Huffpost‘s Paul Blumenthal has an extensive piece out on Newt Gingrich’s campaign debt problems. I loved this graf:
The campaign’s most absurd unpaid expenses were more than $1 million to the private jet company Moby Dick Airways, nearly $450,000 to a security firm, and more than $500,000 in travel reimbursements and other payments to individual staffers and consultants.
When life imitates absurd movies. . .well, I just love the notion of Newt, Ahab, and Moby Dick.
Can’t find much on the airline, but there is a Moby Dick Airways facebook page and a clip or two out there on Newt/Ahab’s debts to Moby.
