newt gingrich is a tool

This isn't news.

So, I read the following in an op-ed Gingrich wrote and I laughed:

"In the great tradition of political movements rising against arrogant, corrupt elites, there will soon be a party of people rooting out the party of government."

It's the stuff in bold that made me laugh. Newt, YOU ARE AN ARROGANT, CORRUPT ELITE. Are you kidding me? (Note: I am not saying that a Democrat can't be one. DUH.)

But, really, dude? Really?

I understand that over the past year you've been making yourself increasingly more relevant. The public has a short attention span and doesn't remember your fall from the House or your affair (oh, the irony that you castigated Clinton for this kind of behavior), etc. so everyone is listening to you and you're getting a lot of press. It won't surprise me if you throw your hat into the ring in the 2012 presidential race. Cause that seems the logical reason for you trying to become relevant again. And good for you. But, really?
