George Will: Gingrich respects only Gingrich | CJOnline.com

When discussing his amazingness, Newt Gingrich sometimes exaggerates somewhat, as when, discussing Bosnia and Washington, D.C., street violence, he said, “People like me are what stand between us and Auschwitz.” What primarily stands between us and misrule, however, is the Constitution, buttressed by an independent judiciary.

To teach courts the virtue of modesty, President Gingrich would attempt to abolish some courts and to impeach judges whose decisions annoy him — decisions he says he might ignore while urging Congress to do likewise. He favors compelling judges to appear before Congress to justify decisions “out of sync” with majorities, and would sic police or marshals on judges who resist congressional coercion.

Shoot...he needs psychotherapy if that's how he sees himself! But I love it that such a scathing review comes from George Will; I agree with him completely, which does happen occasionally.

Ya' think? LOL

His ego is astounding. If his head were any bigger, it would explode. Of course, that might muss up Callista's frozen-in-place hair.

So glad he sunk in the polls as fast (albeit it briefly) as he rose. I can't even begin to fathom a world with a President Gingrich. Shudder.

At the rate he is going, Newt should choose Charlie Sheen as his running mate!

I think anyone who screamed about the Clinton and Edwards affairs and now ignore the sleaze that is Gingrich and his POA on the side need psychotherapy..... or a stong infusion of non-partisan morals...

And then there's that ethics thingy....he didn't pay $300,000.00 in fines because he was innocent.


And then there's that righty battle cry, "We don't want entrenched politicians, we want new faces...."

Ya, right.

Newt is just trying to make as much as he can from his book and CDs. He will disappear after being crushed in SC. Maybe he will go debate the Trumpster?
