Confusion is reigning like manure at a horse show in South Carolina and I love it.

The latest is some sweet Karl Rove karma.

Just hours after a fake CNN news release went out claiming that Newt Gingrich asked his ex-wife Marianne to have an abortion, a fake Gingrich statement responding to the allegations also made the rounds.

The Gingrich campaign says the release, which is mocked up to look like an official statement, is a fake. The fake press releases reads, in part:

“I have said many times, including on the debate stage last night, that I am not a perfect human being and I have made mistakes in my life. This was one of them.”

Come on, with Newt’s record of mattress thrashing and lady killin’, it is a miracle someone hasn’t started a fake email about him being the ground zero of social diseases in three states and District of Peru.

Hey, listen up Republicans, it’s not about the s-e-x.  It’s about the hypocrisy.

Oh wait, I forgot that Republicans think hypocrisy is a sacrament.

Sorry, never mind.  Go about your business.

Thanks to Deb for the heads-up.
