voice I heard? Newt Gingrich. My brain is trained to turn him off. Even being half-alert, I could recognize lies when I heard them and I hadn't even figured out what he was advertising.
What's with Newt's new gig? I'd never heard it before, but it popped up on HGTV as a super late advertising spot covering 1/2 an hour or so. Kind of like knives that never need sharpening, pots and pans that fit together for storage, etc. He was selling some kind of insurance to protect the title to your home/property.
I don't remember who the other people were, as I flipped channels to escape more Newt. But, from what I heard, tons of people are losing their homes because people are stealing their information in cyber space and filling out forms to change ownership to their control. Never heard of it. but they made it sound like your wealth was in eminent danger of being stolen and there is nothing you can do about it...EXCEPT buy their insurance. First month is free.
Christmas is coming, so I suppose he's got to build up some savings for fancy jewelry for his wife. She probably makes more than Newt. (I assume she still has the job for the privileged?) Meow!

My late aunt just loved him, thought he was so smart, and bought and read all his books. (Apparently he has written books about history
I am sure his POV heavily influences everything he writes). She used to try and lend his books to me, telling me they are so good and so interesting
I would just politely refuse.
I thought wed finally heard the end of this amoral asshole when they sent his third wife to Italy for a cushy ambassadorship
