Gingrich says he cheated on his wives because he was passionate for ‘this country’

By David Edwards
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011 -- 2:14 pm


Newt Gingrich (R-GA) loves the country so much that it has caused him to stray from his marriages.

At least, that what the former House speaker seemed to be saying in a recent interview with CBN's David Brody.

"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate," Gingrich said.

"What I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them," he said.

Wow. Then clearly Bill Clinton is the most patriotic American alive.

2. There goes the "party of personal responsiblity" again.
How many times are these fucking repukes going to evade responsibility for their own actions, while demanding it for everyone else, before they get called on it?

6. And that nasty wife-with-cancer -got-a-new-mistress thing was pure patriotism.
To paraphrase Woody Allen, I just hope Gingrich never has the chance to do to this country what he did to his various partners.

17. I say some cancer survivors need to picket Newt Gingrich.
A nice placard or two about the singular heartlessness of the ex-speaker would keep past events fresh in the memory of the public.

13. I wonder if the Newtster thinks that Bill Clinton wasn't passionate enough
about his country...so he deserves to be villified for his "inappropriate" acts.

16. Passionately patriotic. Yea, that's the ticket.
Because he was too old to claim youthful indiscretion.
The man has no moral compass. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Forget about it Newt. The whole world knows what a sleazebag you are.
Your chances of even being nominated are zero. Your own party can't
even stand you. What a pathetic schmuck.

22. This is like the answer some give to "reason for leaving last job" on job applications.
Another question which always gets amusing answers, "What would you consider your greatest weakness"?

People often reply that one with things like, "My standards are usually too high for some people and people get jealous".

What place does logic have in such a serious matter?

The man is a patriot, he didn't have time for his wife. His country was his mistress (did he say that yet btw?)

Just leave it at that, will you?

30. The Moral of this story children is:
If you really love your country you will have sex with as many as humanly possible.
Go out there had have sex with a stranger, your neighbor, any one and everyone.
It is even better if you do it with a flag rapped around you

The fact that Newt Gingrich is seriously being considered as a presidential candidate or that anyone (let alone more than one woman) would want to fuck Newt Gingrich even once, let alone for a number of years.

49. So, "family values" preclude a strong work ethic?
It seems that is what he is saying, that if one has a really, really strong work ethic, that this will cause them to be unfaithful in their marriage.

Right? Isn't that what he is really saying?

I wish our message machine (oops, wait, we don't have one) would grab onto that and pull.

50. If we don't stop them the liberal media will prop him and Sarah up 2012
They will prop them up, steal the elections and tell us we like it.

We have to stop them.

We have to start protesting the media. They have way to much power. They are lying...daily.

Fox News caught showing a protest in Sacramento and calling in Wisconsin?

Now they can just blatantly lie?

What is it going to take to shut this crap down?

There are 2,000+ tractors heading to Wisconsin this weekend...I sure to wish they would bulldoze a few stations on the way...Israeli style...and when they get there surround the stations and demand they report the truth.
