If the current raining of scorn and ridicule on Newt's nascent parade continues from such media figures as David Brooks (NPR and PBS) and Lawrence O'Donnell (MSNBC), I think it will thoroughly ruin any political possibilities for the big-headed narcissist.
So maybe Newt isn't so dangerous after all -- except to marriage. And it seems that the marriages he poses a threat to are his own. His affairs have twice broken up his own marriages; but if any of his affairs has been with a married women, it hasn't been made known in all his showy confessions.
However, there is one other category of marriage that Newt works hard to destroy -- that of same-sex couples -- despite his own lesbian half-sister's efforts to change his mind. They do not have the closest of sibling relationships, you probably aren't surprised to hear.
It may be intolerable for someone like Newt to settle quietly into non-public life, but he'd better start working on it. Because he's not going to be elected to anything any time soon -- hopefully ever. And this last-gasp grappling for the brass ring is making him look ridiculous and ultimately rather pathetic -- he wants to be president so very much, and he's really a buffoon and doesn't know it.
A smart buffoon, but a buffoon nevertheless.
