“Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said that had he known what was in the ethics committee’s report, he would not have voted for Gingrich as speaker. “The gray got grayer when you read the report,” he said. “When I think of my three boys and what kind of example I want to set for them for leadership in this country, gray is not the example.”
Wow, is that the pot calling the kettle black or not. The recently discredited governor with his South American lover. I’m sure if the SC voters would have known he was a philanderer, they wouldn’t have voted for him as governor. Unfortunately all of the idiots are not in the DimCrap party.
However, don’t misinterpret this as a defense of Newt, who may well be ne(u)wtered before all this race is over.
Yes, the point was that at the time the Republicans were the ones strongly behind getting Gingrich out. In fact, that’s why he resigned later. His own party couldn’t stand him.
Those who think Gingrich is going to go to Washington and do all these marvelous things must think his reputation within the party is all fixed now and he has become an inspiring, unifying leader rather than the trainwreck he became as Speaker.
