Is Newt Gingrich on the Crack?

It seems to be a requisite for becoming a Republican power player that you have no earthly idea just how far out of touch you are with the multitudes of America. For the past six years plus we have sadly witnessed that the finger on the nuclear button belongs to a man who is clearly as delusional as any of the Napoleon Bonapartes currently roaming the slums of American cities. What is it about Republican politicians who think their mad ideology represents the base of America? Just in case you didn't hear, Newt Gingrich is now said to be seriously considering a run for the White House. Even at the height of the so-called Republican Revolution in 1994-1995 Newt Gingrich never had particularly high approval ratings. Since then he has led the impeachment of a President for lying about his sex life (while remaining curiously quiet about the two dozen or so impeachable offenses commited by Bush and Cheney), been proven to be a hypocrite by engaging in an extra-marital affair while leading that "Moral Crusade for Character", was discovered to have cheating his wife out of her rights while she lay barely conscious on her hospital bed, and appear to be absolutely no different in any significant way from the man currently in the White House whose approval ratings are at historic lows. Is it just me or does it seem to you that for anyone living under those circumstances to actually believe he has a shot at becoming President verges wildly off the path of the ludicrous and to crash in the big oak tree of psychotically delusional? I mean Newt Gingrich almost succeeds in making both George W. Bush and Iran's President look utterly lucid.

Almost.
