You Are Not the Speaker

Newt Gingrich can be called many things: garrulous, grandiose, philandering. But one thing he should not be called is ?Mr. Speaker.? Gingrich ceased to be entitled to that title when he left the House on Jan. 3, 1999. But you would never know it from the obsequious way journalists have addressed him during the campaign, where ?Mr. Speaker? and ?Speaker Gingrich? have become standard. It?s as if he is Downton Abbey?s Earl of Grantham, his honorific adhering to him for life.
