I hope you’re not saying it’s normal political behavior to cite ones love for the USA to justify adultery. I know of no politician other than Newt who has used that line.
No doubt about it, Newt is not the only narcissist in congress or in government. But not all pols are narcissists by a long shot. One prime characteristic of a true narcissist is the inability to empathize. Newt has displayed this trait in spades. Even some of our most craven pols can empathize on some level. Those who lack this ability are the ones to really watch out for; they are very bad news for all around them.
I haven't endorsed anything. I am just saying that all, and I mean all, politicians have to be narcissistic in order to subject themselves to the rigors of applying for a public office.
Then, repeating myself, they enrich themselves at the public's expense, they dress in fine clothes, eat the best of foods, travel at the public's expense, etc. And, all the while telling the public how much they are doing for them.
I repeat, this is at all levels of government. This is what politicians do, no exceptions.
