Many House Republicans said they had trouble reconciling their leaders' characterization of Gingrich's rules violations as tantamount to a jaywalking ticket and the magnitude of the penalty. "That argument loses its steam [when] you talk about $300,000," said Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.).

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.

Oh look! There's ex-Rep Sanford now on a beach in Argentina, with his mistress! Let's ask him what shade of gray he prefers..."
