Loudmouth’s vision for a linguistic shipwreck (about Newt Gingrich’s ghetto comment)

“Is this the same Newt Gingrich who as Speaker of the House in 1998 sent out at government expense a proclamation in Spanish saluting Mexicos Cinco de Mayo holiday? The one that had us Hispanic political junkies doubled over in laughter?

Under Newt’s signature was the identifier El Hablador de la Casa.

Literal translation: “The Loudmouth of the House.”
