Newt Gingrich is a very intelligent man, if he says so himself.
I first encountered the newly declared presidential candidate in 1985, as he was breaking out as an insurgent Republican in the House.
What I remember most about the interview in his office (which, he proudly noted, had no desk -- with the unfortunate consequence that there were ungodly piles of paper all over the floor and coffee table) was that Gingrich kept telling me he was an educator, a historian, that he had a PhD.
I had never before met an educated person who was so determined to make reference to how educated he was.
