    Telling people to lie is a really bad look. Doesn’t matter where you are on the political spectrum.

    I’m with y’all, I’m more disappointed that he’s still stealing oxygen. At least Rush and Kissinger had the decency to finally kick it before fascism became so goddamn close to reality

    Relatively high percentage of those wives he cheated on were dying of cancer at the time as well, yes?

    It’s just crazy to me that he found at least 3 women interested in having sex with him. He has the sexual energy of a rotten pumpkin. Just completely unfuckable (but apparently not?)

    Wasn’t one of his wives dying of cancer at the time he was cheating on her?

      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?

      AT LEAST. He may have already cheated on his third wife and it simply hasn’t been made public.

    Thats a name I could do without hearing ever again. One of the main proponents of the “my way or go fuck yourself” politics that we are now stuck with…

      Yup, I had to laugh when a lot of future magabrainz, but who called themselves teabaggers at the time, were telling each other and anyone else that would listen that Obama was so “divisive”. What they really meant was that Obama was a nKLANGer, as well as being uppity, oops, I mean, “arrogant”, as they would update it.

      Meanwhile, for anyone that cared to look would easily know that the two people most responsible for any division in the country were Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Newt actually had classes on sowing division.

    Thanks Newt, please do spread the message that women don’t need to vote like their husbands
