Yes, Gingrich, our yard-sale Don Juan,
Perked up at the news of Strauss-Kahn:
Compared with a rape charge, some feel,
Philandering’s not a big deal:
Affairs, for which Newt has repented,
Involved only those who’d consented.
But still his campaign’s going south:
His foot still gets stuck in his mouth.
