there will be people who believe them.

No, Newtie, what the media largely ignored was your own scandal of having a staffer blow you in the parking garage while you were trying to pillory Bill Clinton for getting blown in the office. They also ignored it when you dumped another wife to marry your parking garage paramour. Shame on you on all fronts.

by the media for shouting "woopee". Apparently nothing Trump done or said so far is as "disqualifying" as that, by the media's lights.

Different times. Different culture.

I'm simply amazed at how these moral republicans that are still so shocked over Bill Clinton's indiscretions are willing to vote for an obvious sexual preditor.

That is some industrial-grade amnesia (not unlike Guiliani forgetting about 9/11), especially coming from him.


I would imagine OTOH that he probably blocked out the whole affair because it came back to bite him and several other Republican members in the butt.

and the fact that he ended up in prison for violating Federal financial laws.

It was Bill Clinton morning, noon and night.

The last time I checked, we spent around $70 million to investigate WJC's "crimes". That's more money than what was spent investigating JFK's assassination, or 9/11. God, the Repukes are just ridiculous.

but here is a juicy tidbit from his article from years ago about Newt:

Democratic aides on Capitol Hill, who long had traded in gossip about Gingrich's extramarital recreations, were beside themselves with anger. From such sources, I received a number of leads and tales. My favorite was from an aide who swore she had once spotted Gingrich's pale-green Mustang bouncing up and down in an underground House parking garage, with the windows all fogged up -- signs that not-so-conservative behavior may have been occurring within.

The aide said she had tried to peer through the condensation to determine with whom Gingrich was rocking and rolling, but that she just couldn't get a clear-enough view.

After all, it could have been his wife.
