First off, let's consider the source.

Newt Gingrich is a washed-up, egocentric has-been, who could have done good things for the Nation and the Republican Party.

Instead, he squandered an historic opportunity to bring credit both to himself, as Speaker; and to the continued growth of the Party

The bum squandered both! His ego destroyed him.

Forget Chaney in '08. Let's just hope he lives out this term, in continued splendid service to Bush and the GOP's greater good.

Well said. Newt appears to be in the advanced stages of JMD--John McCain Disease: He'll say anything to get on Meet The Press.
