2012 In Addition to Tiffany's, Newt Loves ABBA

Posted by on Thu, May 19, 2011 at 2:32 PM

Newt Gingrich's phone reportedly caused a distraction at a campaign event today. Specifically, his ringtone caused a distraction. This is because Newt Gingrich's ringtone is "Dancing Queen." Apparently, he really liked the musical Mamma Mia.

“It’s just fun,” Gingrich said.

He continued: “I love that sequence. The energy. The excitement.”

Tiffany's and musicals? Feel the rainbow, Newt!

Everyone loves Dancing Queen.

I think you're engaging in wish fulfillment here - he's just not that into you.

I hope it's an officially licensed ringtone and not one created on Audacity from a ripped MP3.

Maybe that's why he's always stepping out on the women in his life? He's looking for love in all the wrong (het) places?

Five hundred thousand dollars bought his latest floozy. I doubt he feels much.

I can't wait until Newt tries to use an Abba song for his campaign...and Benny and Bjorn from ABBA will slap a cease and desist lawsuit on him so fast.

Ha ha, he has similar interests to gay men! How embarrassing and funny, because gay men are inherently lowly!
