Lawrence O’Donnell’s New Obsession: Newt Gingrich’s Tiffany’s Bill

Turns out there is life after Trump for The Last Word, though that doesn’t mean Lawrence O’Donnell‘s “Rewrite” segment was any less gilded. Today’s shiny objects, literally, are unknown, as Newt Gingrich won’t reveal what they are– namely, the items that rang him up a five-digit bill at Tiffany’s. O’Donnell has taken with enthusiasm to the mystery of Gingrich’s jewelry purchases, anointing the “what did you buy?” question “the must-ask question for any reporter.”

Praising CBS’ Bob Schieffer for not backing down from the question and getting Gingrich to tell him to “go ask Tiffany’s” what he bought, O’Donnell was keen on figuring out what could be so embarrassing that Gingrich would want to hide it. “The most important question for any politician is always the question he most doesn’t want to answer,” he noted, and as such Gingrich himself gave the bill importance. O’Donnell recalled (and replayed) the famous clip of a defeated Richard Nixon telling the press in 1962, “you won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.” Nixon, he argued, was precisely the reason “it is important we kick around politicians like Nixon as much as possible whenever we have the chance.”

O’Donnell didn’t venture a guess at what was on the bill, though encouraged viewers to send suggestions, adding that “no, Tiffany’s does not have a sex toys department.” His choice of clip as an example of a good guess, however, was telling: Stephen Colbert suggesting Gingrich buys engagement rings “in bulk.”

There are obvious reasons for many on the right to be publicly indignant with Gingrich’s bill. For a politician, he has a train wreck of a life story– three marriages, the only successful one the product of an affair. The mystery purchases could very well be linked to said moral detriment in the psyche of those that consider private failings public fair game. Yet most of these tend to be on the right, the standard “family values” conservative. Liberals, for the most part, seem to have let the Tiffany’s bill fall by the wayside, instead focusing on the fact that Republicans seem to deplore him generally and the fact that he had a box of glitter dumped on him in public. Lawrence O’Donnell is the most prominent exception, and it has much to do with his personal perceptions of morality, at least in the way they are reflected in his program (O’Donnell routinely reminds his audience that it is impossible to convey himself– or anyone– authentically over television).

Lawrence O’Donnell is, in his own strange way, a social conservative, the major difference being what does or does not constitute “family values” to O’Donnell rarely aligns with the term as commonly used. Virtue and morality are a common theme on O’Donnell’s program: helping the needy, being forthright in one’s personal life, sticking with family no matter what their immutable characteristics. O’Donnell may have an entirely different values system from, say, Rick Santorum– who values self-reliance, devout faith, and public restraint about one’s private life, among other things– but he will hold an “immoral” person to his standard of the good life as strictly as Santorum would to his.

Donald Trump was such a focal point of the Last Word‘s narrative precisely because Trump was an immoral man in O’Donnell’s eyes. He routinely revels in committing the gravest of sins in O’Donnell’s worldview: avarice. Being a socialist, O’Donnell has demonstrated time and again he believes greed is something to be reviled universally, regardless of whether anyone is individually hurt or where the money fueling the avarice comes from. For more socially libertarian commentators, Gingrich’s Tiffany’s shopping spree may be nothing but a comical footnote– no tax money, no harm, no foul. But because the fiscal gluttony is a sin in and of itself, anyone who is guilty of it, independent of its relevance to their career, is a potential target for O’Donnell’s Rewrite.

Newt’s wife is 45 and beautiful…what does No Lip Crazy Larry THINK he was buying at Tiffany’s?

Apparently it sucks to be Mrs. Crazy Larry.

Who on Earth would have a tough time figuring this one out. Multimillionaire buys wife $500k worth of jewelry. This is unusual or sinister or something? Shouldn’t Larry be tearing apart Newt’s flip flops, or policy or ,you know, something relevant to his run for the presidency?

The bill was her bill. Even that the left can’t get right. Anything but issues — they can’t talk about issues because Obama is toast on issues so lets discuss their look, bills, houses, anything but the important stuff.

Carl stated so tonight on Hannity. He also warned that whoever wins the nomination is going to subjected to the ugliest most vile smear campaign by Obama’s men, because this record is worse than dismal.

If Newt’s wife likes jewelry and he can afford to pay the bill, buy her jewelry. What the hell is the big deal.

Lets see….. spending $250-500k on jewelry that is probably still worth $250k-500k compared to……spending 10s or 100s of thousands to keep from showing a $10 document that he ended up supposedly showing anyways? Now theres economic brilliance. No wait… he majored in constitutional law not economics. He’s apparently not very good at that either.
felixw

The more inconsequential the story, the more likely MSNBC will cover…provided it allows the host to play gotcha with a conservative. MSNBC hosts won’t even whisper any news about unemployment, the national debt, etc. They are too busy practicing character assassination. That’s their specialty and they stick to it, rain or shine. Too bad that next year’s election will be determined by all the key issues that they try to hide. You know, stuff Lawrence O’Donnell pretend doesn’t exist, like the economy and jobs.

ABC News has confirmed Newt and Callista Gingrich held up to half a million dollars in debt with Tiffany and Co., known for its high end jewelry, in 2005 and 2006.

It might be your mortgage. It isn’t mine (don’t have one). Just because you are not in that league, someone elses bill for any purchase is none of your business just as it isn’t mine.

Let’s stick to issues – not what brand of toilet paper one uses. That is just silly and trying to take the focus away from where it should be.

Is it your contention all presidential candidates should not buy their spouses jewelry? Or is it Newt should have known in 2006 that he may run for President and some flake would chastise him for buying jewelry 5 years ago? Or is it your intention all rich people (including Barack Obama) should never buy jewelry for their spouses again and donate all the money instead to your favorite charity? Or is just that you are poor and you are really jealous of others? Has life basically taken a huge financial shit right on top of you? Is that it?

You seem to be missing the point. I could give a rats ass where he was born. The point involved is the economic reality of spending money on expensive attorneys or producing a certified copy of an original document. I don’t care is no cases went to an actual trial on the merits. The fact that attorneys were involved on Obama’s behalf, filing answers to complaints, legal briefs and motions, tends to get very expensive. Compare that to a $10 fee for a document.

Even people who are inocent of allegations when being sued, know when to weigh the economic realty, cut there losses and settle when it is less than the cost of litigation.

Furthermore, salaried Federal attorneys could write up a motion to have these dismissed before they even take their jacket off. The story that millions of dollars got spent hiding his BC (which Hawaii law prohibited its “long form” relase) is just another chapter in the embarrassing birther saga.

i didn’t hear about this barfing segment, and defended Megyn the last time, but I won’t be running to defend this woman any time soon. (and I didn’t listen to it this time, but it is rather juvenile)

As for your overall question why Megyn and not this woman? Seems kind of obvious – the MSM hates Beck. And Megyn is all the things you said above.

This woman cheated on *Maria Shriver*, so apparently even Beck hatred has limits.

This is the sort of cr@p that the Democrat party, Media Matters, and the biased legacy media LOVE to use to try to discredit Republicans, but no one ever discusses Michelle Obama’s super-expensive wardrobe and jewelry. She wears $500 tennis shoes (though they’re ugly as homemade sin), designer dresses that cost many thousands, and employs (at taxpayer expense) several people whose sole job is to attend to her hair, makeup and “styling.”

ALL Republicans need to hit back when this sort of irrelevant b.s. comes up. Take a page out of Breitbart’s book- or Trump’s or Christie’s and don’t get on the defensive. Newt is too smart to have not been able to turn this topic when Schieffer interviewed him. Republicans need to realize that the media will not be fair and will be fed some irrelevant “opposition research” to blindside them at any time. The media does NOT want to talk policy because Obama’s failures as President are obvious and damning, so they use peripheral, personal things to discredit Republican candidates.

No wonder the television show “Chicago Code” was cancelled, we just “can’t have” a fictional depiction of Chicago politics exposed on national t.v., demonstrating the sort of corrupt, vicious political culture that is part of the DNA of this President.

Anyone who has ever bought an engagement ring at Tiffany’s gets a revolving, interest free account and O’Donnell and Scarborough are pretending that it’s outrageous, when they know EXACTLY how such accounts work. I hate it when these “elites” act as though they’re just “regular folks”- I call bull$#it.

Gingrich has been involved for several years in a lame fundraising technique where people pay money to be honored by Newt’s not for profit, http://www.americansolutions.com So my guess is that the Tiffany bill relates to crystal vases and other stuff that Newt gave out as awards to people who paid to be “honored” by Newt and his organization..

LOL at connecting all that to Newt. Yes, Newt’s religious beliefs are the reason the liberal media is going after him. If you were smart, Republicans should be piling on and forcing Newt to drop out because he is nothing but trouble for the repubs.
Pablo

Being a socialist, O’Donnell has demonstrated time and again he believes greed is something to be reviled universally, regardless of whether anyone is individually hurt or where the money fueling the avarice comes from.

How much of his income is he giving away? Surely he’s leading by example. How has he demonstrated this belief?
Judge Mental

Nixon, he argued, was precisely the reason “it is important we kick around politicians like Nixon as much as possible whenever we have the chance.”

Unless they have a (D) after their name, that is. I’m curious: Has O’Donnell done a segment on Obama’s enemies list?

Let’s help poor Larry and Bill out. Tiffany’s sells high-end jewelry and most jewelry is for women.

I’d suggest Larry spend his time making a more interesting hour of cable news programming. Comcast has begun the ‘personnel changes’ and surely he’s on the chopping block. In fact, I’m thinking some big news is coming soon. The longer-tenured folks tend to make the most money, so often they’re targeted first.

Post-acquisition, companies like to take some time analyzing, and then changes are pretty rapid. With the NBC Sports guy fired, sounds like the personnel process has begun. Typically, it happens pretty swiftly since it’s painful to morale to drag it out.

Tiffany’s should be closed and boarded up. It’s demolished shell should be held up as an example of personal choice and the evil that personal choice brings. It has no place in Obama’s society.

First lady style: Michelle Obama’s red-carpet lifestyle has been likened to that enjoyed by Cherie Blair and Jackie Kennedy

The rewards have been significant. Despite the image she projects on the Newsweek cover, Michelle owns an impressive collection of diamond jewellery, designer outfits and £400-a-pair Jimmy Choo shoes.

When she is wooing working-class voters, however, she favours austere black skirts and white blouses. “Our lives are so close to normal, if there is such a thing when you’re running for president,” she declared during a campaign stop in Delaware, shortly before her husband’s latest victories were announced.

“When I’m off the road, I’m going to Target [a U.S. chain store] to get the toilet paper.”

She did not bother to mention, however, that the paper, like the rest of the family shopping, is taken to an £825,000 three-storey red-brick Georgian revival mansion, set amid beautifully manicured lawns in one of Chicago’s most affluent districts.

Even the house became a source of controversy when it emerged that the wife of a Chicago slum landlord, Tony Rezko, helped them buy land to enlarge its grounds.

Renowned for leaving tenants of one of his squalid buildings without heat in the city’s brutal winter, Rezko now is facing federal corruption charges.
TillieGlockenspiel

More contentious still was Michelle’s appointment as the £150,000-a-year vice-president of external affairs at the University of Chicago hospital in 2005.

It came only two months after Barack was sworn in as a U.S. senator, and was attacked by critics as a blatant attempt, critics claim, by the hospital’s hierarchy to curry favour with her husband, in an era when some politicians want to rein in the vast profits of America’s medical system.

They questioned why the wife of a committed Democrat would work for a hospital that has been accused of ruthless greed.
Michelle’s image was further tarnished in May 2006, when it was revealed that the centre – despite earning some £50million a year – had refused to treat a man who could not afford to pay his bill. He died.

All of which has led some political veterans to accuse Michelle of the very lack of compassion and moral scruples that her husband has lambasted in his Republican rivals for the White House.

To Joe Novak, this only goes to prove that Michelle is distorting reality when she attempts to depict herself as a champion of the masses.

“For the past year (she and Barack) have jetted around the country with Oprah Winfrey and Robert De Niro, enjoying penthouse parties and living the high life,” he said.

Perhaps, when she contrasts her current red-carpet lifestyle with the unassuming world of South Euclid Avenue, she genuinely may think that her childhood was impoverished. And the one thing that is certain about the incredible Mrs O is that she never intends to have to live that way again.

Last week it seemed the mask had slipped when, speaking unscripted for once, a sharper, less emollient Michelle emerged. ‘For the first time in my adult life I feel really proud of my country,’ she said, an apparent lack of patriotism immediately seized on by her Republican opponents.

Yet even they have failed to scrutinise her seemingly remarkable story, or question how her homely rhetoric, full of jokes about Barack’s domestic failings, squares with the reality.

When The Mail on Sunday went back to the gritty district of Chicago where Michelle LaVaughn Robinson was raised, we found a rather different picture from the one so single-mindedly promoted by Camp Obama.

Instead of the one-room tenement that now appears in most accounts of her upbringing, we found a well-kept neighbourhood of red-brick Arts and Craft-style houses which have long been home to respectable black families.

Hardly humble: Michelle’s childhood home in Chicago
“Michelle was from a middle-class family,” confirmed one of her long-time friends, Angela Acree.
“She came from a regular family. They had a nice home. It wasn’t a mansion, but it was just fine. It was a decent neighbourhood.”

No one could pretend they were rich and it is true that her father, Frasier Robinson, spent some time as a maintenance worker for Chicago’s Department of Water Management.
However, he was a good deal more than the labourer that many seem to imagine.
Indeed, according to family friends, Michelle’s father was a volunteer organiser for the city’s Democratic Party, a by-word for machine politics in America, and his loyalty was rewarded with a well-paid engineering job at Chicago’s water plant. Even before overtime, he earned $42,686 – 25 per cent more than High School teachers at the time.

Michelle’s mother stayed at home and devoted her energies to her and her older brother Craig. Marian Robinson nurtured great ambitions for both her children…

O’Donnell may have opened up a can of worms that he doesn’t want to partake of.

Michelle Obama’s outfit at the state dinner at Buckingham Palace SHOULD be the target for criticism after this attack on Gingrich.

Her dress looks to be about $8,000- $10,000 and her diamond earrings are HUGE. I couldn’t get a good look and am waiting for photos, but if they are as they seem, they could run from $65,000-$150,000. Kid gloves can be used again but are probably $500+/-.

Look out, Larry, the women KNOW what apparel and jewelry costs, and Michelle DOES like to wear designer duds.

It is called penis envy. What the hell is it anybody’s business what Newt does with his money. I do not support him for the Presidency, but i sure as hell defend his right to spend his money any way he wants to and so should we all.

I noticed someone wrote about he was sure that Newt gave to charity, you could only hope that Bill and Hilliary, AlGore, and Joe cheapskate Biden would. Each of these paragons of liberalism gave very little of their own money away, but want you and I to give our all.
