Gingrich is coming to Iowa to help the state GOP raise money.

Washington (CNN) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is heading to Iowa next month to raise money for the Republican Party of Iowa, a GOP source in the state told CNN Friday.

Gingrich will visit Cedar Rapids on May 26 as a "special guest" at a fundraising luncheon hosted by Iowa GOP chairman Matt Strawn and House Republican Leader Kraig Paulsen.

Republicans who give $500 to the state party will also be given the chance to sit down with the potential 2012 presidential candidate before lunch for a private "Issues and Ideas Roundtable," according to a copy the invitation obtained by CNN. Donors who chip in $1,000 will also nab an autographed copy of Gingrich's latest book.

Later that day, Gingrich is also slated to headline a fundraising dinner for the Polk County GOP in Des Moines.

4. Or a root canal

Or a sharp stick in the eye, or anything else but having lunch with gingrich. How anyone can spend 500 dollars for that is beyond my scopwe of understanding. I guess they have a lot of money and a lot of free time to spend it foolishly.

2. Issues and ideas?

They have issues all right, but they don't have an idea.

6. The only thing the GOP did...

...was to circulate racist emails about how the recovery was going better because everyone there was white. Of course they didn't say that. It was all disguised in code - such as how the majority of the people in Iowa were "pull themselves up by their bootstraps types" and so on. My mom got some of these so we know that's what the GOP was up to when this happened.
