He had the perfect name for an evil person...Newt Gingrich.

Like "Vidkun Quisling." Perfect name for an arch-traitor.

Spawned by yet another convert to Catholicism working on his third wife… that option was not listed on my baptismal certificate.

I thought he was despicable back then and I’ll bet he still is. Every time I hear his name, a ditty sung by Garrison Keillor on The Prairie Home Companion starts playing in my head, “Newt, Newt, that crazy old coot, with a back end that looks like a parachute!”

And hey, Newt’s 3 marriages are all endorsed by the Roman Catholic Cardinals with whom Newt and all of the Tim Buschies rub elbows with in Napa Valley. I’ll PM you a photo of all of these Pharisees posing together over Napa’s finest wines.
