even [though], with clinton it was really about perjury Ita wasn't about perjury or morality. It was about politics, about weakening your opponent and removing him from power.

And I should care about this because? If the Clinton scandals and behavior are going to be an issue in the 08 campaign, perhaps we'd be wise to choose a candidate who doesn't neutralize this.

That's funny; nice catch.

I did a search and nothing came up...I asked the Admin to remove it.Well I didn't see the other one and probably wouldn't have found it. Not all of us have time to scan through 300 articles - lol. Good post.

He was being challenged for the leadership position, wasn't he? And he just quit, the end.Newt's not dumb by any stretch and getting out front now, before he announces ( if he's going to announce ) is pretty smart.
Let the media have a small run with this and later he can say everyone knows, I admitted it twice now, once in 1998 and now in 2007, twice in a decade publicly, when is enough ..enough?

Now I don't know all of what Newt said to Dobson but this is one of those rare instances where the MSM is actually using the word "perjury" to describe what Clinton was really on trial for. Too many people in this country believe that Clinton's impeachment hearing arose because of his affair alone -- as if having an affair was a crime. The MSM has never tried to correct this misperception...hell, I think they were actively trying to create the misperception before and during the hearing.

I forgot to mention -- at it was the key point I intended to make: even though they are mentioning the word "perjury" while they quote Newt, why use an ellipses? What context was not retained? I ask only because it seems to me that much of the meaning was taken away; maybe by including the full text this quote would have more clarity and a sharper barb. Just a hunch.

Hardly news. Everyone knew this was a big part of his resignation.

What's disheartening is the palpable hypocrisy of folks who were with the "Character matters" crowd, and now are with the "Go Newt Because You Talk Read Good!" crowd.
I was with the "Character matters" crowd.
Still am. It still does.
The flip makes us look like hypocrites. Worse, it makes us look like Dems.

And I should care about this because?Because if he emerges as a potential presidental candidate you can rest assured that the Democrats know all the details already and would release them at the appropriate time to do the most damage, unlikely as his presidential candidacy it would be, since Gingrich is damaged goods anyway.

Drives me nuts that reporters "forget" that Clinton was impeached for lying NOT for having an affair.
Yet they seem to gleefully point out that Libby was convicted for lying.
Clinton comitted no crime, but Libby did?
And they can do it with a straight face. Libs are insane!

He was asked by his own caucus to step down for the five seat lost in 98 it had nothing with him cheating on his wife

>>>Dust the dirt off this old story! Wow! Can the MSM be any more obvious???
Is Focus on the Family now part of the MSM? It was an interview with Dobson that brought this story to light, not an inquiry from the MSM.
"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."

So what? Clinton was impeached not because he had an affair but because he committed the crimes of perjury and obstruction of justice from the White House while trying to deny fellow citizen, Paula Jones, a fair trial in federal court.

The most amazing thing about all this is that Newt's a horndog! Cool... where I once faced darkness, I now see a glimmer of light.
