Gingrich, Holy Hypocrite

Newt's been in the news lately because of his admission to James Dobson of the extramarital affair he had while he was impeaching President Clinton for affair with Monica Lewinsky. Before we discuss that, let's review a few facts about Gingrich. From the Wikipedia:

In 1962, Gingrich married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old; she was seven years his senior at 26 years old.[5][6] They had two daughters together. Gingrich and Battley divorced in 1980. Battley has charged that Gingrich discussed the terms of their divorce settlement while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery.[7] According to L.H. Carter, his campaign treasurer, Newt said of Battley: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."[8] He refused to pay alimony or child support.[9]

So now we learn that while Gingrich was putting the screws to Clinton for Lewinsky, Gingrich himself was putting his parts where they didn't belong behind the back of wife number 2 (with the woman that became wife number 3). This same man has written a book titled Rediscovering God In America. Those sins, magnified by hypocrisy, should be enough to doom any man from attaining the highest office in the land, but Gingrich knows his audience. Dobson and his ilk would forgive you of raping babies in the public square if you said you'd prayed about it, would lower their taxes and outlaw abortion.

And his plan is working. Jerry Falwell has invited Gingrich to deliver the commencement address at Liberty University, and has said that he believes Gingrich has "come to grips with his personal failures and sought God's forgiveness"
