Newt Gingrich's Amazon Book Reviews

Posted by timothy on from the guy's-gotta-do-something-with-his-time dept.

lee1 writes "Newt Gingrich has written 156 book reviews on Amazon, at one point becoming ranked in the site's top 500 list. Most of the books are cheesy political thrillers, but the newly announced presidential candidate is also trying to learn about quantum physics, and shows good taste, 'strongly recommending' Richard Feynman's QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter." Gingrich is an early joiner; I'd like to see the books on the shelves of the other likely presidential candidates, too.

    It's not the guns, it's the neanderthal GOP morons who tend to misuse them.

    Same thing for Jesus. Jesus was a nice man who had a lot of good things to say - among them that greed was bad, taking care of the poor and infirm is good, and treating people with respect is a wonderful thing.

    The GOP, meanwhile, are a hateful bunch of assholes who believe in rewarding greed and fucking the poor over at every turn. Not to mention their attitude on the elderly - two of these GOP scumbags on a local radio station were actually joking and laughing at the idea of holding an "Alpo Drive" to feed impoverished seniors recently.
