Ever the Speaker - washingtonpost.com: "'The presidency is a minor post on the scale of change I'm describing,' Gingrich, still the history professor, declares with a dismissive wave.
'You get to appoint a lot of ambassadors. It isn't 50 percent, it's 5 percent of the whole process. I want to make sure by the time we're done that in 511,000 elective positions' -- apparently the whole of U.S. officialdom -- 'there are people who understand the 21st century, understand American civilization, and have fundamentally changed government at all levels.'
He adds with a puckish grin: 'And if, in that process, I become president -- that's fine.'"
