Mitt the snake and Rick the Rooster were not “available”. They are busy, running in circles.
It was Mitt shooting at Rick .... or vice-versa? The loser governor versus the loser senator. ROFLMAO.
Maybe they have better things to do, like win an election in upcoming Primary states, than tour the San Diego Zoo.
I'm sure feeding the Pandas is the ideal strategy to keep your nemesis's Mittens and Santorum from winning in MI, AZ and OH. I guess Newt is doing so will in the polls he can afford to blow off some time at the zoo.
Newt will use this to his advantage. Ne knows his enemy even better than we do.
