Gingrich on Morning Joe - Top 3 Presidents

[pipoman]

4. Not surprising to me..

I attended a lecture series at a local university about 20th century history. He had the lecture about the lead up to and involvement by the US in WW2. He was very fair IMO, he spoke highly throughout about FDR while still pointing out inconvenient truths about our involvement..I don't think I would have known his affiliation until the Q&A some asshat had to ask some ridiculous, present day, right wing shit..the guy was probably pissed Gingrich didn't blast FDR.

I left the lecture feeling that Gingrich was very passionate about history and if being a history professor would have paid the bills, he would have been content doing that...but then there was this weird narcissistic vibe which made me believe that his involvement in politics was an attempt to inject himself into US history, and in doing that, his strong admiration for war time presidents was unsettling...the whole patriots and heroes arising from war thing..
