Gingrich: $30 million will get me into presidential race (link<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, me too!<\/p>\n

In fact, I’ll do it for half of that!<\/p>\n

Which I think is a bargain, if you look at Gingrich’ ideas:<\/p>\n

I think, as a general rule, that levees should not break, that bridges should not fall, that students should actually learn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Note the ‘general’ … I guess he thinks that there are<\/strong> cases\u00c2\u00a0where levees should break, bridges should fall, and students should be kept dumb. Is he<\/strong> a politician or what? NEVER say something absolute, that they can pin you down on later!)<\/p>\n

So… 15 million!<\/p>\n

15 million and I will run. (Not that fast, though, and ignore the irrelevant fact that I’m not an American citizen .. don’t be so xenophobic, willya)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
