Gingrich married Marianne months after the divorce.


I think people are forgetting that important part. Clinton never divorced or left his wife over his affairs. (nor she for her rumored affairs)


Hilary Clinton stay married for her love of power. NOBODY in the MSM (ap/yahoo) ever mentions they live 100% seperate lives. When was the last time they just LIVED together? Clinton continues to "date" and the MSM only hints to the coverage.

But that is ok because her thighness is running for office.


Speaker Gingrich did pay the price for his actions, he paid in his divorce, he paid with his resignation.


Clinton lied under oath, wagged his finger, sent his friends out to repeat the lie, and only regrets a blue semen stained dress prevented him from tossing an intern aside with the rest of the bimbo erruptions.

I was not aware that Gingrich resigned because he was having an affair.

If I understand correctly, Gingrich married Marianne Ginther months after the divorce from Jackie Battley, which was in 1981. He resigned in November 1998 and divorced Marianne in 1999.

I've known married couples that have cheated on their spouses, and then married their lovers. It is uniformly a bad idea. While I have no respect for the sham marriage that the Clintons maintain, which is clearly free of love or forgiveness, I can't say that Newt is really any more honorable or smart in his business.

I mean, it's nice that he's coming clean 10 years later, and with a Presidential election that he may run in looming. It just feels a little contrived. If he were an "I don't care what you do in your off time so long as you do good work" kind of guy, this would have no traction. As it is, he happens to be Newt Gingrich. I don't think that the public is going to overlook that.

"Speaker Gingrich did pay the price for his actions, he paid in his divorce, he paid with his resignation."

WHAT?

I think you got that WRONG. His ex wife paid. He got to enjoy the fruits of his affair, instead of doing the hard work of reconciling with his wife and putting the affair behind him.

I know of more than a couple of marriages where one partner has cheated, and gone on to repent and restore his marriage.
