Top Ten Cloves: Reasons leading to Newt Gingrich deciding not to run for president
By J. Thomas Duffy
News Item: No Newt
10. There was a special, pre-nuptial clause in Gingrich's Contract for America that prevents him for running for President.
9. Told an aid, that with Hillary in the Senate, "You can bet-your-ass she'll try to impeach me".
8. Doesn't have any spiffy nicknames for himself, like The Decider/Commander/Shakespeare Guy President Bush.
7. Claims he said only if the New York Mets made the playoffs would he run for President.
6. Doesn't feel like dealing with -- if she gets the Democratic Nomination -- Hillary Clinton and her laugh.
5. Doesn't want to chance having Ann Coulter call him a "Fag".
4. Tough campaigning, since he already adopted his own policy of restricting Free Speech.
3. Deathly afraid Rush Limbaugh will start calling him a "Phony Politician".
2. His own group, American Solutions, issued a white paper indicating how bad a Gingrich presidency would be for the country.
1. Might have to go to dinner at Sylvia's Restaurant in Harlem with Al Sharpton and doesn't want to show-up Bill O'Reilly by not coming out with racist comments.
Bonus Newt Riffs
Michael Scherer - Newt: I'm shocked, shocked by Abramoff scandal! - From his lofty perch on the sidelines, the ethically challenged former speaker denounces corruption in politics.
