Notes Transcript of tonight's Republican debate.

MODERATOR:	Hi. Here we are again. Let's get right to it and start with Speaker Gingrich. Sir, please don't get mad tonight.
GINGRICH:	No.
ROMNEY:	Freddie Mac! Resigned in disgrace! I'll release my 2012 taxes after I'm President! (Smarmy laugh.)
PAUL:	Why am I here?
SANTORUM:	I still hate gay people. And I'm still a huge dick. Look at my sweater vest! Obama's a Muslim!
MODERATOR:	Does anyone here have anything of substance to offer?
GINGRICH:	I hear Santorum is some sort of substance.
(All laugh. Except Santorum, whose wife runs onto the stage.)
MRS. SANTORUM:	Don't pick on my husband! He just hates gay people!
MODERATOR:	Security, please escort Mrs. Santorum off the stage.
ROMNEY:	I pay Cayman Islands offshore taxes investments Bain Capital, uh, universal healthcare reform no, Obama must go!
PAUL:	Why am I here?
SANTORUM:	Still with the hating of the gay people. Sweater vests! (Takes off shirt.)
MODERATOR:	Thanks all. We're going to commercial and when we come back, I'm going to ask the candidates, "Why even bother?" Stay tuned.
