I think the deal with Newt is, he came up with the contract for America. Newt thinks (and probably rightly so) that we need a new contract. He just needs to go back and work on the globull warming crap and bring it back to us.
You are far more kind than I. Personally, I think the deal with Newt is, he has taken a significant financial position in companies that would profit from this nonsense.
Now, where did I put that darn tin hat?
