He was only getting $25,000 a month from Freddie Mac. How could he afford a vacation? /s
Last time I checked it was not against the law to go on an expensive vacation.

Stick a fork in Newt he is done.
No way he wins now.
All the 0 campaign will have to do if Newt is our nominee is run this clip in the swing states the last week in Oct 2012.
Did he mention he was with Calista?
Either we have to choose squishy moderates with lots of experience, or ideologically pure candidates with little or no experience.
Ideologically pure candidates can't become (and stay) governor for long unless they moderate their views and actions. The best we can expect are senators from safe states, or congresscritters for safe districts. They may have lots of experience giving speeches and passing bills, but precious little executive experience.
So one by one the ideological purists are being knocked off because they can't handle the pressure. What remains are the squishy moderates who are able to fend off the blows because of their considerable experience achieved in part because they knew when to moderate their views.
Perry is the only exception. He has moderated his views considerably, so he should be riding high. However, he has proved to be a suprisingly inept candidate who shoots his foot on a daily basis. It's a wonder he isn't also in favor of gun control!
Who on Earth believes this? I guess the same dopes who believe that he served as the Freddie Mac House "historian", and was paid the highest salary in history for such a position. When all the wheels come off this Newt booklet, it will be very ugly, and Romney will be very pleased.
Luxury, Greek vacations are waaaaay worser than regular ones and should obviously eliminate him from presidential contention. Republican wives wear sensible cloth coats, get Diamonique jewelry and vacation in Cleveland.
The people who the Democrats and Media Matters have spent years and countless millions mocking, demonizing and leaving for dead, should know their damn place and stay down. If 100% negative media coverage for going on 20 years doesn't stop you...you're just being stubborn.
How un-presidential!!
She probably told him “If you run and win our life is effectivley committed to the government for the next 5 to 8 years - so I want my dream vacation NOW”
I dont blame her
anyone can travel to Greece and discuss matters there. Even the taxi drivers will yammer on about politics.
Heck, in Greece politics is a national passtime.
