Tiffany’s spent big bucks lobbying Callista Gingrich’s committee

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has dodged questions about his half-million dollar Tiffany & Co. tab all week. Now, it has been revealed that the House committee Gingrich's wife Callista worked for was heavily lobbied by the posh jewelry store.

Politico revealed last week that in her 2005 and 2006 filings with the House Ethics Committee, Callista Gingrich disclosed that the former House Speaker had between $250,000 and $500,000 debt with Tiffany & Co. while she was working for the House Agriculture Committee.

"It's a standard no-interest account," Gingrich explained to CBS' Bob Schieffer Sunday. "We paid no interest on it. There was no problem with it. It's a normal way of doing business."

1. How Do I Get a "Standard No-Interest Account"?
I have really good credit, but if I don't pay my bill off every month they tack on interest at a rate of about 18% per year.

3. that doesn't sound standard... how many no interest accounts do they give out? because if there are
only a few, then they would be special interest accounts wouldn't they?

4. Yeah Newt. How do we all get standard no interest accounts? Like mortgages?
Your jewelry bill is 5 times bigger than my mortage, Newt.

My personal opinion, is that this is in fact, a clear case of whoring for money. Newt and his wife are sluts.
