Newt and Callista's Historical Fun Times!

Posted by Emma Harger on Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 8:05 PM

The Gingriches want to learn ya.
Slate political reporter Dave Weigel has an interesting three-minute video up in which he takes a look at a series of historical documentaries from Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista.

He points out that Callista hasn't been in the public eye terribly often, but she's omnipresent in these videos, which are about things like Ronald Reagan (of course), the Civil War, Samuel Adams, energy sources and sharia law.

The videos were produced by Citizens United, the group of Hillary: The Movie and Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission fame, along with Gingrich Productions. They come off as kind of schlocky — the music accompanying the sharia law clip is particularly heavy-handed — but Weigel notes that they can at least provide insight into how the Gingriches interact with one another. With lots of staring.

"I have two grandchildren -- Maggie is 11, Robert is 9," Gingrich said at a church in Texas, according to Politico. "I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."

A country dominated by radical Islamists would NOT be a secular atheist country.

Newt's a fucking joke and needs to quit wasting people's time and money.
