Armey: Clinton, Gingrich had affair 'bond' By: Andy Barr October 28, 2010 05:23 PM EDT
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey claims Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich developed a “bond” over the affairs they had in office, swapping stories over wine and cigars.
“Clinton found out about the Gingrich affair and called Newt over to the White House for a private meeting between the two of them,” Armey said in an interview with the World Magazine posted Thursday.
“Clinton said, ‘You and I are alike.’ Which meant, shut up about Monica or I'll start telling your story,” Armey said. “Newt and Clinton actually developed sort of a bond over it.”
Gingrich, the former Republican speaker of the House, attacked the former Democratic president for his affair with Monica Lewinsky and was later exposed as having had his own affair at the time.
“They had many meetings that we didn't know about where they'd drink wine and smoke cigars and talk about their girlfriends,” said Armey,

Some where in this story there shoud be a place for Dick Morris.
Newt should respond by endorsing Sarah Palin for 2012.
I hope it was worth never being president Newt.
I wonder if Bill offered Newt one of his 'special' cigars.
(This most recent incident of Armey's noxious behavior harkens back to the time about a dozen years ago, when Armey spread slanderous rumors about Brit Hume's son Sandy, after the latter's tragic suicide.)
Look, Newt is no way gonna be the candidate for prez in 2012, he ain’t even gonna run, so what is the point of Armey’s cheap-shot?
We’re stuck with Newt on the intellectual, thought-leadership side of the conservative movement—he’s all full of flaws but we’re gonna be associated with him in any case.
He also comes up with useful ideas and can be a fairly good attack dog when push comes to shove. So what purpose does it do our side to attack him when we know the Left will do it anyway? I don’t get this. And I don’t believe anything Armey is saying about cigars and a “mine’s-bigger-than-yours” meeting in the WH.
Armey is engaging in some sort of 8th grade catty girl talk here. How about we create the Karl Rove Award—given to the person on the right who does the best job of trashing someone else on the right
Few people in publ;ic service have disappointed me more thean Newt. Most of all, he gave the enemy the ammunition to destroy him. That cost the Republic dearly, at the worst time possible—1994 to 2000.
Agreed, nothing about it rings true nor is it timely.
And now we know why Newt seemed to never be able to resist Clintoon. He gave in on everything, once he and Sick Willie met to discuss.
Gad, what characters!
Wouldn’t doubt it at all.
Which is why I’m convinced Obama has something on Lindsay Graham.
Okay, I’ll say it. Clinton, Gingrich and Morris participated in a circle jerk.
No profanity here. Unless you know what I’m talking about. And trust me, I’ve never participated.
I guess we forget what happened to his replacement, Bob Livingston.
Everyone has something on Light in the Loafers Graham.
I wish Armey would dish ALL the dirt on Newt, so we can be so repulsed as to be finished with him once and for all. Frankly, his Dede Scozzafava betrayal ought to have been enough.
Wow. I sure had forgotten. But Newt’s promise was much greater.. What i was referring to was the ethics investigations surrounding his book deal. The one thing that stuck was the Renewing America college course (tax exempt used for political purposes). David Bonior threw everything at him and that’s the only thing that stuck. But it led to his downfall. Newt was in the crosshaors the minute he took out Jim Wright. He should have known better.
On Livingston: (Wikpedia)
“Livingston, considered a formidable lobbyist, was identified by Jonathan Tilove of the New Orleans Times-Picayune as supporting U.S. Representative Anh “Joseph” Cao.”
Sickening.
