The Newt's Passions
(Should a presidential candidate need to wear robes like Qaddafi?)

Mothers, don't let your young daughters be interns
With passionate patriots who're past their prime,
But whose sexual appetites get out of hand
To the point where adultery isn't a crime.

Marriage means less to Qaddafi and Gingrich
Than to Obama who's content not to roam.
Qaddafi was able to add to his harems,
But when Newt's under pressure he seeks a new home.

If Obama bequeaths him that mid eastern turmoil,
Think how disruptive that would be to Newt.
Is the fly on their Levis too great a deterrent
And the reason Qaddafi's rarely seen in a suit?

Apparently Gingrich finds patriotism
And copulation inextricably linked.
Which means a Newt Gingrich marriage certificate
Is almost invariably invisibly inked.

Of course that's OK with the Charlie Sheen crowd,
But might not sit well with every right-winger.
Who learns that old age, not God, might keep Gingrich
From maintaining his rep as the G.O.P. swinger.

Yet if your daughter is into fine jewelry
The way that Newt's current wife Callista is,
Don't let him waste those Tiffany charge accounts.
Old Newt's overdue for some younger showbiz.
