ATLANTA, Ga. -- Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich has boasted about his 1.3 million-strong following on Twitter, but a report out Monday suggested a majority of his virtual flock is fake.
"I have six times as many Twitter followers as all the other candidates combined," Gingrich told the Marietta Daily Journal in an interview published Sunday. He was discussing a Politico report that chalked up the former House Speaker's Twitter success -- he has more than twice as many followers as the social media-savvy Sarah Palin -- to his "personal touch" since he "tweets and manages his Twitter feed himself."

I think you mean World War II...to have fought in World War I, he would have been born around 1900, and would be celebrating his 111th birthday, or thereabouts.
Yup, he was born in 1920. I corrected it in the thread already
No wonder his campaign is in debt. Between this, Tiffanys, and his entire campaign staff quitting due to mismanagement, every day there’s a new reason to keep him away from this nation’s pocketbook. I never did understand why people thought Newt was so smart, when all he ever seems to do is make mistakes. Big, obvious, embarrassing ones.
There is now way - no way in hell - that is even remotely possible.
Heck, I’m convinced most of his hair now is fake.
I’m now even more frightened as I was before reading this. Old dudes on Facebook is kinda funny. I can see the interest. Good for them.
I can’t even get my 76 year old mother in law to get an ATM card! lol
Hmm, “those” kind of grandkids eh? Did they get it from the parents or the schools? lol
I thank god everyday that my mother and computers just don’t go well. But the phone? That’s another story.
I have no social accounts myself. Not really interested to have people I didn’t care for much in high school asking me how is life. And I know they do because my little brother is on FB and they ask about me.
I’ve been keeping up with my real friends even back to the old days of bulletin boards and baud rate modems! Of course after walking three miles in the snow up hill.
He’s a good policy wonk when talking (like a professor) but doesn’t have a clue how to actually do it (those that can’t teach).

They attend one of the most liberal school systems in Massachusetts. Nuff said.
