Throw Newt a Bone

Let's see, where is that bone that I can throw in Newt's direction? It must be here somewhere ...

Newt Gingrich has been in New Hampshire a lot lately, but still he had time to zip on down Bible Central and kneel at the feet of James Dobson to confess one more adulterous affair in hopes that the "public cry, grovel, beg forgiveness, and pray" strategy that comes as second nature to most all Republicans would result in the cleansing of his nonexistent soul, or in the absence of that, perhaps at least tacit acceptance of him as a possible presidential candidate.

Nope, no bone there.

Newt is a child support cheat, adulterer, oral sex fan and all around idiot, as this 1998 salon.com article describes.

Nope, no bone there.

Newt never claimed that Bill Clinton should be impeached for his adultery, but rather for the perjury that occurred when the Lewinsky question was sprung on the President while he was being questioned regarding a completely unrelated, decades old event (Whitewater) for which Clinton was never charged.

There it is. Because Newt himself was getting some extra-curricular action at the expense of wife number two (who was the extra-curricular action Newt earlier had at the expense of wife number one), Newt carefully chose to not call the kettle (Clinton) black (Newt). For that Newt, one bone for you.

Chew on that!
