BJs under his desk and screwed his galpal on the conference table?? And that's just the tip of the iceberg!!! There are a LOT of disillusioned former Newt staffers out there, and maybe some of them aren't doing so well, since a lot of them were unable to find work in other offices due to Newt's high handed nature while in the Speaker slot. Some of these staffers were the ones who ratted out Calista and Newt to Number Two.
I can't help but think a few of them could give a salacious interview or two, or three, or four. The Hill was ALIVE with the buzz about what he was up to--it's one of those things that didn't make it into the media all that much at the time, but when you are running for Top Dunce, all bets are off. There's just SO MUCH FODDER there:

http://www.salon.com/people/col/reit/1999/08/17/gingrich/ (Specific Newt nastiness!) Ah, here's the meat of it:
Naughty Newt Gingrich. Speculation surrounding the Newtle's recent decision to ditch his wife of 18 years, Marianne Ginther Gingrich, and cop to an affair with a woman 23 years his junior has made summertime in Washington even steamier than usual.
Now that D.C.'s scandal-starved denizens have digested the scraps of the singularly unappetizing affaire Gingrich -- after boinking Callista Bisek, a 33-year-old congressional aide said to show a somewhat kinky resemblance to Hillary Rodham Clinton, for years, the former House speaker gave his weeping wife the heave-ho over the phone while she was celebrating her mother's 84th birthday in July -- they're struggling with a touch of dyspepsia over a few greasy details: Just when did Bisek (so adept at puckering up and blowing she plays horn in Virginia's City of Fairfax band) catch the eye of Newt (tongue of dragon)? And what really inspired the big-talking speaker to suddenly grow silent as a lamb and vanish into the night in the midst of the Clinton/Lewinsky cacophony?
While most press outlets have reported that Newtie and his cutie have been consorting for at least three years, whispers that the Gingster might have horned in on brassy Bisek more like five years ago have wafted Nothing Personal's way. Big deal? Well, it might be. If it turns out that the two were indeed nuzzling noses before the hard-blowing, nimble-fingered young lady was installed in her cushy $55,000 congressional aide job (sniff if you like, that's biggish bucks for a lowish-level government worker without a whole lot of prior Hill experience). Such timing would raise the same sort of ethical questions Clinton faced when it appeared his good buddy Vernon Jordan may have pulled some high-placed strings at Revlon on behalf of a certain unthankful thongstress.
What's more, NP has also gotten wind of some banter about blackmail on le Hill. Could it be that Gingrich's surprise decision to abandon his throne in the midst of the Monica madness (not to mention his uncharacteristic mumness on the matter) was not based simply on his weakening approval rating, but was a direct response to pressure from Republicans now running the show -- Reps. Dick Armey and Tom DeLay (the latter, it bears noting, an erstwhile pest-control expert)? The Gingrich/Bisek affair is rumored to have been an open secret among House Republicans and could well have been used as leverage by Newt's power-hungry "friends" to rid him of his crown (leave town quietly or get slimed by scandal). After all, Mrs. Newt, whose divorce lawyers will likely put her hard-hearted hubby through an exhaustive deposition, claims to have been unaware of Gingrich's out-of-wedlock dalliance until he dialed her up to demand a divorce -- mere seconds before the story hit the papers. And we all know to what lengths politicians will go to protect their families from the truth ...More on LE DIVORCE here:
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/11/24/gingrich/print.htmlThe juicy bits:
Her smile was broader an hour and a half later, after Judge Brook Hedge had ruled that Bisek had to turn over most of the records that Marianne Gingrich's attorneys had sought from her -- including telephone bills, credit card bills, bank statements, correspondence between her and the ex-speaker, appointment books, gifts from Newt and other materials dating back five years. (Neither Newt nor Bisek attended the hearing.)
Bisek's attorney, Pamela Bresnahan, had argued that the request was an invasion of Bisek's privacy and that most of the material was not relevant to the divorce proceedings. But Judge Hedge shot her down, noting that Bisek is "not just a bystander" in Gingrich vs. Gingrich. Consequently, Marianne Gingrich's lawyers -- John Mayoue, an Atlanta attorney, and Victoria Toensing, the Republican talking head and lawyer who once counted Newt as an ally -- will have the opportunity to comb Bisek's papers and seek out information about the secret affair Gingrich maintained while he was rising to power.
....He was asked to identify "any and all persons, other than your wife, with whom you've had sexual relations during this marriage" and to provide the "dates, times and places in which said sexual relations occurred." He also was asked to identify anyone who knew of these affairs. Question No. 25 inquired, "Do you believe that you have conducted your private life in this marriage in accordance with the concept of 'family values' you have espoused politically and professionally?"...This isn't FRESH MEAT, it's WELL AGED BEEF...better than Henry "Hyde the Salami" by far. There's just SO MUCH MATERIAL THERE....it'll keep the fundies at home. He really did make Clinton look like a choir boy.
