Will Wilkinson went to hear Newt Gingrich speak. Now, I have a feral cat in my backyard who has about the same chance of being president as Gingrich but Newt's speeches are still kinda interesting. They're textbook examples of using God and religion to try and move product and to stampede people into voting in the speaker's best interests, as opposed to their own. That's certainly nothing new. It's just that you don't usually see someone who's so bad at it that he can stay in the public eye and draw attention long after he has any constituency at all.
