Newt Gingrich’s check bounced... Somebody's broke!

In order to participate in Utah's presidential primary election, you have to pay the $500 fee to qualify. Well, Newt the Hut wrote a check for the fee and that check bounced.

Utah Elections Director Mark Thomas said a designated agent for the Gingrich campaign brought the filing papers and a check for $500 in March, but the state was notified by the bank that the check had bounced. He said the office has tried to contact the Gingrich campaign through the telephone number and email provided on the application, but has not received a response.

Recently, the state sent a certified letter to the campaign, stating that if the fee isn’t paid by April 20, Gingrich will be disqualified and will not be on the ballot.

This is a hot ass mess, but it's funny as hell.
