Back last August, Coburn also made a similar statement against Gingrich running in 2012 because he felt that Gingrich "doesn’t know anything about commitment to marriage."

Watch that full Washington Journal program (here from March 2); Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) also appeared on the show that day.

1. The Newt made a lot of enemies on his way out of Congress

After the Ethics Committee reprimand, the failed coup attempt, the poor GOP performance in the 1998 midterm elections and his numerous gaffes and extramarital affairs, he had burned a lot of bridges from his fellow Republicans.

And that statement about Gingrich and marriage is absolutely true.
