Newt's a Playa'
"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
With Newt, it's a way of life (I think he's currently on wife #3). And what I find most interesting is that the only major repub candidate that has had only one wife is Mitt....and he's the Mormon.

They could be on to something. That "family values" line must really work.
ReplyDeleteI had to roll my eyes after reading that Newt (great reptile that he is) was having an affair while the Clinton debalce was in full effect. I'm a liberal Christian and to think that 'family values' message was the key ingredient that got the conservatives sickens me to the core that the gospel is being tainted by our leadership. How can we ever expect other cultures/religions to respect us?
ReplyDeleteNext Question, Did Newt ever have carnal relations with Anna Nicole Smith?
ReplyDeleteNancy Grace better get on it!
Chris, the answer to your question is yes. Secondly, I want to know if Newt has ever had an affair with Ms. Coulter. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteCheck out who is in the Devil's hot tub together:
ReplyDeleteNewt, Ann Coulter, O.J. Simpson, and Ron Angle!
Wonder who gets friendly with who first!
Well, I don't know about any of you, but I'm switching parties today.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteIf Ann Coulter gets friendly with them, they'll have a "gay marriage" issue to deal with.
I heard that he said he was not having sex with the guy who was having sex with him.
ReplyDeleteSo now he's changing his story yet again?
Bernie, you're the best dude...I love you...ain't been on your blogsite for a couple days now...went back to work...this past Monday. Missed the hell outa bloggin' with ya everyday since last November...you're the best, dude...you post at least a blog-a-day on your site, which is like a blog-a-month-or-two on some other sites. U da man, Bernardo!!
ReplyDeleteAnon, A compliment? I'm not used to those. But I thanky you for your very nice words. If this site is good, it's because of people like who who contribute the commentary. And there are a few dudes who post quite a bit. NewsOverCoffee does so. And Chris Casey has at least 7,000 blogs and is simultaneously writing a novel. There's been an explosion since November. Check out The Wilkins Times, LVDem (he's toning it down), Gort42, PaProgreessive and ABigFatSlob, just to name a few. The blogospher is alive and well, and I'm glad you're back.
