The Newly Visible Newt

Once upon a time, when he was Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich was very visible. They he lay low for a few years: we didn't see or hear much of him. Now, suddenly, he's very visible again, appearing on those Sunday-morning talking-heads political shows.

Why is he again so much in the public eye? He's got "presidential candidate" written all over him.
Remember that this is the guy who told his wife he was divorcing her while she was lying in the hospital terminally ill with cancer. But people have short memories, and he's banking on that.

Remember at least what a newt is: a little lizard.
