Newt's snoot

By now you've heard President Obama, after being hounded by the media for days, made a statement about Trayvon Martin's tragic death. So naturally, in a pathetic attempt to save his failing campaign, Newt was compelled to attack President Obama for allegedly "playing the race card." He had to contort pretty hard to get his nose out of joint over that tempered remark. Probably play pretty well with the rubes, but not well enough to save his candidacy.

Somewhat related, since we're speaking of snoots, or more properly snouts, this is my choice for picture of the week. Cries out for a snarky caption, but I'm not good at those. Hard to think of anything that isn't too mean to post in public.
