I think there’s something weird about people in this situation having a $500,000 tab at Tiffany’s. I’m not against spending money, Lord knows, but what a strangely ostentatious thing to do under all the circumstances.

agreed!

Smacks of “nouveau” to me. Real women don’t need jewels, or demand them either. Ditto, cruises to Greece.

Maybe Newt is lacking in -ahem- other virtues?

under all the circumstances

what circumstances....Newt has the money, this is a free country, and he decided to spend a few bucks to help the economy

It's not a 'tab'. It's a LOC - Line of Credit - that Tiffany's put on his account.

My bank put a LOC on my account and then sent me a letter informing me...of course, in my bracket, it's only $500...LOL

But it's there in case I should go over my balance.

But, hey, it's much more fun to swallow the media spin as gospel - and then m iss the truth of it when it come out later. That's what the media and DemRats hope for. Wish so many of us didn't fall for it.
