Newt may very well win the GOP nomination, but he’ll always be a douchebag to me. If he saved a litter of puppies from a burning building: still a douchebag. The man has douchebag DNA, and save for being on target about some things some of the time, which isn’t very remarkable, it doesn’t change what he is. Douche-y to the core. It’s so much of what he is, given the choice, he’ll always gravitate to what’s douchiest.

Might I add, he’s in really good company these days. He’s proudly spearheading politics at its douchiest in recent memory, and it’s not by accident.
