How totally unethical and dishonest was Newt Gingrich?

Question

When he pursued impeachment of Bill Clinton while he was engaged in EXACTLY the same behaviour as Clinton was at the time?
Gingrich has told a Christian group he was engaged in a extra marital affair during the Clinton hearings

By the way I find his defense of himself deplorable, Newt was definately he who cast the first stone

Because he wasn't hounded with a 7 year $70,000,000.00 invsetigation that only produced infidelity, and if Clinton's perjury is the issue then the right should stop belly aching about Scooter then RIGHT?

Answer 1

Ironically, Monica Lewinsky was a done deal before Clinton was elected who wanted her 15 minutes of fame! Good ole Newt was banging someone other that his wife WHILE he was Speaker of the House AND going after Clinton for something he was doing at the time!

An ultimate Republican hypocrite!

Here's the kind of guy he is and the last is the one he was cheating with, however, it was not his first trip to the well!

[[Anne Manning]] had an affair with Gingrich in 1977. Manning stated in a 1995 Vanity Fair article: "We had oral sex. He prefers that ''modus operandi'' because then he can say: 'I never slept with her.'" {{cite web | title = Paying Lip Service| work = Village Voice | url = http://www.villagevoice.com/news/9806,ledbetter,124,1.html | date = [[1998-02-04]] | accessdate = 2007-03-08}}

Gingrich divorced Jackie Battley in 1980, serving her with divorce papers and forcing her to negotiate the terms of their divorce settlement while she was in the hospital after cancer surgery. He refused to pay alimony or child support. {{Fact|date=March 2007}}

Gingrich married [[Marianne Ginther]] in late 1981. {{cite web | title = Good Newt, Bad Newt| work= Vanity Fair (via PBS) | url= http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newt/boyernewt1.html}}
They divorced in 1999, reportedly because of Marianne's dislike of Washington and Gingrich's time away from home. Marianne was quoted in a 1995 article in Vanity Fair as saying: "I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be." {{cite web | title = The Inner Quest of Newt Gingrich| work= Vanity Fair (via PBS) | url= http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newt/vanityfair1.html | date = [[2000-09]] | accessdate = 2007-03-08}} He divorced her.

Gingrich later married [[Callista Bisek]], a House aide 23 years his junior, with whom he had an extramarital affair during his marriage to Marianne Ginther (as revealed in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson).
Mr. Gingrich resides in Virginia with Callista, who appears with him on the back cover of his book "Winning the Future". {{cite web | title = Gingrich weds in simple ceremony| work= CNN.com (via AP) | url= http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/08/19/gingrich.wedding.ap/ | date = [[2000-08-19]] | accessdate = 2007-01-29}}

Answer 2

Everyone now knows the witch hunt the Repuglicans went on to attack Clinton was a waste of time and money and was directly responsible for 9/11 by distracting the country. The Newt was the ring-leader in this witch hunt and now he is shown to have been a hypocrite. Clinton did lie about something that should have been a private matter between him and his wife but to compare that to the lies the Bush adminstration has made is silly. Clintons lie did not lead to the deaths of over 3000 American troops and the countless deaths in Iraq. The Bush lies did I'm afraid.

Answer 3

The bad thing is, the Christan's will not care, because he will kiss their butts. They will condemn Clinton and praise newt....Newt is the poster boy for conservative hypocrisy. Claim one position and live another. This is why they need the fundie sheep to support them. If you have half a brain you can see thru their garbage. The sheep just fall behind them and think everything is alright.

Answer 4
