Nuke Getrich: The Republican Party Brain Trust
Okay, now I get it. I always wondered why the press insisted on calling disgraced former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich the smartest guy in the Republican Party. I mean, he generally appeared to me to have little more intellect than the average college sophomore, spouting a few quickly learned factoids that may or may not have relavence to any given discussion, but now the most important factoid has come out:
The man made $37 million just by selling his political influence over the past eight years! Now that's shear genius! (See The Washington Post story.)
And here I thought the press was just referring to the plethora of shabbily written books the man produced over the years.
