There are a couple of good articles below about the "consulting" work of Newt Gingrich over the past decade or so. Is there any better job in the world than being an ex-congressman? Not only did Newt make $1.6 million for his work with Freddie Mac, he was also paid $840,000 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. His task at the chamber: "was to attend dinner or lunch with Chamber officials every few months and serve as a sounding board on various economic issues". $120k a year plus free lunches and dinners? Sign me up.
