His second wife also said that she didn't want Newt to run for President. " I told him if I'm not in agreement, fine, it's easy. I just go on the air the next day, and I undermine everything. ... I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be."
That seems to be the sentiments of a right good number of folks who have known Newt over the years. Lee Howell said: "Newt Gingrich has a tendency to chew people up and spit them out. He uses you for all it's worth, and when he doesn't need you anymore he throws you away. Very candidly, I don't think that Newt Gingrich has many principles, except for what's best for him, guiding him."
Mary Kahn said: "Newt uses people and then discards them as useless. He's like a leech. He really is a man with no conscience. He just doesn't seem to care who he hurts or why."
Another, L.H. Carter, said "You can't imagine how quickly power went to his head." Carter told Gingrich after he first went to Washington that he needed to stay in better contact with the voters and Gingrich "turned in my car and he looked at me and he said, 'f*ck you guys. I don't need any of you anymore I've got the money from the political action committees, I've got the power of the office, and I've got the Atlanta news media right here in the palm of my hand. I don't need any of you anymore.'"
Carter also said that "The important thing you have to understand about Newt Gingrich is that he is amoral. . . There's only what will work best for Newt Gingrich."
Finally, allow me to say that Newt is so special that I believe that Jesus even referenced him at Matthew 23: 27-28 "Woe to you, Pharisees, and you religious leaders! You are like beautiful mausoleums-full of dead men's bones, and of foulness and corruption. You try to look like saintly men, but underneath those pious robes of yours are hearts besmirched with every sort of hypocrisy and sin." So as to that stench of hypocrisy, Newt, maybe it's all the rotten corruption in your soul.
