I wrote and then erased but still ponder if Gingrich will receive honors like Tony Blair who "cooked the books" to drum up support for the Iraq war; that is, to be invited by a Cardinal in New York to the annual Al Smith dinner to raise money for the poor. 900 billions spent on the war, 5 million homeless, a million killed, and the Cardinal raised 1 million for the homeless from the "cream of society". Is that what becoming "Catholic" got him? Shame!
