...and I forgot Gingrich. Marrying his teacher or something, then divorcing her when she got cancer, affairs, etc. And all while criticizing Clinton. Priceless.

Don’t repeat MSN lies. Both Gingrich and his wife admitted they were already divorcing when she got the cancer diagnosis.

A case of the lie going around the world before the truth gets off the porch.

[Marrying his teacher or something, then divorcing her when she got cancer, affairs, etc. And all while criticizing Clinton. Priceless.]


Nothing particularly scandalous about marrying people you know, until the left started in on power relations and so on. Even abandoning a spouse after a bout with illness is not all that different from trading her in for a newer model. With JFK, that occurred over days, not years.

The issue with JFK is that he is mainly famous for being young and good-looking. He backed down at Bay of Pigs, leading to the missile crisis, where he backed down again, withdrawing US nukes from Turkey. He also got Federal employees unionized, which has been a key driver of bloated Federal spending combined with increasing dysfunction. Overall, he was a president famous for being famous.

Turns out DC may be the biggest sex club on the planet.

In Gincrich’s case, the “legend” is not really accurate. He and his wife were estranged and they had both agreed to the divorce. The wife knew the paperwork was coming and knew she was going to sign off on it. It happened when she had cancer, not because of it.

The truth is a lot less tantalizing than the story.

My biggest issue with Clinton related to an Air Force General who was considered for the Chief of Staff position. He had been involved in a relationship while legally separated from his wife. His political enemies used it to disqualify him.

I would have had some respect for Slick Willy had he spoke up in defense, as this was around the same time he was playing hide the cigar with Monica.
