Newt Gingrich = S.O.B.

This little bastard has come out and admitted to a conservative Christian group (Focus on the Family) that he was having an extramarital affair AT THE SAME TIME he was leading the impeachment against Clinton. Here is his explanation:

"The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.

"I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials."

Here's the thing, if Gingrich felt that he could have an affair and still qualify as a public official then there was no reason to even begin questioning President Clinton. Gingrich is trying to excuse his own hypocrisy by saying that Clinton was impeached for perjury, but Clinton never would have perjured himself if Republicans (cheating ones at that) hadn't dug their fat noses into his personal life. But they based their investigation on the idea that one who breaks the sanctity of marriage is no longer fit to represent our country. If that's so, then everyone has to be accountable to the rule, not just people they don't like. Everyone knows the whole impeachment/scandal was simply a political strategy to undermine the Democratic party, but to find out that the very people leading the crusade had a whore or two in their own closets is really just ridiculous. I believe Ken Starr was ALSO having an affair at the time he was investigating the President.

Funny how the Christian, conservative right are able to look past their own sins and call them mistakes, but aren't able to forgive liberals, or anyone outside of their circle, for the same human errors.
