Bush & Company

There's a theory that everyone has an invisible aura above his head, denoting his character and how he conducts his life.

For the best of us, this aura is bright, white and radiant; for the worst, a roily, dingy yellow.

Considering the arrogant, mean, unscrupulous, often brawling behavior of past and present Newt Gingrich and his continued capricious dance with truth and fact, one might rightly assume that the aura, halo or aureole he wears is of the latter kind.

The reputations that he stole
Would further each self-serving goal;
While playing one or another role,
He'd swing with ease from pole to pole;

Chameleon-like, self-contradicting,
By logic never is constricting.
Is he the braggart politician,
An intellect, a word magician?

Is he a man without a soul
Who wears an earthly aureole?
Who is this double-dealing fellow
Whose aura is a dirty yellow?
