Newt: My serial adultery is caused by hard work and love for the flag.

"If you’re on your third wife, cheated perpetually on the first two, and are running for the Republican presidential nomination as a social conservative, these things come up. " -NYT's Collins

1. "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

[AlinPA]

4. Yes.

[ellenrr]

2. Love Gail Collins! n/t

[Angry Dragon]

3. People, if you got any flags from newt while he was in office

you better check them for stains ............ just saying

[rurallib]

5. A little add on to this - Newt set others up to cheat also

We had a congressman run for Guv 4 years ago. A real first class asshole by the name of Jim Nussle (Iowa).
Nussle was on wife #2. Guess who arrange the blind date between the married Nussle and the Washington lobbyist?
(pronounced Nuss - hole BTW)

[baldguy]

6. And here I thought it was because he's an asshole.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. It's hard work screwing the flag and everything it stands for.

Newt should just crawl back into his hole.

[deminks]

8. He dumped wife #1 after finding out she had cancer, and wife #2 after finding out she might have MS.

He asked for a divorce from wife #1 in the hospital for cancer treatment, and called wife #2 on Mothers Day to ask for a divorce. He was also a deadbeat dad, refusing to pay alimony or child support forcing wife #1's church to take up a collection.

He is a poster boy for flim flam men everywhere.

9. You don't know what you're talking about

Didn't you hear what he said? He left them because He Loves America!!!! Not because he's a selfish, sociopathic asshole. Certainly not!

[randr]

10. Newt never learned that Mr. Happy makes choices that last a lifetime

He can think of it as his personal responsibility device.

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. He did it because he LUUUUUUUUUUUUVS the United States so much, he set out to prove it...

...one person at a time.

And you're next.

[Marr]

12. If you don't regularly betray your spouse, the terrorists win.

Thank god for patriots like Mr. Gingrich. Their fucking is the only thing keeping us safe.

[Enrique]

13. also, Tom Delay didn't serve in Vietnam because of affirmative action

I love how conservatives explain things...

[peekaloo]

14. So telling him to go fuck himself would be truly, truly the most patriotic

thing he could do.

:patriot:

15. Newt's partriotic pick up line ...

"Hey baby, let me run you up my flag poll, if you know what I mean."
