Newt Gingrich (R-GA) loves the country so much that it has caused him to stray from his marriages. At least, that what the former House speaker seemed to be saying in a recent interview with CBN's David Brody.

"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate," Gingrich said.

"What I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them," he said.

Gingrich has been married three times and divorced twice.

His second wife, Marianne, revealed to Esquire last year how the former speaker had presented his first wife with the terms of their divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from surgery for uterine cancer in 1980.

"He's the last person I'd vote for for president of the United States," Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) told the Tulsa World in August. "His life indicates he does not have a commitment to the character traits necessary to be a great president."

That is the stupidest thing I ever heard.

The producers on set at the Christian Broadcast Network should have stoned Newt then and there.

[Sagebrush]

Does he really think anybody with an I. Q. higher than a rock is going to believe any of that crap?

[LEONNE]

Typical political bullshit from a lifelong career political whore,... he has such high ideals for the country,.... yet has such low ideals in his own life so much so that he can't even keep his wang in his pants while his wife is dying of cancer. He is a scumbag par excellence nuff said.

Here we go. . .the media is helping to choose your candidate for you because they know that Newt is the only opposition that can take Obama to the woodshed. . .
Also, it is well accepted and published by Speaker Gingrich's daughter that the eminent divorce was discussed with his family long before his first wife acquired a non-proliferative form of cancer.

Newt gives Whoring and Prostitution a BAD NAME. I especially like it when he gets into his high toned holier than thou voice and preaches to the masses. I can't believe the idiots who lap up his insane, inane drivel. One thing I never dreamed the USofA would be is 'PATHETIC'. Newt and his ilk, both R & D are just that. What a sad day for our great Constitution.

[ain't bullshitt'n]

The public bought the "hope and change" BS....I guess I can give it to Newt...Why the heck not...sling it out there and see if it sticks.......Most folks with a shred of decency would be appalled at such excuses but I digress......AB

[Mikes]

He sounds like a sociopath. Big surprise.

Go Ron Paul. He at least puts America first, second and third.

Newt. He keeps getting smaller.

[Howard T. Lewis III]

It's like getting a speeding ticket and telling the cop how many times you've broken the law where you never got caught.. Only sooner or later he'll say something and the officer will draw his gun and yell at him to get out of the car.

SERGIO--

Right on.

Hilarious. Thanks.

Outstanding thread, btw.

The story, however, omits mention of the fact that DSK's victim lives in AIDS housing, there by upping the wager on the accuracy of DSK's wholesale denial. Or maybe it did. I didn't click on the "Continue reading..." link.

Now zh is saying one of the whores was mixed up with Spitzer. The official stories are beginning to resemble a Dali painting. Jesus.

Well, Bill Clinton taught us what is and what is not having "Sex".......................Now this Bozo tells us its ok to have Sex, and Bill said that aint Sex, Sex with other woman, girls, and ladys. Only if you Love Your Country.................................then its "OK" ?

What air are these guys breathing these days...? Its not the air we breath. & just when we thought ol Newt couldent get any Wackey'er......................!

That Ol Boys got him self a very sick mind. Guess we just wait till tommrow and see what comes out of his mouth next.....?

9-11, GOM oil well blow out by design, Fukushima's (GE, Westinghouse and the Nixon AEC designed) reactor array located to be destroyed to meltdown (with all stored spent fuel added to the meltdown caused explosion as we see now at Fukushima and drifting over America), ARM fraud to cover derivative European fraud exposure costs, spraying over a million gallons of Corexit to kill off the GOM and secretly incinerating dead sea life at sea to avoid paying fines, 14.6 trillion of debt interest, now HAARP circles (HAARP is in Alaska and owned by England) predate, by 24 to 48 hours, incidents of radical weather phenomena at vicinity or locus of HAARP circles dating back at least several months., President Dover (first name Uncle Ben) allowing attacks on numerous countries AND the U.S., this bin Laden lookalike (only about 35 years old) murdered and dumped in the ocean for the American TV crowd, and more!!. The U.S. is under a coordinated attack and it is obvious except the weapons are not gunpowder oriented. Pres. Dover, instead of defending, compounds these domestic attacks with equally as offensive attacks against innocent foreign powers for AIPAC and American oil companies. The dude has been operated on. I tell you!!

WE NEED a mutiny or impeachment of SCOTUS and POTUS and all Congresscritters of the mewling persuasion TODAY. NWO=OWO+CFR. I am beginning to believe that Americans would feel honored to have their children offered up to Benny the Rat and General Aquino, the pedophilic satanist (going back to the Franklin cover-up of GHW Bush and further)who is the NSA general over all psychological warfare for the U.S. military since the Bush butt-pirates put him there. General Aquino should be everyones' NEXT READ.

Then there is little Newt. I am sure little Newt really has a story he wants to tell. Too bad he has been keeping it for so long he has poisoned his own soul beyond recovery. Maybe his bigotry and guilt over all the deaths he has indirectly caused by his district receiving more yearly MIC dollars than any other several times is causing panic whenever he looks in the mirror.
Admiral Morrison's son Jim said, "You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!" He may have meant poor Newt.
