To understand the partisanship and bitterness of American politics today, you have to consider what happened in 1994. Steve Kornacki, National Political Correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, steps back from the Big Board to tell the origin story of the 1994 Republican “revolution,” the midterm election when the GOP took the House majority for the first time in four decades. It was set in motion by Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich, who — over the course of 15 years — pushed Republicans in a direction of confrontation and conservatism. Steve talks with Newt’s allies and adversaries about backroom strategy sessions and dramatic battles on the House floor. As yet another midterm threatens to upend the political landscape, Kornacki hears echoes of 1994 everywhere. Follow now and join Steve Kornacki through all six episodes, out October 31st.

You have left, I think, an important historical document about an influential US politician. By making an even-handed podcast, you goaded Gingrich's inflated ego into asking for a post-mortem interview; thus, you successfully goaded him into revealing the rationalizations he uses to shore up his own image of himself. Like all "conservatives," Gingrich clearly can't understand that change is inexorable; I like using the example of plate tectonics: the continent or island you're standing on today isn't exactly where it was yesterday; likewise, the sunlight you're enjoying right now left the sun a short while ago and, while some of it fell on you, a lot more of it missed the Earth completely and is now headed into an ever-expanding universe. Gingrich seems to like the thought that he caused change; he doesn't seem to understand that he was/is simply part of it. Thank you for some xlnt journalism.
