Animaniacs vs Newt Gingrich — the lost episode

Zack sez, “In the 1990s, ANIMANIACS took stabs at many then-current figures (Bill Clinton cameoed in the theme song for a few years), but one never made it on screen — a song where Dot, the Warner Sister, does a love song to Newt Gingrich. The story behind the never-animated cartoon and the script are in the link.”

DOT
(singing)
Dear Mister Gingrich,
Or may I call you Newt?

She looks up into the air, thinking, then continues to write.

DOT
There’s just one little thing which
I have to say — you’re cute.

She puts the tip of the eraser against her lips, thinking. She
gets and idea and goes back to writing.

DOT
So before you start your session
To enact your ten point plan,

She puts down the pencil and picks up the picture, staring at it.

DOT
Please make this one concession,

She pulls the picture in close to her face as CAMERA TIGHTENS
ANGLE. They are framed cheek to cheek.

DOT
And be my Congress-man.

Dear Mister Gingrich

(Thanks, Zack)
