[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gingrich is not brilliant.  He's been around a lot and he has a lot of opinions which he willingly shares.  He can sound smart by quoting a bit of American history.  But he's not a great thinker, which is why he sounds like a Bill Bennett era retread.[/quote]

Since you purport to be a judge of brillance - who, among politicians, is brillant?[/quote]

Politics does not attract brilliance.  Is this news to you or are your standards for brilliance just really low?[/quote]

That helps put your view in context -- you don't think any politicians are brillant.  Enough said.[/quote]

Who exactly do you consider to be brilliant?[/quote]

It’s rare that you encounter anyone online who is not tall, slim, attractive, brilliant and witty.  Yet taking into account that this message board is DC oriented and based on 30+ years of life in DC, I assume that the odds are overwhelmingly against most posters being any of the above.  But let’s continue the fantasy.  We are all brillant, of course.[/quote]

No we are not and neither is Newt.  He's just a guy.  If you know actual scholars, he does not stack up.   And that's the reason people call him brilliant.  He's not brilliant as a political strategist.  He's not brilliant on foreign affairs.  And his comments on history, his own field, are rather pedantic.  Sorry, but he looks like a professor to non-professors and that's it.[/quote]

Am I really obligated to respond since you blew off my question?[/quote]
