The Winkest Link

By Wink

Winkest Link has an Austrian correspondent. She has checked in to advise that I have been too easy on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. I said he was “never very likable.”

Okay, I was being intentionally understated on that, but I am not afraid to elaborate… Can I call him a moron or a pinhead? I don’t think so. It doesn’t seem to fit. I do strive to be precise.

But EVERYONE can agree on is this: Newt is a d***.
And a slut.

We will review why in brief.

It is certainly not enough that he is a pompous windbag. There are lots of pompous windbags out there. Most are harmless because they don’t really take themselves too seriously.

Is Newt somewhat of a historian? Yep. It seems to be his defining strength, but he uses this knowledge like the proverbial hammer to project an attitude of supremacy, and it seems sincere. Projecting supremacy and believing it…. this is really d***ish.

Did he tell his first wife of his divorce intentions while she was hospitalized for cancer? Yes. What a d***.

Was he cheating on his second wife while leading the charges of philandering against former President Clinton? Yes. What a hypocritical d***.

This paragon of family values been married three times. Pretty safe to say he cheated on the first two, and probably did (is) on wife #3.

He led the successful “Republican Revolution” by (among other things) having the 1994 Congressional candidates sign a pledge to limit their terms to 12 years. Many of the signers, all Republicans, are now in the 16th year of their 12 year pledge. Others have been there MUCH longer. Newt would probably still be there too, but his own party tossed him aside for being too much of a d***.

It doesn’t seem to matter now. The Republican party is so void of talent that Newt has decided it is safe to re-insert himself into the public discussion. And Republicans are listening. Some still remember what a d*** he is and may not support him, but there are many mindless sheep for whom his bombastic anti-Obama exhortations hold a certain appeal.
