Newt Gingrich is the best person to represent the Republican Party.

He is arrogant, uncaring, careless, money grubbing, venal, undisciplined, unbalanced, opinionated, self-indulgent, dishonest and he's a CHEAT. Perfect choice for the Republican Party's standard bearer and poster child.

Newt is the living embodiment of the "nasty" side of the GOP. Mitt is also an excellent example IMHO of the 1% "establishment" of the GOP.

which is why his presence will resonate with many of the braying idiots in that party.

that is, complete unawareness of himself and his flaws. Just barrels right through himself.

More than being a cheat, Newtie spent millions of dollars investigating a President for doing the same thing he was doing himself. Government business came to a standstill because everyone was too busy wondering about a blue dress. So when Newt comes back and says that focusing on personal issues at the expense of important business concerning the American people, he should know himself.
