Even Newt Gingrich A Little Depressed By Prospect Of Him Running For President

thepoliticalpartygirl:

WASHINGTON—Expressing a reaction similar to millions of other dismayed Americans, Newt Gingrich admitted Monday that he too was feeling “pretty bummed out” about the prospect of a Newt Gingrich presidential campaign.

“Even when I see my name on a list of potential candidates, I think, you gotta be kidding me—Newt Gingrich?” said Gingrich, frowning and shaking his head in disbelief. “People are actually getting excited about the guy who engineered the 1995 government shutdown? I’m sorry, but that’s just sad.” […]

“Hell, look at me: I’m a public relations nightmare,” said Gingrich, adding that, for many years in the late ’90s and early 2000s, his name was basically a punch line. “Remember that whole thing with me divorcing my wife while she was still in the hospital recovering from cancer? For my campaign’s sake, I hope people have forgotten about that. But c’mon, it’s a pretty bleak political landscape when the presidential campaign of a known philanderer is actually getting off the ground.”

While Gingrich maintained that he does indeed want to win the presidency, he said that actually deciding to form a presidential exploratory committee and working on a campaign strategy for the election of Newt Gingrich made him slightly sick to his stomach.
