NEWT???????? Are you kidding? Oh man....
There is absolutely nothing to indicate that Newt Gingrich belongs to the Church of Scientlogy. Nothing. And I've looked.
If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a link of some sort.
I've done a few hours on the internet on this and am convinced that you are entirely correct, Whistling.
There's no evidence that Newt is connected with those people.
It relieves me a great deal but leaves me with a remarkable dilemma to find out where and why I saw and/or heard that in the first place and then again in a second place.
It also distresses me to have had the effect of deluding anyone else with an apparent falsehood. I apologize to posters here and thank you all for calling me to account on it.
