Does Newt remind anyone else of Henry VIII?

[EC]

He changes his religion for self enrichment (new wives) and destroys the lives of the wives past. He's pompous and arrogant. I'm sure there are other ways in which he is like Henry. This has been in my head since watching the Tudors last night.

1. OMG, I'm addicted to the Tudors and you are soooo right. Of course, if Newt even came close to

looking like the actor playing H VIII, I might have a different take on Newt. Just sayin'...Great series.

2. I know

but have you seen paintings of the real Henry? It's also the way Newt sits during his town halls and campaign stops and moves his hands around like whatever he is saying is an edit.

4. No, he reminds me of a friend's ex-husband.

A narcissist who lied as easily as breathing, imagined himself a good deal smarter than he actually was, and felt entitled to everything.

6. Hell, no.

At least Harry had a little class.

7. Henry's religious "conversion" did have a few good points though... services and scholarship were

switched from Latin to English, which pulled back the veil on the activities of the church to common people. Belief in the power of relics and the purchase of "indulgences" declined.
