"The day after the Republicans' historic takeover of the House of Representatives in the 1994 election, Newt was off and running, giving a series of Fidel Castro-style speeches about "the Third Wave information revolution."
Hadn't Republicans just won on a platform of smaller government? Instead of a Republican victory, the '94 election seemed to be a victory for the Tofflers' cyber-babble about "social wavefront analysis," "anticipatory democracy," "de-massification," "materialismo," "the Third Wave" and "decision loads."
Soon, Gingrich was writing a foreword to a Toffler book -- the same one on the Republicans' reading list –- and spending Christmas with the pro-choice, anti-school prayer, Christian Coalition-hating Tofflers. Yes, there's nothing like having an old-fashioned Christmas with a doddering couple who hate prayer and Christians, love abortion and are afraid of their microwave.
At the end of Gingrich's first year as House speaker, his endless, nutty pronunciamentos -- in addition to his plan to entrust Republicans' legislative agenda to an old couple whose living room VCR continuously flashed "12:00" -- had driven his public approval numbers into the dirt.
Newt Gingrich is the "anti-Establishment" candidate only if "the Establishment" is defined as "anyone who remembers what happened the day before yesterday."

Dude. You smacked Newt around pretty good.
But I wouldn't trust Ann Coulter's opinion.
Skanky blonds are not people you can rely on. Just sayn'
I was thinking of registering on Boring Heads just to bust balls on one talking head.
Do you think they would accept my registration?
Don't you think that would be a hoot.
I think some heads might explode.
Ha. Yes, go and register. You'll raise the average Commentator IQ at Bloggingheads by at least 10% and the humor quotient by at least 1000%.
Hey, and don't take shots at Ann, she's my cyber sweetheart - a conservative woman who's funny.
Well I put in my request and we will see if they let me join.
Do you think it is a bad thing that I called him Niles Crane?
I figured I would start out the way I intend to proceed. Just sayn'
Hey they approved my membership. Imagine that.
Look for me the next time the EBL spouts off some nonsense.
Yeah, I'll look for someone intelligent - you won't be hard to spot.
Dude, I took my blog private and if you would like an invitation to join just email me at trooperkirbyyork@live.com and I will send you an invite.
