Newt Has Always Been a Giant Asshole

David Frum brings up something interesting about Newt Gingrich:
It's striking that almost none of Gingrich's former colleagues in the House has endorsed him for president. Striking that nobody associated with a past Republican presidential association has done so.
He is a candidate of talk-show hosts and local activists -- and of course of Rick Perry and Sarah Palin -- but not of those who know him best and have worked with him most closely. 
Hmmmm.WHO could that possibly remind anybody of?

Totally. Just wanted to add this Tweet from Frum reinforcing this point:

Suppose it were Gingrich v. Obama. And suppose we restricted franchise to Republicans who served in Congress 1978-1998. It'd be a close vote.
