I was digging through some old notes and lists of ideas, and I found this. I wrote it a few years ago and never did finish it. Who remembers Newt Gingrich?

Come and listen to my story 'bout Newt Gingrich,
He told his dear old Mother that Hillary was a bitch,
They put it on the TV to have a little fun,
But now he says it's not his fault,
It's that Liberal, Connie Chung.

Newton, Newton Gingrich, the Satyr of the G.O.P.

With his head full of plans he went up to DC,
To make life a little better for you and for me,
He worked one day like any other Toff,
Then, like his predecessor he took the next day off.

Newton, Newton Gingrich
The Satyr of the G.O.P.

This is the guy who went to the hospital where his wife was battling cancer and told her that he wanted a divorce.
He dumped her and married his mistress. There must be some more lyrics in there somewhere.

Short attention spans?

Or maybe he's just not that inspiring?

It's like Tom Paxton's "short shelf life songs".

How soon we forget.
