Newt Is Probably Without Security Detail By Now

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD - MAY 11: Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich prepares to address the Republican National Committee's State Chairman's meeting at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center May 11, 2010 in National Harbor, Maryland. The former Georgia politician and college professor talked to the assembled GOP leaders about how the 2010 election will "change America." Saying that President Barack Obama rammed through healthcare reform using a political "machine," Gingrich said, "We dont' need to understand it. We need to defeat it and replace it with people who are about America." (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Newt Gingrich was reportedly set to lose his Secret Service detail Thursday night, after he officially announced that he'd be dropping out of the race next week. The good news is that taxpayers will get to keep their $40,000 a day. The bad news is that Newt may have to defend himself against highly threatening college newspaper reporters from now on.
