Newt Gingrich for President?
It's possible, apparently.
Seems far fatched to me. I have conflicting views about the former House Speaker. I mean really conflicting: there's probably no one I respect more on a political level, but no one I disprespect more on a personal level. He's been brilliant on Iraq, and of course, as the architect of the Contract with America, revolutionized conservatism and the way campaigns are run.
But the man has been divorced twice, leaving his first wife on her deathbed when she was cancer-striken. Then, he left his second wife for an aide in his office (she is half his age).
Newt isn't just a hell of a bad poster boy for conservative family values, he's a moral disgrace. I do subscribe to the notion of keeping public and private lives separate, but Newt's behaviour reflects both poor character and bad judgement.
