Um, minor detail: He didn’t just ‘walk away from it’. They took out a huge loan, paid Newt most of it, and then declared bankruptcy, while Speaker Gingrich gets to keep the money.

Nice work, if you can get it.

Good point, Sandy….If he were Pres., he’d need a lot of minding.

RE: his health think tank, Gingrich would probably say he’s simply being a practical businessman and politician…He’s doing his best to pay his campaign bills.

Now that the health think tank has gone “code blue”, Gingrich may have received a transfusion of cash from it…enough to keep him on life support.

My grandfather had a stroke and died before he was 60 years of age. I was his sidekick for the final 5 years of his life. Mother dropped me into his lap immediately following his retirement and closing up the Santa Monica store.

He explained right from wrong and how to die without owing anyone any money. Today it is so easy to file a bankruptcy and walk away without a sense of weakness.

Bankruptcy is more than a sign of debt but it is a sign of weakness of not being in control of ones life. Speaker Gingrich walked away from his debts without a single cringe of guilt. Can one just imagine what he could have done with our treasury?
