Newt Gingrich

Whatever one makes of his politics, Newt Gingrich is impossible to ignore as a force who reshaped how American power talks to itself. A historian, novelist and teacher as much as a politician, he wielded language as a weapon, which is why even a satirical prize like the Doublespeak Award fits him. I find the sheer breadth fascinating, a man who treated rhetoric as a discipline and bent an entire party around it. I withhold judgment on the substance, but the relentless intellectual ambition behind his career is something few public figures ever match.
