New (And Unimproved) Newt: Gingrich Seeks To Topple Secular America

I’ve been reporting on Religious Right meetings for more than two decades now and have had to sit through some pretty nasty stuff. I recall a meeting of the Family Research Council’s “Values Voter Summit” a few years ago where a staff member with the American Family Association explained how Adolf Hitler invented the separation of church and state.

As bad as that was, it wasn’t as annoying as listening to Newt Gingrich. Gingrich is a fixture at these meetings. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard him speak. It’s awful, every time.

Gingrich is the perfect storm of ignorance and arrogance. As journalist Bill Berkowitz said recently, Gingrich is always sure he’s the smartest guy in the room. Unfortunately, everything Gingrich believes about pretty much any topic must first bow to his rigid, right-wing ideology. Unlike a real scholar who seeks looks at the evidence in an effort to find the truth, Gingrich begins with an answer and twists the “facts” to back that up.

A few years ago, Gingrich got on a religion kick. The country, he decided, is too secular. Backed by his wife Calista – the congressional aide he was having an affair with during the Clinton impeachment fiasco – Gingrich has decided to save the country from the godless hordes. (She’s wife number three, by the way.)

5. Which wife is he cheating on these days? Third or fourth? I've lost track.

Nothing scholarly about Gingrich, they got that right.

6. He should just convert to a religious sect that is still into polygamy

That way he wouldn't have to keep cheating since he would simply be 'interviewing' prospective future wives.

And I'll go V for Vendetta on your corrupt ass.
