newt gingrich is a tool

I didn't know until tonight's Daily Show that Newt Gingrich has a new book. That's not schocking. He writes a lot of books. The shocking part is that it is called 5 Principles for a Successful Life: From Our Family to Yours.

I'm going assume these five are not among them.

• Divorce your first wife while she is in the hospital recuperating from cancer surgery. 
• Marry your next wife six months after divorcing the first.
  
• Divorce your second wife and marry the woman you were having an affair with.
  
• Shut down the government because you had to sit at the back of Air Force One.
  
• Have 84 ethics charges brought against you.

If there is one family I would absolutely not take advice from, it would be the Gingrich family. Nevertheless, Gingrich's third wife, the one he was cheating on his second wife with, writes:

Finally, here is my vision of success – being part of a strong, healthy family; being involved in my community and being inspired to act based on what is right and proper rather than on what is easiest or cheapest.

Somebody actually paid to publish this. What a country!
