3. No wonder he has support among republicans
He's everything they aspire to be in life.

The down side is Democrats on a national level won't tear him to shreds based on his sordid past.

7. Truly, Newt is one of the scummiest people in politics. How about his 84 ethics violations
as Speaker of the House? Only one of the 84 was dropped and he was chased out of the House of Representatives by his own party.

9. May I add one? Back in 2006 Representative Jim Nussle ran for governor in Iowa
While Mr. Nussle was running the press was very quiet about the sffair he had with a congressional staffer that eventually led to his divorce and marriage to that staffer.
Nussle was introduced to the staffer by Gingrich. From what I understand, they often double-dated.
