Gingrich Admits to Affair During Clinton Impeachment
ABC News ^ | 3/12/07, 11:08 AM EDT | JAKE TAPPER

Posted on 09/19/2010 11:04:14 PM PDT by Terrence DoGood

Gingrich married his second wife, Marianne Ginther, months after he divorced Battley in 1981. According to Battley, Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery.

"There are things in my own life that I have gotten on my knees and turned to God and prayed about," Gingrich said.

Gingrich also acknowledged cheating on Ginther while leading the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton for allegations of perjury involving the Paula Jones sexual harassment civil case and the president's affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Gingrich argued that the Clinton case was different from his personal transgressions.

"The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," he said, arguing that Clinton had "deliberately committed perjury."

Constantly espousing family values even while he carried on an affair, Gingrich linked his party to wholesome family values and Democrats to, well, something else.

Gingrich divorced Ginther in 2000 and soon married his third wife, Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide who was in her 20s when she and Gingrich began their affair.

I agree this is an old article posted today to look like it just happened.
And Terrence has not answered your question of "why".

You should ask the mods to correct the header date.

I posted it because the date on the ABC website was dated yesterday/today! Maybe I missread, who knows? Forgive me for believing what I was seeing or worse, making a mistake.

Wow, so Newt has had a bunch of his critics and associates killed too?
Just like Bill and Hill have.

LOL! Looks like one of those “Please God, let it die!” threads (and I have had many of those)

Are you still in Afghanistan? Stay safe! Regards and respect to all!

Newt certainly squandered the leadership position that he had gained. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

I was referring to Newt’s great intelligence, combined with finger in the wind politics, combined with penis in the wind morals, just like billy.

I’m scheduled to fly out of Bagram next Tuesday, 28 September. I’m praying hard that everything goes well until I walk off that plane at BWI - back in the good old USA

Good morning!

newt told Rush, “The era of Reagan is dead”. Rush ripped him and newt reversed or tried to... but was unable. He believes in golbull warming and is close friends with pelosi. He is progressive... sad to the bone... but it is true. The man is a liar... not worthy of your trust. Have a great day.

Newt. Don’t quit your current job. You’ll never be president.

Whether this article is old or new is irrelevant. Newt is making waves like he wants to run in 2012 and that makes these confessions relevant. I’d never vote for him for these reasons alone and the democrats and MSM would tear him apart on hypocrisy if he became our presidential candidate.
