Who'd be a politician, eh? Yes, they're mostly shit..in it for themselves..ego-maniacs..duplicitous..(by the way, stop me when I get one wrong) but they are remarkably, disturbingly, interesting. Even to those of us who are not politically 'aware'.
Today on the news, I saw Newton Gingrich for the first time. Sure, i've heard of him..you don't forgot a name like Newt..but i've never actually seen him. Apparently, he fancies his chances as the next Prez of the good ol' US of A. At 68, apart from anything else, he's a step in the wrong direction on the age front. He also looks a bit like Jim Kirk being called up for one last Enterprise gig. Further, he brings all the statutory baggage...a mad shagging past, third wife and the gravitas that comes from leading impeachment proceedings against Clinton for his very own 'Blowathon' with the fragrant Monica, whilst simultaneously having an extra marital humping session of his own with the devout Cathoilc, Callista, some 23 years his junior. Kudos, baby!
And finally, this man is no slouch when it comes to what one might call, 'Rumsfeldisms'. Here's a peach... 'a mere 40 years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it and that's what freedom is all about'. Excuse me?!?
Just when you thought that the world couldn't get any more fuckin' crazy, arise Sir Newt. Seriously, if the Yanks even give this guy a whiff of the Presidency, call me a cab boy...
