I wonder if anyone's pointed out to Gingrich that he sounds like a Soviet politician of the 1920's? They basically forced everyone to learn Russian as their primary language of business and politics (not that it was a new concept - the Imperials basically did the same thing). To this day, you can still go to Kazakhstan, Georgia or Armenia, speak only Russian and never have a problem being understood by most people.
This is history repeating itself, as people much closer to the issue than I am have already pointed out. There's nothing to see here. Move along.
And yes, Gingrich is a much better author than politician. He's virtually unelectable as President once his opponents start talking about his marriages and how they ended. He's a scumbag, at least in his personal life.
