For those of you bashing Gingrich's "profound" and "historic" statements... the man was Speaker of the HOuse who led to the GOP control of the House for the first time in four decades... he IS a historic figure and certainly more then any of us commenting about him here on this board. I will give you he's a bit arrogant- but the man has achieved very much in his career
And his problem was not knowing when to stop. He made an ass out of him self and put a blemish on that historic career.
I agree- but to say that he isn't a major figure in American history (at least recent) would be false
