Let’s see how many ways I can come up with to describe Newt:
– Putz
– Someone who thinks the rest of the country is REALLY stupid enough to believe he is sincere.
– Out to lunch
– The worst con-artist since Ralph Reed…whom, I suspect, will be on his campaign team.
The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard and saved his money. True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out everyday. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.

Perhaps you can explain to me why so many of your fellow travelers think he’s the greatest?

I would guess for the same reasons so many of YOUR fellow travelers think Bill Clinton is the greatest, Caroline. They like sleazy politicians. 🙂

Naw, I can tell you why they like Bill Clinton-he won and made the GOP turn into crazy conspiracy theorists at the same time! To this day, mention his name and many republicans become drooling nutjobs talking conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory.

Well, by the same token, it was Newt who engineered the Republican Revolution in the elections of 1994…and blew your folks out of power in the House.

That’s true and Bill Clinton beat him at every opportunity. That’s why you guys dumped him in 1998. You got tired of being played for chumps. Of course, now you’ve been double dealt by a chump!

Ummm..Caroline…you are quite mistaken. Newt won his reelection in November 1998. HE dumped himself out in 1999.

I wasn’t talking about our district. I was talking about you guys kicking him out of leadership. Gingrich could have probably represented our district for life if he wanted. What do you think?
