According to Albert Einstein, Newt Gingrich is in engaged in insanity. Here is Einstein’s famous quote:
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein
And of course we are speaking of Newt’s continual attempt to win a primary. He is achieving very little result. Mr. Gingrich still believes he is the chosen candidate to be President. Even though e continues to lose most primaries. Trying and trying but ignoring the final result. Defeat. Turned away. Rejected. Sent home empty handed.
Doesn’t Uncle Newt see the handwriting on the wall? Doesn’t he see the low ballot count. Sometimes the last one on the final result? But yet, he insists he is the one. Yes, the one of the seventh son? Oh well. Never mind.
Newt reminds me of Dr. Strangelove. A loose cannon and out of control. Or, he also appears to be like the Pogo Indian character with the perpetual rain cloud over his head. Forever unhappy and dark. Never the less, Newt Gingrich seems whacky, clueless, and a bit insane.

Newt, the movie.
If I were making a film about Newt Gingrich, I would borrow a character and his actor from the Movie The caine Mutiny. The actor, Humphrey Bogart. The character, Lieutenant Commander Phillip Francis Queeg.
Queeg was a certified paranoid possessed with micro managing his ship’s less important tasks. Absorbed in self-important, intensely mistrustful, and hopelessly inept. Possibly lost in the throws of senility. For sure not aware of his surroundings and basically clueless. Maybe something like the great French police detective, Jacques Clouseau. Bumbling, fumbling, and out of touch.
Only he, the Queeg character and Gingrich see themselves in a self-ascribed position of command. Others around them see a pitiful retch destine for self-destruction. Almost as if living in a bubble as did the Emperor as described in the “Emperor’s Clothes.” Attempting to live an illusion that only they could see. Others view Queeg and Gingrich with the naked truth.
Anyway, Gingrich could easily be characterized as shifty eyed, vain, narcissistic, and a guy you wouldn’t want to split a pizza with. He would certainly ask you, “Where’s your pizza?” A real junkyard dog of a friend.
