Newt is our dumbed-down generation's version of Bill Buckley.Oh, I disagree. Two completely different individuals with different talents and strengths. Buckley was a philosopher. Gingrich is an historian. His genius lies in his ability to comprehend the operations of institutions and systemic cultural weaknesses.

But both have much the same purpose. To stay on the outside as a critical observer and use keen insight to promote conservative values.
