from Now I've Heard Everything · host Bill Thompson
It's not always easy to babysit money of a very famous politician. But, perhaps, especially if you're a lesbian and your brother is one of the nation's leading right-wing conservatives. In 1994 a republican wave took over Congress, and Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House. And suddenly, his half-sister Candace -- who pronounces the family name “Ging-rick” -- found themselves, as they later described it, as an “accidental activist.”
