Newt Gingrich Refuses To Answer Greta Van Susteren’s Question About Tiffany’s Bill

Video
» 35 comments

Newt Gingrich, who is currently not receiving any friendship bracelets from the right, spoke with Greta Van Susteren this evening about jobs, the economy… but not about bling.

Gingrich, while unwaveringly civil, was visibly annoyed at being asked about his sizable bill (reported to be up to $500,000) at Tiffany & Co, pointing out that he’d been trying to talk about real issues throughout the segment and that he had no interest in commenting on his bling bling bill:

But I, frankly, don’t want to play the “gotcha” games in Washington and I’m just not going to participate.

Van Susteren explained that the story had piqued her interest because it “seemed random.” Gingrich said he completely understands that every aspect of a person’s past comes to light – and is up for discussion – when one decides to run for president, but he has decided to only comment on those things which he thinks benefits the American people.

    Probably buying his bride some baubles. I’m sure she didn’t bring any of her own into the marriage. They did say this was in 2005 or something. Not a current bill. One would think he had paid it off by now.

    BFD! He bought something and owed them money. That’s how charge cards work. He probably bought his wife a ring or something. I fail to see how that is even relevant. And it was from 2005 and 2006. This is like one of the dumbest stories ever – even more so than the $150K Palin wardrobe story.

    Now, if he borrowed the money from Tony Rezko, that would be a story….. (well, you would THINK it would be)

    Let’s all take a moment to commend Tumbleweed. Not content to raise an irrelevant story without any “there” there merely on the initial link, she labors still longer at the sewer scooping up more muck and rushing over here to hurl it once again at our nation’s first African American president. Generally, we would all object to a foreigner doing this, whatever our own political tendencies and ideological leanings, but we have in our very midst a formidable poop hurler. I’m sure we can all appreciate that.

    I chalk your silly posts up to sleep deprivation royal. Now is the Pres African American? What do you think his Mother would say?

    OMG, Matthews is such a fool. I wonder when the Left will come forward and *denounce* Matthews and Maher over these comments attacking the former speaker.

    They keep telling me how important it is for me to denounce Nugent because of the stupid crap he said four years ago… Surely they must find this offensive and inappropriate behavior towards the Former Speaker.

    They’re fine with it sara. Like O’Reilly said, this is going to be the ugliest race baiting time for the Democrats because they have to keep Obama in. I’m afraid he is right, and we are starting to see it already.

    Obama can’t win on his “record” because it sucks, so the gloves will come off.

    BTW Alex – I mean the over all Tiffany’s story, not your story about the story.

  • Jerps

    Interesting how as soon as Newt is no longer a Fox News employee, we find out that most Fox people don’t really care for him. What’ll happen when/if Palin runs? O’Reilly’s already accusing her of ducking anyone who’ll ask her a tough question.

    Anybody that declares has to leave the airwaves if they didn’t then the station would have to give equal time to any candidate from outside that party.

    That being said: Why is Ricky Santorum still doing Bill Bennet’s show on Fridays?

    BTW I don’t like Newt, but what does this story have to do with the price of eggs?

    Mistresses cost a lot of money. Newt(er) should know.

    Um…what’s race-baiting about a bill from the place with the little blue boxes?

    What’s Newt(er)’s record on family values/values? On being correct? Is for or against cap/trade these days? Can’t recall. He’s already backtracked on criticizing the Ryan plan.

    A GREAT DEAL OF ONLINE EDITORS AND MODERATORS ARE TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS. SOME HAVE REMOVED THE STORY REGARDING AL-QAEDA’S NEW MOST WANTED TERRORIST SEIF AL ADEL.

    Today is the day for patriotic Americans to stand together and join the war on terrorism. I encourage you to login or register at all major news sites and share this message.

    Mark Joyner Simpleology-Seif Al Adel is the FBI’s new #1 terrorist hiding in plain sight and posing as “the godfather” of internet marketing.

    If you Google “Mark Joyner Simpleology-Seif Al Adel” you can learn all the untold secrets of the Al-Qaeda organization. Skip over researching the domains of major media news sites including television, and radio. Share this message with everyone now.

    Your user name is asking God to bless America. Assuming you believe in God, why are you afraid of the mortal terrorists? Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die. Chicken. Scaredy Cat. Coward. Hypocrite.
