This Newt fellow, he’s an odd one

How’s this for a rundown of Gingrich as maybe our next Catholic president, from the Catholic Herald of UK:

Newt Gingrich has surged into the front of the polls in the Republican race to be the next president of the United States. He would be America’s second Catholic president, and its first chief executive with two ex-wives. His political resurrection has managed to outrage his former colleagues, the media, and conservative intellectuals. It is a contradiction of almost all received political wisdom.

Read on and on in this sparkling, stimulating account about “one of the most undisciplined political figures in modern America.” 

So what, considering the state of things in the U.S., where “with the spectre of a second term for Barack Obama terrifying social conservatives, it should be no surprise that it would tolerate the living outrage that is Newt Gingrich.”
