Desperate Newt Gingrich Caught Shoplifting

Newt Gingrich is in dire straits.

The presidential candidate (haha, yeah right!), who recently bounced a $500 check for the filing fee to get on the Utah primary ballot, has now been caught shoplifting a box of Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano cookies.

Gingrich told OMGG.com he wasn’t stealing for the thrill, he did so out of necessity.

“I’m broke because no one wants to fundraise for me anymore,” explained the bloated Republican. “Ironically, I’m only running for president so I can get all the free cookies I want!”
