Reason to Believe in the Coming of the Antichrist

Even the atheists are rethinking the Bible on this news: Eye on '08, Newt hits Iowa, N.H.:
News of Gingrich’s foray into the presidential battleground and the array of politically significant activities have prompted enthusiastic responses from House Republicans. All GOP lawmakers who spoke with The Hill said he would be a top-tier candidate who could seriously challenge the early front-runners, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Gee, a guy who divorces his wife while she recovers from cancer in the hospital so he can marry his adulteress, and then cheats on her with an intern, who becomes his third wife...I love family values! From the National Review archives:
Americans subsequently learned that while Gingrich was defending his House majority and presiding over President Clinton's impeachment, he also was enjoying his own lengthy affair with Callista Bisek, a then-32-year-old House Agriculture Committee staffer. This relationship was not just immoral, but staggeringly reckless politically.
I also love the complete lack of irony that characterizes the rightwing party flunkies:
Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Fla.), who served two years as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, said Gingrich’s skill set may be better suited for the White House than it was for the Speaker’s office.
Indeed. Since the White House seems to be the place for a draft-dodging, semiliterate, lying wannabe Stalin nincompoop, I can see that Gingrich would seem to be perfect. After all, he's fully literate, while having all the other attributes. Bring it on, Newtie-boy!
