What Other Answer Is There?

Of course Newt Gingrich was diddling around with the woman who would become his third wife while he was still married to his second wife who was recovering from cancer.

Of course Gingrich was pontificating about how terrible it was that Clinton was receiving extra-marital favors from a White House intern while he was stepping out in his sick second wife, and deciding to end his marriage to her (Marianne) by notifying her in a phone call to her mother’s house (he wasn’t even man enough to say something like that face to face).

Why should we all be so silly as to assume that the Repugs would follow rules of behavior themselves that they will gladly shout out that others should adhere to?

Maybe I’m being unduly personal here (even though this is all documented elsewhere), but Gingrich is a singularly detestable individual, party because he did nothing but yap at Clinton as long as he took up space in Congress (and he actually pretends now to be some sage about the state of our country). And despite everything Clinton accomplished, we will never know what more he could have done had not Gingrich, Bob Dole and others made it their business to drag him down every way possible (to say nothing of supporting Ken Starr and his witch hunts).

Thanks to these Repug cretins, all many people will know of Clinton is that he did wrong by receiving a blow job from Monica Whatsername.

And now, nine years after the affair with the woman who would become his third wife took place, Gingrich admits that the “honest answer” to the question about his infidelity would be “yes.”

So, between this latest Newt revelation and the divorces of McCain and Giuliani, which party is the one that espouses “family values” again?

(And speaking of Rudy, I'm sure "America's Mayor" will need a heck of a slick new PR campaign to offset this one.)
