@gungasnake,

That is interesting.

But what is even more interesting is that Gingrich regularly makes a monkey out of conservative Americans.

Why do you folk seem so comfortable with that?

Interesting isn't it?

This is the same Gingrich that conservatives so loudly supported when he lead the call for Clinton's impeachment on the grounds of immorality and lying . . . while cheating on his second wife.

@Questioner,

The ability of humans to justify anything when they have their minds set on it is a wonder to behold...but this thing with Gingrich and "family values" and "morals" is beyond comprehension.

But...!

Lying under oath is a bit different than cheating on a spouse don't you think

@H2O MAN,

Not if what you're lambasting a man for is the exact same thing you're doing.

Not any more than being the first Speaker of the House in history to be reprimanded for ethics violations.

Not any more than taking 1.6million to advocate Frannie and Freedie, two companies he later denounced as being largely responsible for the financial crises.

Calling for the imprisonment of Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd for their role in supporting Frannie and Freedie just as he had done.

So yes, lying under oath is abhorrent. Being a Serial Hypocrite is apparently Republican.

But it's not the exact same thing.

They did disbar the clown for that. I've not heard of Gingrich being disbarred recently, have you?

Quote:

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was paid between $1.6 and $1.8 million in consulting fees by Freddie Mac according to officials within the organization, Bloomberg reports.

What, exactly, Gingrich did for Freddie Mac during the eight years he worked with them is the subject of dispute. During the recent CNBC debate, Gingrich said he worked for the firm as a “historian” who warned them about the housing bubble and advised them that their lending practices were “insane.”

Sounds like at least a million and a half or so worth of good advice to me at least. Dodd and Frank on the other hand were the two most major enablers of FREDDIE/FANNIE and the two chief architects of all the present financial grief and prison is way the **** too good for them. In a rational world they'd be in cages at the National Zoo with the bars welded shut so people could come and look at them.

I'm sure that gunga is able to perform that trick!

@joefromchicago,

Geez, do you have no imagination?

If the Democrats were really so "appalled" at Newt's "infidelity" and "lying" and "requests for an open marriage" then obviously they could have sent him to law school, and then once he passed the bar, THEN disbar him.

Obviously.

Disbarring a non-lawyer? A thought like that can only live in a the head of a person who might think we need to pass bills re-affirming we are still "One nation under God."

Gingrich made a monkey out of CNN's John King and he will easily do the same with Obama.

@H2O MAN,

There's still what I'd view as a 50% shot that the dems are gonna throw Bork Obunga under the bus and we're gonna see debates between Newt and Hillary KKKlintler.

Quote:

.....He was five and she was six
They rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight

Bang bang she shot him down
Bang bang he hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang Vince Foster hit the ground.

Mansions, limos, seasons blurr,
Slick porked his girls and he porked her
Yet she would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang I shot you down
Bang bang you hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang Vince Foster hit the ground....

Power, money, intrigue and
the one day trips to Switzerland
Unlaundered money in a bag
So heavy that it made him sag

and then that final, fateful day,
he knew too much, and heard her say

Bang Bang.......
