From The New Yorker:
"Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, is a reader--and something of a postermodern interpreter--of the works of Albert Camus and George Orwell. A few days before President Obama's big health-care 'summit,' Gingrich addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference. He cited Camus's, 'The Plague,' summarizing its message with Jack Nicholsonian authoritativeness: 'The authorities can't stand the truth.'"
Camus! At CPAC! He is rolling in his grave, surely. Where do you come up with this stuff, Newty G? And why do I still think you are strangely awesome?
