text: You won't want to miss the Boston Globe's excellent Michael Cohen on what a disaster Newt Gingrich has been for the US, in so many ways.
  
  As for the disapproval of the "homosexual representative," let's be sure we understand there is NO good reason to object to the presence of a gay person anywhere, other things being equal, and that all objection to gay people is an issue of the past that fair-minded people have turned away from. On the other hand, whether we want to call the conduct of Newt and Callista Gingrich sinful or not, there is reason, perhaps, for mistrusting them.
  
  For that matter, being not just a Republican but one who is willing to work for the current president is already plenty of a reason for mistrust.
