    He was on the news a lot during his time in congress. Just pick any clip at random and you’ll see this lying face.

      Oh, of course. Of the many terrible cons, I think Newt is often overlooked as to just how awful he really is, and just how much damage he’s done to this country. I think he’s done more than almost anyone else to divide this country., and he did it on purpose. He’s brought on as a talking head all the time by the “liberal media” and tends to lie a lot.

      But even by that standard, calling donnie sophisticated? That’s a bit much, even for one such as Newt…I wonder just how much of a shit-eating grin he had when he said that.

        Honestly, probably second only to Regan in pure destructive effect, and part of that is because Clinton got caught with Monica, derailing Newts negotiations with Clinton to privatize social security. These talks were apparently pretty far along at the time.

        Monica Lewinsky, besides being an absolute champion and a power house public speaker about what shame can does to people, also inadvertently saved social security.
