Arkancide? Haven’t heard that term in years. Brings back some good memories.
The amazing thing to me is that Newt is really the GOP Clinton in so many ways.
They’re about the same age. They look kind of the same. They’re both very smart and policy wonks(forget the Newt-Obama debates. I’d love to see Newt and Clinton, I think they could talk 24 hrs straight and not even break a sweat). Both morally questionable and have issues with women. Both great communicators in their own way. Both draw intense dislike from the other side. Both great political strategists and understand how to play the game.
They’re mirror images. I think that’s why Clinton has said recently he respects Newt and gives him credit. He sees a lot of himself. Even Carville tonight on CNN gave Newt his props and I think he sees a lot of his former client in him.
Who’d ever have though after all this that Newt Gingrich of all people would be the front runner? As Chuck Berry said “it goes to show you never can tell”
Be careful: comparisons are odious. There is no moral equivalence between Clinton and Gingrich.
Clinton has been convicted of perjury and suborning perjury in a sexual harassment case. There is affidavit evidence that he raped a woman.
Gingrich has never been so much as accused of engaging in any criminal activity.
“I’d love to see Newt and Clinton, I think they could talk 24 hrs straight and not even break a sweat”
Isn’t that the truth????? I absolutely love listening to Gingrich speak. It’s like sitting thru a college class with the professor I never had. One thing Newt has over Clinton is that he articulates his thoughts in complete sentences. Clinton. speaks. one. word. at. a. time.
