Newt Gingrich is out in Los Angeles scrubbing a few rich peoples' toilets with his tongue, for their amusement, in order to lock down whatever fat-cat money's still out there. He got into town yesterday and what happens, of course, the bus gets a flat tire -- in West Hollywood, where a great many homosexuals partake in social activity, according to Internet articles. Did these friendly gay Hollywood liberals help him? Eh, not so much.

89.3 KPCC monitored the Gingrich bus collapse and accumulated a number of real-time reactions from the local hedonistic city snobs, on Twitter:

Gingrich, who is in Los Angeles campaigning, did not receive much sympathy for his vehicle's mechanical difficulties. Instead, locals took to Twitter with red-white-and-blue language, unsolicited advice, claims of voodoo, musings on karma, and at least one mention of a glitter-bomb.

Did Newt Gingrich survive? Was he safe? No one knows, because the national media has stopped covering him. We'll find out sooner or later.
