MEN LIKE NEWT…

REALLY MAKE ME SICK.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged in an interview with Focus on the Family’s founder James Dobson, that “he was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair.”

He begs the forgiveness of the conservative’s of America for his indiscretions. He’s not really a hypocrite he says and he’s been down on his knees praying for forgiveness or something for his messy little personal (and professional) life that has left an ugly trail…

Gingrich, who frequently campaigned on family values issues, divorced his second wife, Marianne, in 2000 after his attorneys acknowledged Gingrich’s relationship with his current wife, Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide more than 20 years younger than he is.

His first marriage, to his former high school geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, ended in divorce in 1981. Although Gingrich has said he doesn’t remember it, Battley has said Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her while she was recuperating in the hospital from cancer surgery.

Gingrich married Marianne months after the divorce.

“There were times when I was praying and when I felt I was doing things that were wrong. But I was still doing them,” he said in the interview. “I look back on those as periods of weakness and periods that I’m … not proud of.”

Gingrich’s congressional career ended in 1998 when he abruptly resigned from Congress after poor showings from Republicans in elections and after being reprimanded by the House ethics panel over charges that he used tax-exempt funding to advance his political goals.

What a guy… Drops wife #1 while she’s recovering from cancer surgery and then marries wife #2… Dumps wife #2 while having fling (the nicer wording) with a younger, former congressional aide who soon becomes wife #3 and in the midst of screwing all the wives, he’s screwing the American taxpayers for upholding the so-called conservative “family values.”

Can you spell: H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?
