NEWT COMPARES FAILURE TO MAKE BALLOT IN VA TO JAPANESE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR
Newt Gingrich's campaign director said the candidate is viewing the setback in Virginia, in which he failed to collect enough signatures to qualify for the state's primary, as an "unexpected setback" similar to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941," campaign director Michael Krull wrote on the Gingrich Facebook page.
Yes, Newt not making the state's primary was *exactly* like Pearl Harbor. Because when Newt didn't make the state's primary, 2,402 Americans were killed and another 1,282 were wounded. Four of Newt's U.S. Navy battleships were also sunk, along with three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer.
188 U.S. aircraft were also destroyed during Newt's failure to make the state's primary. Fortunately, Newt's power station, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building were not attacked.
So yes, it was exactly like Pearl Harbor (//vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor)!
