In the twelve years since he resigned in defeat and disgrace, he has been carefully plotting his return to power. As 2012 approaches, he has raised as much money as all of his potential rivals combined and sits atop the polls for the Republican presidential nomination. But just who is Newton Leroy Gingrich, really? An epic and bizarre story of American power in an unsettled age.

By John H. Richardson

She was married to Newt Gingrich for eighteen years, all through his spectacular rise and fall, and here she is in a pair of blue jeans and a paisley shirt, with warm eyes and a big laugh and the kind of chain-smoking habit where the cigarettes burn right down to the filter — but she's quitting, she swears, any day now.

"We republicons have a long, miserable history of allowing bona fide Chickenhawks to be our so-called 'leaders' as we have shamelessly guided America into a cesspool of FAIL. We intend to keep it there.

"I am way more more more of a chickenhawk than any of the other republitenders, and have vast experience with FAIL, so vote vote vote for me me me me me me. Whine. Sneer. Smirk."
