Gingrich: Past Adultery 'Partially Driven By How Passionately I Felt About This Country'

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is in the early stages of a presidential campaign, spoke in an interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network about his history of adultery and divorces. And as Gingrich told it, he sought God's forgiveness -- and as for the events themselves, they were driven by how hard he was working and his great passion for America.

"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate," said Gingrich. "And what I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them.

"I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there's a forgiving God. Somebody once said that when we're young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy. There's something to that, I think.

1. And Palin told lovers to reload

[rfranklin]

2. Wrap her in the flag and fuck her for your country...

as the old saying goes.

[DirkGently]

3. You make it sound so empty . . .

[xchrom]

8. +1

[LynneSin]

21. Just like his so-called 'family values'

empty, harsh and de-void of humanity

[DirkGently]

29. Supposedly he told (one) wife that it doesn't matter what he DOES; his words are a gift to the world

Or some similar I-am-divinely-chosen-to-lead-and-be-wealthy. blather. I quite seriously think this is a common mania among modern American conservatives. The Family, anyone? "Gov." Walker?

[Ninga]

4. Kinda catchy don't you think.? He's toast.

[queenjane]

13. Don't kid yourself. He is not toast.

Repugs/Teakkklanners/Fundies don't care about screwing around. Particularly since Ol' Newt says he's been forgiven by Jeezus. These rapid imbeciles voted for Reagan, for Bush Pere & Feces, for McCain and Wolf-Killer Sarah. They vote for union busting, science denying, education gutting, environment raping, animal torturing, war-mongering. As long as their candidates claim to be god-fearing, promise to outlaw abortion and deny gays civil rights, and protect us from the "evil other", the mouth-breathing, low-IQ citizenry DOES NOT CARE about their sex lives. The rich just want more money, and the rubes know they're going to the "better place", so they're not concerned at all about the consequences of their votes.

5. The GRENIS! I guess according to GRENIS' definition, then the CLENIS was

being patriotic also!

[northoftheborder]

6. Isn't that Precious.

He's been taking acting lessons. Perrrrfect inflection, facial expressions. Who does he think he's fooling????????????????

[bullwinkle428]

7. This snake-oil salesman would market stars & stripes condoms

on his website if he thought he could make money doing so!

[RedCloud]

9. he was practicing how to screw the people.

[Angry Dragon]

10. What a slithering piece of scum

[Bigmack]

11. I have refused to comment on Gingrich's...

sex life....

But....

I'm willing to bet he's a lousy fuck.

Selfish people are usually in it for MEMEMEMEME!

[LynneSin]

12. The guy probably has a running prescription for Viagra

And if I was the woman, I'd want a running prescription for Xanax

[hobbit709]

15. If I was a woman, I'd be ruuning AWAY from him.

[Erose999]

23. Guys like Newt Greengooch are why MACE was invented.

[Bigmack]

30. Oh, he can probably get it up....

just thinking of how he screwed the country.

I meant he probably isn't much of a caring lover.

Jeeeeezus, using the term "lover" associated with Gingrich made me throw up a little in my mouth.

[LynneSin]

31. probably just from looking at a photo of Ronald Reagan

:puke:

[olegramps]

14. He converted to Catholicism and Kaboom his sins were forgiven.

[deacon]

16. He's the nut in the nutshell. n/t

[pipi_k]

17. I can just imagine him in the throes of passion...

screaming out the names of all the signers of the Declaration of Independence...

[LynneSin]

18. Those people are too radical, he's probably screaming out "RONNIE OH RONNIE REAGAN!!!!!!"

:puke:

[Sal Minella]

19. " . . . when we're young, we seek justice, but as we get older,

we seek mercy."

And then there are some of us, when we're young, we seek poontang, and as we get older, we seek younger poontang.

[SpiralHawk]

20. Republicon Family Scuzzball Values

as usual...

[JohnnyLib2]

22. One of the great idiotic statements of our time.

I can hardly wait for his campaign appearances. :evilgrin: :rofl:

[JitterbugPerfume]

24. big ego,

small penis. You can count on it!

[JackDragna]

25. I forgive him completely now!

Not just for cheating on his wife, but for his general neolithic political views!

I think I'll check with my wife to see if I'm patriotic enough to fool around!

[Erose999]

26. Social conservatives are gonna flock to this tax cheat, 3 times divorced serial adulterer because

he talks the talk. It doesn't matter to them if he walks the walk. He could go down to the Dominican Republic with David Vitter, Mt. Rushbo, Mark Foley and Charlie Sheen and they could all have a 3 week "viagra/oxycontin/cocaine/hooker/pornstar/rentboy/diaper fetish" bender and that crowd would still love him.

Its the 3 G's: Guns/God/Gays. As long as you like the first two and hate the 3rd, "social conservatives" will forgive you for just about any tresspass. Because "social conservatism" doesn't have "morals" at its heart, its really just bigotry/homophobia/racism.

[CanSocDem]

27. It's an old idea.

I remember how well it worked in the movie Myra Breckinridge.
