so can somone please tell me what all this baggage is?

The story is that he divorced his first wife while she was in the hospital dying of cancer, which with the proper spin sounds cold and inhuman. Then, he had an affair with his assistant and was divorced from his sweet second wife, Maryanne, after the MSM got wind of it and splashed the news all over creation. In shame he resigned his Speakership just after winning reelection, turned tail and ran from Washington. His assistant later became his third wife.

All this in light of his forcing his Democrat predecessor, Speaker Jim Wright, from power for corruption in a suspicious book deal that might have been a payoff.

your post is almost entirely incorrect -- down to the spelling of the name of wife number 2.

God forbid that conservatives support someone who got divorced and remarried, like say, Ronald Reagan?
