The Newt -- "Marriage equality a temporary aberration"
ugh -- fortunately, he's a temporary aberration.

(from @Gottalaff...)

Taegan has this lovely little quote from Newt Gingrich, the guy whose marriages– and I use the term loosely– were all aberrations:

“I believe that marriage is between a man and woman. It has been for all of recorded history and I think this is a temporary aberration that will dissipate.”


– Newt Gingrich, quoted by the Des Moines Register, on gay marriage.

7. Flashback: Gingrich admits to affair while leading the impeachment of Clinton for having an affair
Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity.

"The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. "I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17527506/ns/politics/t/gingrich-admits-having-affair-clinton-era/


Fact: Clinton was never so much as indicted for perjury or any other crime.

8. Anyone willing to take bets
on how long the trophy wife hangs around? According to a thread yesterday, he's pretty much washed up, living donation to donation.

18. Homosexual marriage is part of fairly recent history if we go by Vatican records ....
It takes a bit of time to oppress a whole class of people --

but it did benefit the church in the area of procreation and new members!

Newt is an idiot -- but a very dangerous one -- he's as good a RW propagandist

as Frank Luntz --

and btw, had a funny email from Alan Grayson on Luntz the other day --
