Politics makes strange bedfellows, and apparently so does late-night television.

Wednesday on “The Tonight Show,” “Jersey Shore” star and mom-to-be Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi found herself on Jay Leno’s couch, seated next to former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. It was an odd pairing, to say the least, but by the end of the segment, Snooks and Gingrich were, to quote another New Jersey reality-TV star, “as thick as thieves.”

If Newt can win over ‘Snooki’, the rest of the country will be a snap. Vice President Gingrich.

[ConservativeStatement]

If Snookie was a liberal Hollywood creep (Ashley Judd type), she would have trashed him somehow. “You can't come on my show, you are a Republican, you go to sleep at 7:00, don't you?!”

Newt’s getting better - he traded Nancy Pelosi on the couch for Snoookie :>)
