ARTSY NEWS: Gingrich gets glittered

POSTED: Friday, May 20, 2011, 11:00 AM

As news outlets have been reporting over the past few days, Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich was the victim of a most whimsical protest/demonstration on Tuesday. At a Minneapolis book signing, Gingrich and his wife Callista were showered with a boxful of sparkly glitter that gay rights activist Nick Espinosa brought in his man purse. With a cry of “Feel the rainbow, Newt!” and “Stop the hate,” Espinosa was escorted out of the room by security. The glitterer was not charged with any crimes, which made me feel silly for not tossing a little sparkle on the former Speaker of the House when I saw him a few months back. Luckily, for Gingrich, Espinoza has implied that there could be more glitter on the way. Until then, check out the video above. The glittering occurs at :40.
