The Inner Quest of Newt Gingrich by Gail Sheehy
This is a 1995 article in Vanity Fair. It's rather long and is the results of interviews with everyone who was around him on his 'rise to power.' He is such a despicable creature and a truly a sociopath.
Here's just a small snip from an article that will fill in many of the blanks and gives incredible power of knowledge on the whole lot of them.
Sorry...this posted itself! That's how anxious it is to get out! Okay, now for the rest of the story.
This an interview between Gingrich and Sheehy.."Rupert Murdoch is a leading right-wing conservative who was very close to the Reagan administration...I've been on Rupert's side ideologically from day one."
"Do you see anything obscene about Rupert's publications?"
"Not particularly."
Tits and ass as a formula? That's what he's known for all over the world.
"I don't particularly like Fox Broadcasting, some of their shows. But I can tell you that in the Reagan years he was very helpful editorially."
So because he's helpful politically to you, you can overlook the fact that he contributes to the moral decay of America?
"No. I don't overlook that fact. I'm saying that I meet with everybody who comes by me."
Will the quest of the hero be cut short by the posse because of this blind spot --his faith in his own powers? If he does fall, Newt Gingrich would not be the first politician to get what he's always wanted, only to self-destruct.
Perhaps Gingrich doesn't quite believe the mythology in which he has cloaked his long, unglamorous march to the top of the Hill. As was the case with Gary Hart before him, one part of Newt is truly confident that he would make a magnificent national leader. But there may be an inner voice of doubt --the voice of the past, Big Newt and Bob Gingrich-- which is silenced only by the attempt to prove he is so worthy, so tough, so heroic that he is above the rules that apply to ordinary mortals.
But what happens to the country while Newt Gingrich immerses his insecurities in a cause meant to justify himself?
