THE GINGRICH FILES
Newt Gingrich, the 2012 GOP candidate who takes pride in being the most blatant hypocrite in the race thus far, somehow actually has a chance. This is probably due to the lack of knowledge that the brainwashed citizenry of the United States have about him.

Newt Gingrich was the 58th Speaker of the House from January 4, 1995 – January 3, 1999 under President Bill Clinton. During his term as Speaker of the House, eighty-four ethics charges were filed against him. After an investigation by the House Ethics Committee, he was forced to pay $300,000.
