Newt Gingrich's three marriages mean he might make a strong president -- really [View all]

You cant make this up -- really. From our good friends at Fox News

Newt Gingrich's three marriages mean he might make a strong president -- really

I want to be coldly analytical, not moralize, here. I want to tell you what Mr. Gingrich’s behavior could mean for the country, not for the future of his current marriage. So, here’s what one interested in making America stronger can reasonably conclude—psychologically—from Mr. Gingrich’s behavior during his three marriages:

1) Three women have met Mr. Gingrich and been so moved by his emotional energy and intellect that they decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with him.

2) Two of these women felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married.

3 ) One of them felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married for the second time, was not exactly her equal in the looks department and had a wife (Marianne) who wanted to make his life without her as painful as possible.

---------------------------

Now this is from Fox News, which means this is the best damage control they can muster. Their entire argument is, essentially, that "three people wanted to marry Newt and he cheated on them." However, the author prefaces the bullet list with "So, here’s what one interested in making America stronger can reasonably conclude." I guess the reader will then think that the following list are good things? Seriously, you have to read this. Either the Republican ship is sinking faster than we thought or we have a mole at Fox News.
