Newt! He’s just so full of ideas! You can’t get though a profile of the former Speaker without hearing that he’s a “one-man think tank,” an “idea-spewing machine”:

Even in the middle of Newt’s implosion, Jonah Goldberg chalks his problems up to “the downside of being the smartest guy in the room.” It’s like his mind was just too fertile for its own good. Tripped up by his all-powerful brain!
