No, that was wife number 1.
The stuff during the Clinton years, as I recall, was with wife #2 (the one he turned to while wife number 1 was recovering from cancer) and one of his staffers... but after he had seperated from wife #2.
Newt is NOT a saint and has never pretended to be one. He also has not lied under oath about it, like Klntoon did.
Gingrich is, however, one of the most brilliant minds in the conservative movement.
Do you think anyone should dismiss Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson for their "moral failings?"
I can't argue about whether Newt has a brilliant mind or not...I will take your word for it...but,
Right now, he is running for POTUS, so I listen to his remarks with an ear toward what his GOAL is in taking a position...and I find him finding clever ways to fence sit..while accusing both sides of not being as smart as he is.
LOL!!
I agree that Newt has a grasp on politics better than most anyone except ROVE...
he can do a decent job of slapping the best strategy down...
but I can certainly call him a scumbag too, eh?
LOL!
Lots of scumbags are smart and don't lie under oath..
