Newt Gingrich committed adultery because he's a good American

[Poiuyt]

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is in the early stages of a presidential campaign, spoke in an interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network about his history of adultery and divorces. And as Gingrich told it, he sought God's forgiveness -- and as for the events themselves, they were driven by how hard he was working and his great passion for America.

"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.

1. Hey newtie the only passion you felt was the lust in your groin

[lpbk2713]

2. That Newt, he's such a patriot.... LMAO

While he was campaigning to get Bill Clinton impeached ... and while his wife (at the time) was in the hospital hanging on after cancer surgery, Newt was out in the parking lot getting hummers from his main squeeze. And I'm not talking about gas hogs here either. They were even caught in the act once by his daughter.


Yup. That Newt. He's such a great guy.

3. You are weak and feeble minded, Newtie...

"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."

Has he been taking word salad lessons from Sarah?

[RainDog]

4. and he wants to fuck over the middle class and he'll call them in the morning

and his corporate masters won't come in the mouth of America, either (yeah, intentionally repulsive) because they are.

5. Newt, if you had the time to go out, wine and dine and get some on the side,

You weren't working terribly hard at all.

I've worked hard Newt, eighty plus hours a week, and let me tell you, the last thing on my mind was sex. About all I had time for was eating and a little sleep.

[malaise]

6. They were driven by how hard he was working

That obviously did not apply to Bill CLinton.

FUCK YOU NEWT - you flaming fucking hypocrite. FUCK YOU 10,000 times!!

[IggleDoer]

7. Is he having an extramarital affair now?

... or does he just hate America?

[cognoscere]

8. And Henry Hyde was fucking some guy's wife

because it was a youthful indiscretion, even though he was 44 at the time. If the average life expectancy for his generation was 72, that puts him way past youth and almost out of middle aged and into old age. Republicans - why tell the truth when lies will take you so much farther?

9. "I was doing them." True dat. nt

[Horse with no Name]

10. Tell the truth Nutty Newtie

You were using Clinton's blowjob as performance porn to get you going. You know it, go ahead and admit it.

[Bozita]

11. Just like Charlie Sheen!

[NoGOPZone]

12. So what's he saying? The Seventh Commandment doesn't apply to hard workers? nt

[ljm2002]

13. "I worked far too hard..."

"...and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."

Yep, that's the ticket. "Things happened. It wasn't anything I did, it was non-volitional, it was a side effect of my upstanding patriotic dedication to all that makes this country great, I tells ya."

Hilarious. Consider the case of Bill Clinton and the impeachment hysteria -- is Newt prepared to make the case for Bill as well? Seems he may have already done so.

14. FAIL

[Mnemosyne]

15. Hypocrite. n/t

[gratuitous]

16. So, if he's not cheating on the fourth Mrs. Gingrich

Is it safe to assume that he no longer loves America?

[elocs]

17. Maybe he should be newtered. n/t
