Tiffany’s isn’t the only place Newt Gingrich can get some bling. He also can get the poor man’s bling by just attending an event:

GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista were hit with glittery confetti by a protester Tuesday during the couple’s appearance at a book-signing.

The man approached the Gingriches during the signing at a downtown Minneapolis hotel, dumped a cracker box full of confetti on the pair and said, “Stop the hate!”

Two Associated Press reporters witnessed the event. The man was quickly pushed out of the room by an event organizer as the Gingriches brushed confetti out of their hair and laps. The glittery material covered the table they were using for the signing.

Hopefully this guy won’t face any charges, since throwing trash at people is constitutionally protected free speech. Just ask Mike Huckabee.
