Beyond-Pathetic Gingrich

Concerning Newt Gingrich, Maureen Dowd writes:
The 67-year-old former speaker, who has a talent for overreaching, is more unbridled than ever. He’s decided he’ll do or say anything to stay in the game — even Palin-izing himself by making outrageous, unsubstantiated comments to appeal to the wing nuts among us.

The conservative who fancies himself a historian and visionary did not use his critical faculties to resist his party’s lunacy but instead has embraced it, shamelessly.
There is no doubt that Gingrich (unlike Palin) is clearly intellectually bright, but he is certainly not wise, and he is now self-promoting himself by saying whatever it takes, including calling Obama a 'Kenyan anti-colonialist'.  This is beyond pathetic.
It's hard to imagine this group of demogogues in power again, but it could happen this fall.
