Since Newt Gingrich is back in the spotlight, I think I'll bring this up
Edited on Mon Sep-13-10 06:43 PM by Tony_FLADEM
Does anyone remember during the Clinton impeachment there was a story regarding Newt Gingrich being involved with a prostitution ring?

"Mr Flynt hired a Washington firm of former CIA and FBI officials to help him assess the responses to his ad and confirm their credibility. One of the first investigations surrounded Mr Newt Gingrich, then Speaker of the House.

Mr Flynt began negotiating with several parties, people described as having an association with a prostitution ring, for a series of credit card receipts that showed Mr Gingrich paying for services.

In the midst of that negotiation, Mr Gingrich resigned suddenly."



On Edit:

I remember watching the O'Reilly Factor one time, and this woman was talking about wasteful government spending. She mentioned that someone was using a government credit card to pay for prostitutes and I remember O'Reilly getting nervous like he knew what she was talking about.

4. I remember he wanted to shut down the U.S. Government
He demonstrated he was an America-hating terrorist long ago.

7. Come to think of it, have you ever seen Newt and David Vitter in the same place at the same time?

9. Newt resigned because he had a fake college plan. He was
collecting money and funneling it to himself instead of the so called college he was supposed to be supporting. It got so that he resigned rather than have himself investigated. That is where I think he was "cuddling" up to some of the young girls. I tried to find some thing on google. They don't tell why he resigned. But I think he was funneling all the money in to his account instead of the school. Like Hannity is funneling the money from his Navy scam into his bank account. And I never heard anything else about that. It seems our Justice Department is so damn hot and heavy trying to prove they are BIPARTISAN by going after Democrats they are letting republican crooks get off scott free.

11. Slime and sleaze = Gingrich.
After his remarks on Obama's manufactured Kenyan anti-colonialism I'm extra pissed off at Gingrich anyway.
