Gingrich Cries In Iowa

Talking about his mother's illnesses (she died in 2003) Newt Gingrich shed what is described as copious tears for a group of voters he was wooing.

Interestingly, the topic of his mother's illnesses was raised by GOP pollster Frank Luntz, who pitched an obviously prearranged question at him.(An Oprah-esque question to remember a moment with his mom that changed his life.)

But we needn't get too cynical here. Gingrich probably really does have feelings. Dogs and cats have feelings, so why wouldn't politicians?
