You can't make this shit up:

Quote"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.

Or, as someone or other put it, "I regret that I have but one wife to give for my country"  :P

Edit: screwed up his name.

I love the "things happened in my life" bit.

What a great way to take responsibility for your actions Newt!   :lol:

Actually I love Newt.  He's an ideas man, and there are too few of them in politics.  But his personal life is an absolute train wreck.

His ideas are mostly bad though. I can't stand him - total partisan hack - cares more about winning than about being right or helping his country. And a complete hypocrite, lying, no ethics piece of shit.

Other than that he seems like a nice guy.

I've always liked him as well, but he's damaged goods as far as presidential candidacy is concerned.  And he's not the only GOP'er in that category, sadly.

Clinton must have been really hard-working and patriotic - just look at the uggos he screwed.  He must have been in a work-induced daze. :D

I'm not sure that's completely right.  He is hyper-partisan, to be sure.  But to say he cares more about winning than being right or helping his country?  No - he pushes ideology first and foremost.  He isn't a "do whatever it takes to win" guy.

Nationalism can have very different effects on sexuality. Elizabeth I stayed the virgin queen, victorian brides were compliant to their husbands sexual advances (that era seems to have passed :( ) and Newt Gingrich had affairs. And of course in an earlier time the English tried to breed some civilization into the Scots through prima nocte.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Then dumping two is twice as patriotic!


He was talking to the Christian Broadcasting Network, for fuck's sake.  Of course he's going to play the contrite-before-the-eyes-of-the-Lord card.

He's a poser.  He's an ideas man of politics like Bernard Henri-Levy's an ideas man of modern philosophy.  He looks and occassionally sounds the part, actually he's as vapid as his excuses.

I understand Newt's pain. I too, get boners with additional money and power.
