Gingrich had affair during Clinton probe

[jaysunb]

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged he was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group.
"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."

Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity.

5. Well, duh!!! And he screwed her in the Speeeeekah's OFFICE!!!

AND she was ON HIS STAFF...

In more ways than one...

AND, she 'stipulated to sexual contact' with Newt at his divorce trial, in order not to have to describe some of the (Lewinsky-ish) things she and Newt got up to....

That indiscretion made the SECOND Mrs. Newt a very, very wealthy woman, indeed.

As for the 'affair?' He married her. She's Calista, Missus Newt Number Three.

And, on edit....she's (surprise, surprise!) MUCH younger...
