Does Newt Gingrich really believe he can get to be president?

[Cyrano]

Gingrich is among one of the most despicable people (Republican or otherwise) that has come on the scene in the past few decades.

You just gotta love that he's a "professor" and "historian." Then again, given the sewer into which Republicans want to drive American education, I guess he deserves those titles.

But "President Newt Gingrich?" The mind reels at those words. The man is filled with so much bile that it's a wonder that he doesn't ignite and blow up.

And as much as we'd like to laugh at the idea of Gingrich becoming president, don't forget to also be afraid.

Ronald Reagan, an amiable imbecile, became president twice. And Bush Jr., a total imbecile, managed to have it stolen for him twice.

So as much as we want to laugh at the idea of a "President Gingrich," let's learn from history. And no matter what, let's do everything humanly possible to prevent this from happening.
