Pro-Adultery Website Endorses Gingrich

A website that promotes adultery has endorsed Newt Gingrich for president, and even erected a giant billboard in Pennsylvania to announce it. Next to a picture of Gingrich making a “shh” gesture, the billboard reads: “Faithful Republican, Unfaithful Husband.” Ashleymadison.com, a dating website for people looking to cheat on their spouses, welcomes visitors with the tag line, “Life is short, Have an affair.” Gingrich has admitted to cheating on his wives, and Noel Biderman, the founder of the cheaters website explained, “Now that Newt is the leading contender in the race for the GOP nomination, we felt compelled to make a point to illustrate how times have changed when a serial divorcee/adulterer is capturing the hearts of the American people.” The billboard:

Then again, if I were a swinger and saw them walk in...I don't know if I could possibly combine fall-to-the-floor-laughter with a tremendous flight reflex.

Seeing that this serial adulterer was serially adulterating while leading a pack of serial liars, cheaters and adulterers to have another serial adulterer impeached because having an adulterer as president was imperiling the country, I think Newt qualifies as more than just a serial adulterer, but also as a brute force, blunt instrument kind of hypocrite and a-hole.

Ashleymadison.com totally owned Newt on that. Zing a hypocrite while effectively advertising your, umm "services" - that'a a two-fer.

And it should be clear that Ashley Madison is using Newt to pitch their own services. They could care less who becomes President, I suspect.

Nobody had ever heard of them until a couple of years ago, when they announced that they were buying ad time for the Super Bowl. After weeks of hand-wringing by the NFL, they announced that they wouldn't accept the ads.

In the mean-time, Ashley Madison got hundreds of millions in free publicity for the prank.

And now, they're using Noot for the tool he is. And everyone at Ashley Madison is laughing their asses off at the buffoon.

Nextweek, maybe the Moonlight Bunny Ranch will endorse David Vitter!
