“Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,–
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
Macbeth (IV, i, 14-15)
I think you may be on to something there, Sandflea. Removing three tablespoons of Newt Gingrich’s tongue might be a good thing. But is three tablespoons enough?

Anything involving newt tongues is likely to be morally shaky. Especially from the newts’ point of view.

Researchers traditionally use only the eye of newt.

We had to memorize that in high school. Kept tripping up my tongue trying to get around it :-)

All this sounds like witchcraft i.e. WHITE witchcraft! Usually,of course, which was ascribed to women mostly. Hmmmm?!

Perhaps Oliver’s plan is to go to South Africa and say, “End this Apartheid silliness right now, or I’ll throw these newt tongues at you!”
