Cuddly New Newt

One thing about Newt Gingrich: He’s never dull.

After shutting down the government in 1995, impeaching Bill Clinton for office sex while carrying on an affair in his own and a $300,000 fine by the House ethics committee, any other politician might slink into silence.

But here is a new cuddly, conciliatory Newt Gingrich, ubiquitous in New Hampshire, on “Meet the Press” and Fox TV, with a new crackpot Contract With America for the 21st century, advocating bipartisan solutions for social problems, most of them featuring patriotism, God and giving tax-free money to Gingrich.

He is not running for President, mind you, but is holding himself available if America needs him to lead us out of the darkness.

Don’t hold your breath, Newt
