I'm about 5 feet from Callista Gingrich right now

Nothing to report, that just seemed like something DU would enjoy knowing. Newt's speech is actually kind of interesting, I hate to say; he's almost tolerable when he sticks to history and doesn't slip into current policy.

If I felt a heave I'd do everything in my power to swallow it back down.

I'm sure he's a captivating speaker on historical topics--he had a whole career to practice being so. But being a first rate intellect among politicians does not make one a first rate intellect among intellectuals.

She had a seriously odd hair style. Talk about rigid! Must be one of the things newty liked about her.

I find his claim of being any kind of "historian" rather jaundiced. If he really knew his history, he wouldn't have gone around badmouthing unions - AND child-protection laws. If he was really a historian of any worth, he'd have understood clearly WHY those child-protection laws were VITAL!!!

What a pompous ass. And an attention whore. And a windbag that's still empty even when it's filled-to-bursting with hot air.
