Sorry, Newt: you invented that issue in presidential politics.




NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in Nashville that the personal lives of White House hopefuls shouldn't become an issue in the 2008 campaign.

Earlier this month Gingrich said he was seeking forgiveness for his own extramarital affair committed while he pursued President Clinton's impeachment in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Since the announcement, Gingrich said he's received a positive response from colleagues and others.

He's considering a race for the presidency. Gingrich was in Nashville Tuesday night to speak at Vanderbilt University.



on Edit: Remember THIS?



He's a liar, a hyprocrite and a CRYBABY! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

:rofl:

[havocmom]

1. ... unless they are Democratic candidates

What a wanker the newt is.

[bullimiami]

2. it is to laugh.

[July]

30. I love that expression.

And, oh yes, it is.

[WI_DEM]

3. I'm sure he only means the private lives of Republicans, not Democrats.

[GCP]

4. Hypocrisy they name is Newt - how very apt that he's named after a reptile!

:rofl:

[The Count]

5. famous last words....

[npincus]

35. love that graphic

[rec_report]

6. That's got to be the mega barf alert of 2007! n/t

[robinlynne]

7. Good luck with that!

[Fridays Child]

8. And every Fox News-watching American zombie seconds that.

Fox News and right wing radio must be destroyed (in my humble opinion).

[Skidmore]

9. Too bad he didn't think about that back in...oh, say about, 1998 or so.

It's called karma, Newtie. Bad karma. And it'll come back to bite you in the tush every time.

Who's crying now?

[zbdent]

26. he should have thought about that before he did a lot of stuff

that he would later impeach a President for ... hell, even less ...

[npincus]

10. on top of that, he's a CRYBABY:

"Boo hoo... Clinton made me sit all the way in the back of the plane..."


on edit: too rich... I had to add it in the OP.

[sueh]

11. Newt, you need a taste of your own medicine...

and I will be glad to administer it to you.

[blondeatlast]

12. How very, um, hypocritical of you...

[Lil Missy]

13. Unbelievable.

Isn't Newt the one who said years ago that he only regretted the new Republican Congress was not taught to be more mean? (Or something like that?)

[Demobrat]

14. How do these hypocrites look in the mirror every day

and excuse their behavior to themselves? I'd really like to know the secret.

[malaise]

15. Fugg that newt n/t

[Horse with no Name]

16. This is Biblical, really.

"As you reap, so shall you sow".
And the crop that you have sown is hatred and poison politics.
Happy Harvesting!

[Benhurst]

17. The Republicans had better hope not, given the the scumbags the GOP has put forward for the public.

:rofl:

[LibDemAlways]

31. They're a "family values" bunch, all right. Between

the three of them Newt, Ghouliani, and McCain have had 8 wives, some of which they've shed with no more concern or interest than they would taking out the trash. "Scumbags" all.

[Old and In the Way]

18. The Newt is changing his colors.

How adaptable.

[npincus]

20. yet his ex-wives have thrown in their support:

[riderinthestorm]

19. Too fucking rich. Oh the irony. nt

[Nikki Stone1]

21. If anything proves the neocons have no principles (unless they apply to other people)

This is it.

[TygrBright]

22. A newt not even Gussie Fink-Nottle could love. n/t

[cascadiance]

23. If Newt wins and we don't have a clear Dem winner, we should draft Russell Feingold then!

Then Russ's marital history and his religion would be "according to Newt", OFF THE TABLE! :)

[peacetalksforall]

24. The propensity for delusion combined with arrogance is absolutely mind

boggling, head shaking ridiculous and incredible.

He came into power because the entire horrendously large war machine that he belonged to went to work to destroy a man, a family, a law career, a Presidency. They never succeeded in most of it and now he is saying that he should be protected from all that?

How can you get more balls than he has?

[Zenlitened]

28. I don't think it's 'balls' that he has. I think it's a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit.

That man is NOT SANE.

:hide:

[Virginia Dare]

25. That's fucking hilarious..

he needs to take that act out on the road.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Zenlitened]

27. Priceless!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[geardaddy]

29. Suck it Newt n/t

[Cha]

32. Idiot, ginchrich.

That's all I need to know.

[wicket]

33. In my best churchlady voice:

Well isn't that convient?!

[Dr Fate]

34. Suure Newt. Go ahead & run. We wont say another thing about it.

Go RIIIIGHT ahead-Water under the bridge. ;)

[BlooInBloo]

36. Says the impeach-for-lying-about-sex fuckwipe.

[ncteechur]

37. Is he FUCKING KIDDING???

[Colobo]

38. Really, Newt? Don't wanna get called on your shit, don't ya?

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

39. If I were his opponent, and I ha donly one marriage,

I'd make it a subtle issue every time I spoke.

Any sort of "marriage amendment" debate, I'd talk about divorce rates and the harm to American families.

I'd talk about selfishness, careerism (at the expense of family), mid-life crises, projection of self-hatred posing as moral rectitude (heh, he, I said rectitude).

I wouldn't let this smarmy bastard get 5 minutes into a debate without subtly reminding him of his desertion of family, fidelity, and self-sacrifice.

Newt is a dangerous, self-consumed, dangerous man. Complete pathological narcissist. Haven't' we had enough of narcissists? How many years has it been now? Since Carter?

[Ikonoklast]

40. His desperation is palpable

He is so yesterdays' news, still pathetically trying to be relevant as his megalomania propels him toward a future that only he can discern.

No longer the Republick Wunderkind, more the poster boy of their own hubris.

Reaping a harvest of bitter fruit from the poison seed sown by his own hand.

[Colobo]

42. As O'Reilly, who loves Gingrch, said

Gingrich's time has passed, and he knows it.

[dysfunctional press]

41. newt has absolutely NO chance at sitting in the BIG chair.

and the longer it takes him to realize it, the funnier the lead up is going to be.

[Generic Brad]

43. That is code for: If Hillary wins the nomination, they will attack her husband's personal life

Bill Clinton is not a candidate but it is pretty much a given that his personal life will be an enormous issue to the Republicans in the event his wife wins the Democratic nomination.

[LibDemAlways]

44. If Hillary gets the nomination, expect FAUX to pre-empt

everything else and play the "I did not have sex with that woman" snippet in a continuous loop until election day.
