Seems like the Jersey Shore mom-to-be has found a friend in Newt Gingrich!

On July 18, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno together with former presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich. Although the reality star, 24, and the Georgia-native Republican, 69, don’t have so much in common, Gingrich did share that he is familiar with Polizzi’s work. He told her:

I’m very impressed . . . I’ve seen clips of Jersey Shore and I’ve seen some of your interviews. In fact, I saw some interviews when you did your first book. Congratulations on having two New York Times bestsellers.

The mommy-to-be thanked Gingrich and said:

I’m trying to be like you!

 Uh-oh, is Snooki implying that she wants to run for presidency?
