Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, the Republican bomb thrower who turned dissension into public policy, now says he is “sick and tired” of candidates who deploy divisive tactics.
Now Gingrich says he is the candidate to “unite America.”
Say what?
“I want to be a President for all Americans,” Gingrich said Wednesday.
This from the man who turned the U.S. Congress into a political divide larger than the Grand Canyon. This from the man who — as Speaker — turned Congress into a backbiting snake pit where compromise became a dirty word and coalitions sank into a swamp of mud-slinging.
Gingrich, who has tried to re-invent himself multiple times in the constant ebb and flow of a turbulent GOP campaign season, now thinks he can sell himself as a healer.
A daunting challenge for any candidate but an impossible one for a serial adulterer who campaigns on family values.

Doug, thanks for the image of a pit full of snakes biting each others backs, Nice turn of phrase. I visualized the Indiana Jones “Raider of the Lost Ark” scene – with all of us Harrison Ford. Of course all the real snakes in the movie were harmless.
I Googled snake pit which reminded me of the film “The Snake Pit”
Nuff said on that….
Woody, good job, Newt sure fits the definition of flibbertigibbet (a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person )…. moonbeam fits too – although maybe moonbeamer would take any ambiguity out of the reference.
If this is an example of your lyrical talents Woody188, then I must say it’s quite stunning to say the least. Simply excellent and a keeper! : )

I stole it. It’s the nun’s song “Maria” from the Sound of Music. Replaced “Maria” with “Newt Gingrich” and there you go.
I will refer to Newt as “Moonbeam” from now on. 🙂
Still laughing at this joker’s arrogance!
Newt.
Gaaawd!
methinks you don;t care much for Newt
