I heard Newt too at a pro-Israel function in the 1990s. Again, very impressive, not a note, had command of the Middle East.

I'm not questioning his intellect, which is sizeable. I'm questioning his mean streak and ability to bare-knuckle fight, which I think is lacking.

Mean streak may not be the right phrase but Newt exhibited a spirited and thorough defense of conservatism under fire at that Q&A.
