"Isn't he in jail?"
That was a Gingrich spokesman's comprehensive reply to Politico's Maggie Haberman, who had asked for -- and one assumes expected -- a somewhat more comprehensive reply to Jack Abramoff's recent appraisal of Newt Gingrich's "corruption."
Dismissive, insolent, superior -- the hallmarks of both candidate and staff.
Should one include "concerned," "worried," or "damage-controlling"? Not really. To be concerned, The Gingrich would require a genetic constitution of something other than the sociopathic; to be worried, he would have to actually be running for president; and any pursuit of control would suggest a possession of some concern or worry about the damage he wreaks, which of course he, as a ffffundamental sociopath, possesses not.
The Gingrich just doesn't care, never cared, couldn't care less, indeed hasn't a care in the world -- because he's amassing yet more mountains of cash, while glittering as the center of national attention.
Mission accomplished. What's to worry?
