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 would be nice to read the sequels, Newtster.

    Between running for president, commenting on Fox News shows, and cheating on his wife, how does he have time to read so much?

      Obviously someone in his position can delegate an aide to cheat on his wife.

      He takes the bottom and reads while the woman does all the work?

      Nah, your arms get cramp.

      Doggy style, then you can use her back as a desk.

      Umm, so they say.

    Well we know where he'd stand on health care. You can be a citizen as long as you don't get sick. When you do, you'll be deported to Mexico and be replaced with a sexy 23-year-old from Sweden.

    I think she got rid of her bookcases so she could see Russia more clearly.
