Newt Gingrich Made An Error On The Daily Show, You Guys

OH HO HO HO HO OHHHHHHH... OHHH... CAUGHT... SUCKA... whatever. Newt Gingrich mistakenly said on The Daily Show last night that shoebomber Richard Reid was an American citizen (he was British -- even more American than an American, chronologically?), and that's why George W. Bush personally read him his Miranda rights.

But thankfully Newt Gingrich has corrected himself, on Twitter, a full day later, and after much googling: he was thinking of the baseball player, Padilla. Or another Padilla. But aren't all the PadillasMexicancitizens, a.k.a. "tortureables?"
