Since Newt Gingrich has been visible lately...does anyone

[Tony_FLADEM]

remember the allegation that the reason he resigned was because there were credit card recipts showing he was involved in a D.C prostitution ring.

Whatever became of that?

[coloradodem2005]

1. I did not know that.

I thought he retired because the Republicans were gettin hurt in the 1998 elections.

2. It was in the Irish Times

5. "Why Gingrich Really Quit"

3. Didn't he leave his wife, a bed-ridden cancer victim, to persue an affair

with a much younger woman?

Either way, there is major ammo against him, should he again run for public office.

4. Yeah, and he left that one too

for the newer improved model. She makes #3.

Meanwhile, he was getting BJs under his desk because for Southern Boys, that's not really "sex," if you catch my meaning.

Another chapter in Repuke Family Values.

7. R family values

Wife 2 had just been diagnosed with early MS when he dumped her for an intern. The affair with a subordinate had been going on throughout Clinton's impeachment, and I'm sure many in the media must have known.

He didn't support x-wife #1 and children, and she had to rely on their church for money to keep a roof over their heads while she recovered from cancer therapy, so the church threw Newt out.

6. Just because Newt ain't around doesn't mean that he's not up to no good...

That SOB has been a major architect the whole RW takeover. His infamous talking-points memo included the demonization of the term "liberal."

Newt has had a weed up his fanny about Medicare for decades, wanting to privatize it, and late last year his pal Bill Novelli (CEO of AARP, and who wrote an intro for Newt's book) sold out AARP for Newt, backing the Repbulican legislation. The door is now open for big business to absolutely sack Medicare.

Newt, like rust, never sleeps.
