas buddy Sheldon Adelson won the South Carolina
primary for him.
Colbert
himself has Super PACs on his mind as he shuts down his own while trying to
hide and keep the leftover money by shifting attention to “Ham Rove,” a canned
delicacy with eyeglasses.
“During
this time of mourning,” Colbert reports to the IRS, “we ask that you respect
our privacy, and more importantly, the privacy of our money. It wishes to stay
out of the public eye, so please don’t go trying to find it. Rest assured, you
won’t. We have a really good lawyer.”
The
2012 comedy is over, but the late night comic is still making a buck from it,
to say nothing of Newt’s squeezing a last few from the Father of Our Country.
Just when we thought he didn't have anything left to sell.
