Newt's faux indignation at the debate made me begin to suspect there are photographs

[rustydog]

of him with other women and he is desperately trying to scare moderators into silence.

This walking pile of Christian family-values hypocrisy is a joke. What is more disturbing was the crowd cheering the serial womanizer. What the F... Does GOP stand for gonads on parade?

1. appears republicans have a standard for republicans and a standard for democrats

newt was over the moon going after bill clinton and monica lewinsky

i don't remember newt vilifying the media when bill was squirming on the teevee over his indiscretions

2. Pictures of him leaving a restaurant with a woman or having sex with one?

I doubt the latter exists and as for the former - it's not exactly news that he was unfaithful. I doubt they would have any impact. The cat's pretty much out of the bag and has been for years.

And I don't think the crowd was really cheering Newt's infidelity, per se. I think they were applauding his condemnation of John King and the MSM at large. Conservatives tend to believe that the MSM is heavily biased against Republicans and carries water for Obama and the Democrats. I think that's what they were reacting too. And that's why Newt did it, IMO. He knew his statement would be red meat for the debate audience (he's been using the MSM as a punching bag in debates for months now).

Partly is was a defense against the allegations made by his ex-wife, but it was really his standard anti-MSM grandstanding.

3. A Newt sex tape?

If it exists, someone could become very rich... just sayin'

5. Like I said, I highly doubt that. But if it does exist . . .

I won't be watching

8. Here's the deal with Newt's promiscuity late in life.

Nobody wanted to touch him until he got mega-rich and (in)famous. Wealth, power and fame later in Newt's life convinced some desperate women to hold their noses and do it. Now that women are at least willing to use him for money/fame, he's taking advantage of what he couldn't do when he was just a repulsive little slug sans money and fame.

Of course, this is a paradox for poor Newt. He's going to hurt his standing in the public eye if he philanders, but he can't philander effectively without being famous. He's a monster, cannibalized by his own existence. The other Newt Gingrich paradox is that he claims to hate "pork" yet he cannibalizes his own puffy, pink flesh.

9. Who's left to run for office for the GOP? Cartman from South Park? Sponge Bob? nt

11. I predict a sock puppet on Charles or David Koch's hand.

The sock, of course, is made in a sweatshop overseas.

10. If there are photographs, I don't want to see them - at least not before a meal.

12. the moderators were not scared, this was all planned by Gingrich and the media whores wanted a sound

byte to air until the next simple soundbyte.

better would have been to bring up Gingrich's hypocrisy in going after Clinton .
