Such is Newt.
During the course of his over 40 years in politics (beginning in 1968 as New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller's regional director), it had become increasingly evident that what one gets from the words and deeds of Newt Gingrich are the peculiar items of a bulky catalog of muddled non-cognition. It's a catalog that struggles to hold itself together against the obscene pressure of its owner's infinitely winding stretch of stupendously overt narcissism.
Sigmund Freud may have driven himself crazy trying to make sense of the psyche behind Newt's piss-poor judgments; unethical/immoral behavior; suspect financial entanglements; opaque philosophical values; political hissy-fitting; squalid rhetoric; sanctimonious fulminations; snarky hubris; naked hypocrisy; and just plain out-and-out lying.
While intelligence doesn't always equate maturity, these are not the personality traits one would expect of people as smart as Newt claims he is. They are supposed to know better. Thus, out of all this, one gets the impression that Gingrich's brain probably reached its maturity level and hence, its scholarly capacity at around the time young Newt completed the eighth grade, or maybe even several grades lower. "There's a large part of me that's four years old," Gingrich revealed in an Esquire magazine interview last year.
