Newt Gingrich's Amazon Book Reviews
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.

For some reason the Washington Post did not include it.
He started these reviews right after he left the House, I remember reading some of them in '02 and '03. Emailed his homepage at one point about a book and he replied.
I don't like his politics, but he was friendly and intelligent in email.
When asked about his favorite book Romeny stated "Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.

Clark describes a pattern of destructive dishonesty that permeated the Clinton Administration. Clark could never count on candor from Shelton (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs), Secretary of Defense Cohen, or President Clinton. Contrast that with the fact that we have every reason to believe President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretaries Powell, and Rumsfeld. This administration will prove far more reliable and far more honorable.
Newt, as always, smart at narratives but really stupid at drawing a logical conclusion.
"Don't let fools fool you. They are the clever ones."

By the way the above post isn't a joke. He actually said his favorite book was "Battlefield Earth."
You do know that McCain's arms haven't worked right ever since he was tortured by the North Vietnamese while he was a prisoner of war, right?
If I was physically unable to use a computer in a normal way, I might just get my wife to print my emails too.

No, they say they believe that character counts. Tribal interests will trump "character" every time.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Just FYI - Newt Gingrich is not running for president, and probably will never run for president. Doing so would require that he open up his campaign books to some federal oversight that would ruin the various money raising scams he likes to run.
Instead, you'll find that he's formed a committee to think about the possibility of maybe entertaining the idea of running for President at some unspecified point in the future or maybe not, which is enough to get people to donate money but not enough to bring his "campaign" under federal oversight.
Here's Rachel Maddow talking about it in more detail.
