Gingrich: My patriotism made me cheat on my wives, twice

[Bluebear]

This is almost beyond belief. Newt Gingrich is now claiming that he cheated on his wives (he's had three) twice because he was just so darned patriotic:

"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," said Gingrich. "And 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.

Let's revisit Newt's adultery:

But the most notorious of them all is undoubtedly Gingrich, who ran for Congress in 1978 on the slogan, "Let Our Family Represent Your Family." (He was reportedly cheating on his first wife at the time). In 1995, an alleged mistress from that period, Anne Manning, told Vanity Fair's Gail Sheehy: "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" Gingrich obtained his first divorce in 1981, after forcing his wife, who had helped put him through graduate school, to haggle over the terms while in the hospital, as she recovered from uterine cancer surgery. In 1999, he was disgraced again, having been caught in an affair with a 33-year-old congressional aide while spearheading the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton.

That's a novel excuse.

"I'm sorry honey. I was just giving my all for my country. I want to leave a better America for the kids. You can understand that, right? It's for the kids."

I guess Tiger Woods is an even bigger patriot than Newt.

The late night comics are going to have a field day with this.

1. K&R-That poor man- he DESERVES to be president!

Newt, you're D-O-N-E.

[notadmblnd]

3. those bjs releive stress

[gratuitous]

4. So if he's not cheating on his latest wife

Are we to conclude that Newt doesn't love his country anymore?

[bobbolink]

6. !!!

:rofl:

Good one...

[PA Democrat]

10. Hands down best response!

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. "Mr. Gingrich, can you tell us when you stopped being loyal to your country?"

[walldude]

21. LMAO... If only the DUzy's were still alive...

[Bluebear]

38. TOTAL DUzy!

[mod mom]

5. and people fall for this shit?

:eyes:

[Vinnie From Indy]

7. Gingrich added in the interview that sometimes his patriotism would get so intense

"he would start humping the air like a dog".

What a dumbass!

[kenny blankenship]

8. "and it was my extreme piety that made me request anal"

"Recall the parable of the Sower. Did the sower Jesus spoke of sow all his seeds on fertile ground? No, but the fault was with the seed for not sprouting, not the sower for throwing it every which way. If the Sower did not scatter his seed in every place it could possibly go, Jesus would not have his example to which to refer to, and so a part of the Holy Bible which we all follow would be blank today, and the many places where a seed might take root would likewise remain fallow. Thus it was necessitated and recumbent upon me, as a pious Godly man and patriotic, to intimate his example what was given to us in Scripture. So it was that I requested a succession of lawfully wedded females* for a 'backstage pass'."

*Lawfully wedded, in due course.

9. Reminds me of Delmar's "salvation" in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Pete: Well I'll be a sonofabitch. Delmar's been saved.

Delmar: Well that's it, boys. I've been redeemed. The preacher's done warshed away all my sins and transmissions. It's the straight and narrow from here on out, and heaven everlasting's my reward.

Everett: Delmar, what are you talking about? We've got bigger fish to fry.

Delmar: The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.

Everett: I thought you said you was innocent of those charges?

Delmar: Well I was lyin'. And the preacher says that that sin's been warshed away too. Neither God nor man's got nothin' on me now. C'mon in boys, the water is fine.

Ole Newt's sins done been warshed away by the blood of his Savior - Ronnie Raygunz. And Newt, like Delmar, is testing the water and, to Newt, it seems fine. But those muddy, swollen waters usually hide pitfalls (stumps, barbed wire, moccasins, and gators) that the terminally vain seldom consider.

13. Cheat to win, Newt

Just like any Republican would do.

[Riverman]

14. Yeah, Baby, I Put the Flag Over Her Head and Went for Old Glory!

15. How very Beckian

Looks like Beckosis is spreading. NIH needs to jump on this and ASAP. Twisted logic is becoming epidemic.

[TNLib]

16. I find this ironic

We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'"

Isn't that how they went after Clinton because he lied on the stand about a blow job. And the whole Clinton thing with "it depends on the definition of what is is".

Is there something in the US political handbook that says, "that if you have an affair just make it a bj. Because you can lie about it later?"

[Darth_Kitten]

17. He laid down his mistresses for his country?

:(

[Populist_Prole]

18. Who said that about patriotism being the last refuge of a scoundrel? n/t

[Qutzupalotl]

19. He just wanted to show off his "purple mountin' majesty."

[edbermac]

20. Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

And now adulterers.

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. Well, I agree with Newt. Excessive pattriotism leads to rash decisions.

[edbermac]

23. "Newt, is that a flagpole in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

[kenny blankenship]

24. Hey if you think my Patriotism is kinky wait til you see my Family Values!

[forty6]

25. I will cheat on TEN wives and be MORE of a patriot than Newt!!!

How do women (the majority of eligible voters) like THEM apples?

I'm better patriot than Gingrich if I do so!

I must be a LOUSY patriot (really) for NOT ever cheating on a wife.

[somone]

26. Well, Newt, if your patriotism lasts longer than 4 hours

stick your head in the toilet and flush

[Danger Mouse]

27. I think Newt should change his name to 'Toad'.

[markpkessinger]

28. I can see tons of new possibilities for celebrating the 4th of July! ;) n/t

[onethatcares]

29. "let our family represent your family" gaud, I'm gonna post that one

every time I get the chance. Along with the timing of the affairs.

Are we sure he didn't write a "sexual contact with America" instead of the other blank pages he presented?

[Rex]

30. Anyone that follows/partners with Newt Fuckwad deserves what they get.

It is like marrying Rush...you know it won't last, because he has no ethical or moral compass. Thanks NEWT for once again showing the American people you cannot admit to failure and should NEVER be in charge of ANYTHING, EVER! Uh...fuck off and die.

Thanks.

[defendandprotect]

31. Actually, when Newt was "working far too hard" he was screwing America -- and his mistresses!!

[Initech]

32. Coming from the guy who tried to impeach Clinton over the exact same thing?

To quote the movie Super Troopers: "Oh I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert." :eyes:

[NorthCarolina]

33. It may seem ludicrous to most, but it will suffice for the crowd he's trying to appeal to. nt

[MrMickeysMom]

34. You gotta admire all that spearheading...

Spearheading a 33-year-old congressional aide while spearheading the impeachment proceedings against Clinton.

Of course, he didn't want to put that asparagus anywhere "dirty" while chucking the one that's bound to be more huge trans-thoracically!

Newt could only get true wood for Bill.

[and-justice-for-all]

35. uh what?

:crazy:

[RagAss]

36. What a Dick !
