Rush is now reading a piece where Newt was praising Andy Stern.

Shouldn't Newt have joined Sexaholics Anonymous?

Didn’t Newt say recently that his infidelities were due to him loving his country too much and thus all the overworking?

Well thank goodness for AA.

Alcoholics Anonymous as we know it was dumbed down from its original incarnation which was unashamed to name Jesus Christ. Few people, outside of church-sponsored religious 12 step groups, know this. Which flavor Newt got involved with, Newt has not said.

Hey I’m just glad Newt got it together. Right now the only thing I care about is getting BHO out of the White Hut as quickly as possible. Newt is just the ticket.

In late November, at a televised GOP candidate forum in Iowa hosted by a Christian evangelical group—a “Thanksgiving Family Forum”—Gingrich stole the show. Asked to elaborate on his religious beliefs, he told an anecdote about “a doctor friend in Atlanta” who gave him “the two books that make up Alcoholics Anonymous”—the Big Book and the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions—and spoke movingly about how AA's principles had saved him from a professional and personal crisis two decades before.

He probably answered that way because he recently converted to Catholicism, and away from whatever religious beliefs he held two decades ago.

Well, there is a lot of useful recovery literature out there. Why limit yourself to the principles and tools of just one 12 step group?

“In the event, he opted for divorce, while his wife was hospitalized with cancer,”

How many times is this lie going to be repeated? The first Mrs. Gingrich did not have cancer. She had a tumor removed that turned out to be benign. They try to make it sound like she was having chemo or something. She is alive and healthy today.

A startling video of former House Speaker, who's enjoying a widening double-digit lead over Mitt Romney just three weeks before the Iowa Caucuses, shows the Roman Catholic convert speaking not of God or Jesus, but of a “greater authority,” as described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The Big Book is quite clear in that it speaks of God - not some greater authority. In fact, the name 'God' can be directly found in four of the 12 steps.

As for me, AA didn't save my life. God did. I just happened to find God in AA.
