Newt is a real beaut!
Notorious cocksman and suspect fund raiser Newt Gingrich is still trying to get into the White House without an invite. With his moral and ethical baggage he has had to do some fancy stepping to convince people that he is not an immoral, two-timing, low life scumbag.He hopes to use faith to fool the people this time.
So as he travels the country, he is striking two related notes: that the nation faces not just a fiscal crisis but also a loss of its moral foundation, and that his conversion to Catholicism two years ago is part of an evolution that has given him a deeper appreciation for the role of faith in public life...He has chosen well to be a Catholic, a religion that has over 2000 years developed the trappings of faith to cover over the lack of any real faith. A few masses, a handshake from the bishop and all he needs to pray for is the Baptists buy into it.
To most audiences, Mr. Gingrich does not talk directly about converting to Catholicism, but his faith has become an important part of his dialogue with conservative voters.
In an interview, Mr. Gingrich said he knew that a campaign would bring new attention on the full scope of his personal and political background. Last week, in an appearance at the University of Pennsylvania, he grew testy when he received a question from a Democratic student activist about the details of his two divorces.
“There are things in my life I’m not proud of, and there are things in my life I’m very proud of,” Mr. Gingrich said in the interview when asked what effect his background would have on a candidacy. “People have to decide who I am. Am I a person they want to trust to lead the country or not?”
