We're talking about Newt Gingrich, so what needs to be said? Unless you've been in a coma or are just turning 18 or have Alzheimer's, we all remember Newt from his last time in high office. He was called a bomb-thrower in the 90s, and he's hardly mellowed with age.
Embrace the Newt. Embrace political gotterdamerung.
