95. Scurrilous


From, “GOP Is Now a Three-Man Race: Romney vs. Gingrich vs. Gingrich,” by Arianna Huffington, Huffington Post, 12/5/11:

"This is the Gingrich who shamefully lent credence to a scurrilous Forbes cover story by Dinesh D'Souza by saying, "What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?""
