    Yup. According to Wikipedia:

    According to L. H. Carter, Gingrich’s campaign treasurer, Gingrich said of Jackie: “She’s not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer.”[269][270] Newt has denied saying it.[266]

    That was his first wife he cheated on. But his second wife got the same treatment:

    Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[280]

    He met his current wife because she was a House staffer, and carried on another affair while impeaching Bill Clinton over… well. you know. That marriage has lasted 20+ years.

    Isn’t it always the case that the most vocal people about moral issues are also the ones with the longest “Personal Life” section on Wikipedia?
