How about making "Gingrich" synonymous with adulterer

Santorum's name has already been redefined, but in this case, we'd be defining Gingrich for what he really is - a lying, cheating, adulterer. Not just your average run-of-the-mill adulterer either - one who would cheat on his partner at her lowest, most vulnerable point.

Imagine the following conversation:

"Did you hear about Jack over in accounting? I hear he's having an affair with his secretary!"

"That's awful, what a Gingrich!"

Or was he already having sex with the other woman, and wanted to have an "open" marriage so he wouldn't have to hide the affair anymore?

Just wanted a confirmation, at that point in time, from his ex-wife-to-be that "everything was cool" or she could head for the door even if it hits her in the rear as she exited!

I honestly don't care about the man's sex life or who he exercised it with. I care that his sex life was going through all this definitely non-Jesus-approved drama at the same time he was preaching "family values" hatred to the unwashed masses.
