LMAO! RAINBOW SHOWER! NEWT GINGRICH SPRINKLED WITH PIXIE DUST FROM A GAY RIGHTS ACTIVIST!

Newt Gingrich can't catch a break.
The former speaker of the House and newly minted GOP presidential candidate was showered with glittery confetti by a gay-rights protester at a book signing in Minneapolis on Tuesday.

"Feel the rainbow, Newt. Stop the hate. Stop anti-gay politics. It's dividing our country and it's not fixing our economy," the protester said, as he yanked out a box and dumped the sparkles on Gingrich, who sat next to wife, Callista.

The man, who was escorted out of the room, was later identified as Nick Espinosa, 24.

The Minneapolis resident garnered national attention last year when he dumped 2,000 pennies in the lap of Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer.

Emmer had come under fire for suggesting that waiters made more than $100,000 a year, and Espinosa's penny dump succeeded in bringing national attention to Emmer's claim.

The glitter video comes a day after Gingrich was captured on tape being berated by an angry Iowa Republican, who blasted the conservative as an "embarrassment to our party."

Gingrich has been taking heat from fellow conservatives this week after a much-criticized appearance Sunday on "Meet the Press," where he slammed Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) Medicare-cutting budget plan as "right-wing social engineering." He has since apologized.

To top it off, Gingrich also came under the microscope after he refused to answer questions about an unpaid Tiffany Co. bill, reported to be up to $500,000.

"I frankly don't want to play the 'gotcha' games in Washington and I'm just not going to participate," Gingrich told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.

All the negative attention is leaving some wondering if his campaign is over just weeks after started.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) told a local Chicago radio station that Gingrich's comments on Medicare were a "tremendous misspeak," acknowledging "many have said now he's finished," but stopping short of declaring it himself.

Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer declared Gingrich is "done," adding, "He didn't' have a big chance from the beginning, but now he's done."

The former speaker disagreed.

"If Charles Krauthammer had been with me yesterday in four different cities in Iowa, where we had huge crowds, sometimes three times as many as they expected, I think he might reconsider," said Gingrich.
