Reverend Jerry Falwell Praises Newt Gingrich's Admission About Affair


LYNCHBURG, Va. — Newt Gingrich's admission of an extramarital affair as he pursued President Clinton's impeachment in the Monica Lewinsky scandal has won praise from another conservative Christian leader: the Rev. Jerry Falwell.

It's also helped to gain Gingrich an invitation to deliver the commencement address at Falwell's Liberty University. Gingrich is considered a possible Republican presidential contender, although he has not announced any intention to run.

In an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson that aired Friday, Gingrich admitted to the affair in 1998. In 2000, he divorced his second wife, Marianne, after his attorneys acknowledged his relationship with Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide now his wife.

"He has admitted his moral shortcomings to me, as well, in private conversations," Falwell wrote in a weekly newsletter sent Friday to members of the Moral Majority Coalition and The Liberty Alliance. "And he has also told me that he has, in recent years, come to grips with his personal failures and sought God's forgiveness."

7. Fuck Newt!

Or is it "Newt is a fucking hypocrite?" Yes, I think that's it.

On edit: Can you imagine some woman fucking Newt? Good God! It just goes to prove that there must be someone for everyone.

8. Every time I see this posted, along with the democrats'

snubbing of POX Noise, it leaves me breathless!

What they fail to mention, and therefore endorse, is that this was serial ADULTERY! Not le affaire, not immature intemperance, nor does this moral midget mention the sixty-some-odd "affairs" that this randy, self indulgent hound engaged in during his national political career. Not even think of mentioning, of course, the paid ones, purely business deals, under the rubric of physical fitness, no doubt.

This bastard tried to put the make on everybody!

9. Imagery analysis explains the speed of Falwell's forgiveness of Gingrich

Using overlay methods we have determined to a 99% degree of probable certainty that Falwell and Gingrich are in fact the same flabby pasty white melon headed man.
