It seems the Commander in Chief is not the only die hard hoops fan in the political world. Newt Gingrich is so psyched up for this year's Final Four that when moderator George Stephanopoulos asked what he would be doing but for his misguided run at the Presidency, he broke out his "I'd rather be watching the college basketball championship" bumper sticker.

Dumbasses. If you're going to pretend to be Joe Sixpack, at least know what Joe Sixpack is watching: An NFL Playoff game.

Yeah, that's why it's called January Madness, Newt.

Even his campaign manager's damage control "college football championship game" answer doesn't hold water, as the only college game Saturday was the BBVA COMPASS BOWL. I'm not even sure it was televised.

The other candidates were at least bright enough to be vague.

Well, there goes the "I'd like to have a beer with him" vote.

Not a big beer fan but I couldn't get drunk enough to enjoy drinking with those fools and ass holes!

But I'll gladly get drunk enough to puke on their $10000 suits and shoes! Hopefully someting that stains!
