Newt's Inventions

Republican hopeful ("I can come back!") Gingrich was criticized today for saying that Palestinians are an "invented people." A Palestinian commentator retorted that is Newt who was invented, and that he is really a reject from Edgar Bergen's dummy factory.

Some suggested that Gingrich's statement was a shameless ploy to draw the Jewish vote. "They're all meshuga," said the ex-Speaker of the House, adjusting his yarmulke. "Just because I show a little chutzpah? Please! Now pass me my knishes and celery tonic."
