Newt Is Blowsy Burlesque Queen
D’ya hear that Newt Gingrich may run for President? I hadn’t either, what with all my attention consumed with Steinbrenner and Mel. Anyway, cute Newt may throw his girth into the ring, prompting James Wolcott to muse: ‘Like a stripper too conceited to hang up the tassles, even though those tassles don’t have the twirl they once did, indeed they droop like limp silver spaghetti swaying to and fro, Newt Gingrich insists on parading his tired act down the runway, exciting no one except the political pundits for whom the sheer drop of a bra strap makes their hot dogs lose control.’
