Gingrich: I only committed adultery because I loved my country too much.

[11 Bravo]

Ahhh, yes. The old "I could not have loved pussy half so much, had I not loved my country more" defense.
Sorry, slimy little amphibian-person, but that shit just won't flush. I've been married for over 20 years, and have never even considered cheating on my wife; but if I had I could have come up with a better line of bullshit than that in 30 seconds!

1. If he really loved his country he would shut the hell up

like yesterday.

How can this freaking hypocrite go on TV and say this?

We need to start surrounding the TV stations and shutting them down.

The liberal media is just beyond absurd.

2. I did read that here earlier today:

3. "I tripped and fell on her" would be more believable .... and honest. n/t

[Wickerman]

4. If he were a Democrat this would be a Dukakis in a tank moment

as he is a Rethuglican, the comment will be largely ignored.

5. I love country too.

Who doesn't love country? I also love lattes. Lattes are great.

[yellowcanine]

6. Oh snap! I am guessing that serial philanderers are going to take note of this unique defense.

And I am sure this will go over real big with the wronged spouse.

[yellowcanine]

7. Gingrich is just marshalling arguments against Obama. "He must not love his country much as he

doesn't cheat on his wife."

8. And teabaggers nod in agreement.

[Blue Owl]

9. Cheat to win, Newt

It's the Republican way.

[Swede]

10. I'm getting all misty eyed.

A true patriot!

[Kennah]

11. I fucked over my ex's, and I'll fuck you over too. Vote Newt!

[KharmaTrain]

12. Gives A Whole New Meaning To...

...put a flag over her and do it for "old glory"

This shitstain not only has no class, he's got no pride as well. Keep digging Gnewt...

[Vinca]

13. The astonishing thing in all this is that there were so many women willing to have sex with him.

BRRRRRR . . . a shiver just went up my spine.

[Raschel]

14. Newt's slogan: You'll know I'm working hard when I'm cheating."

[Ian David]

15. I only leave the toilet seat up because I love my country so much. n/t

[Ilsa]

16. Even the Freepers are doubting Newt:

"I was working SO HARD and loved my country SO MUCH that I had an affair."
Forgiveness is real and necessary.

But is this may be a LITTLE too much baggage to bring into a campaign.

What say y'all?


Plus they asked if others bought Newt thinks a little too highly of himself. The thread only had three replies. I think they are embarrassed by Newt.
