The fact that you think that needs “defending” is the whole problem. Santorum was bringing up Gingrich’s unfortunate commercial with Nancy Pelosi about Global Warming. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to bring up, it is a fair attack on Gingrich, even though Gingrich has admitted it was a mistake to do so — just because you admit a mistake doesn’t mean it is off-limits to mention it again.
Nobody would think Gingrich was sexually involved with Pelosi. Well, at least until this thread I wouldn’t have expected it.

He says: “I didn’t sit on the couch with anybody.I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women — particularly not Nancy Pelosi.”
Interpretation- He’s a faithful husband who only sits on a couch with his wife.The predicate is thus fidelity - no other possible interpretation when he introduces his “wife” and “other women”.
He then injects Pelosi- that can only lead to one further identification- Gingrich.
Thus, he is the faithful who only sits on a couch with his wife, as opposed to the identified Gingrich who sits with other “women”.
As i indicated in the thread, I’ve never objected to Santorum speaking to Gingrich/Pelosi and global warming. That’s factual.
This is an undisguised reference to Gingrich’s marital problems- it’s a personal attack on a “friend”-— and thus, classless!
