Newt Gingrich is Stupid, But Not as Stupid as His Supporters (Whoever They Are)

Andrew Sullivan says what I've been saying for years: Newt Gingrich is not a smart man:

He is simply not that bright, and as out of his depth as his insecure pronouncements of self-described world-historical profundity suggest. He belongs on Dancing With The Stars, not a Republican debate, even of this poor caliber. 

He has somehow fooled people even dumber than himself into thinking he's "the smart one" because he goes around saying he's smart while stamping his feet and shouting.  Yes, he's smart enough to know that stupid people will fall for his   book tour  presidential campaign, but being the classiest cast member of The Jersey Shore doesn't make you Jackie O.
