Over Newt

Forget about it -- Newt will not be president. Also: The Episcopal Manifesto. Webb has just begun to fight. Kemp's guilt. Plus much more.
p> BOY OH BOY br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s The Boy Speaker : /p> p>Thank you for articulating my exact impression of Newt Gingrich. Only such a narcissist and self-promoter would entertain serious thoughts about being president. A bad taste enters my mouth every time I hear his name bandied about. And I am a conservative Republican. I hope his dream of the presidency dies the early death it deserves. br> -- LaVerne Simon /p>

What an engaging article. I had always seen similarities between Mr. Gingrich and Mrs. Clinton in that neither of them ever discussed any opponent's thoughts on their merits, but both went personal and nuclear in response. They came across as small, angry, vituperative people. The similarities to King William the First almost entirely escaped me.

p>Having been educated (the reason a daily read of the Spectator is a priority), I would offer one more similarity. Both King William and Mr. Gingrich have made scads of money by writing execrable books! br> --
