Not Even Shrill

This is kind of funny (via email):

Dear Martin,

Apparently, Newt Gingrich loves a good stoning. Because he has joined in the stoning of our campaign. When he saw Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee casting stones, Gingrich just couldn’t resist.

Huckabee called me a “nutcase.” Gingrich reached for a couple of heavier stones to hurl, calling me “a disgrace,” and “fundamentally dishonorable.”

Please contribute to our “Newt Gingrich, Mind Your Own Business” Fund.

Let’s say that you write a bad check to the IRS for almost $10,000. That seems dishonorable.

I didn’t do that. Newt Gingrich did.

Let’s say that you have an affair while your wife is suffering from cancer, and that you visit your wife in the hospital, while she is recovering from surgery, to discuss a divorce. That seems dishonorable.

I didn’t do that. Newt Gingrich did.

Let’s say that the House of Representatives votes 395 to 28 to reprimand you, and fines you $300,000 for an ethics violation. Now, that’s a disgrace – a public disgrace.

That didn’t happen to me. It happened to Newt Gingrich.

Let’s show Newt Gingrich that every time he opens his mouth, that’s another $20, or $40, or $50 for whomever it is that he attacks.

I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of listening to the likes of Newt Gingrich, sitting in judgment of me, telling me and telling us how we should live our lives. If we ever carve a Mt. Rushmore of hypocrites, you’ll see Newt Gingrich’s pasty face chiseled in stone there.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Everyone else on the right wing, MYOB.

Please contribute to our campaign today, the “Newt Gingrich MYOB Fund”. Because actions speak louder than Newt Gingrich’s sanctimony.

Truth,

Alan Grayson

It’s not even shrill. Not really. Not under the circumstances.
