I was just reading about this in The Guardian and an opinion given for his admission is to prepare the ground for a crack at the 2008 elections - all skeletons out of the closet so to speak.

He was quoted as saying this in The Guardian:

There are times when I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards.
 
So, he's invoking an invisible non-specific deity to garner a spot of sympathy. For fucks sake.

Clinton was not impeached for his relationship with Lewinsky. He was impeached because he went before a court of law and lied about it, coerced others to lie, and obstructed a federal investigation.
Newt had an affair, but he didnt break any law covering it up.

Same thing with Nixon, it wasn't the actual crime that he got burned for....it was the cover-up.

JULIE YOU MAKE ME PUKE, YOU DONT FUCKING GET IT DO YOU?????

1)There was no blue dress mentioned in the article.
2) Newton did not smoke cigars.
3) the liberal media didn't report on it so obviously it is bashing
4) his sister is a fag, but she's a liberal democrat
5) you have no cites from the right, only liberal reality sites or the news media that is commonly cited by the republican and leftists that have obviously been doing the keen job
6) it does not say whether his cunt was shaved, because that little fucking dickweed was certainly a good for nothing cunt, and so I can --
never mind, to be of such luminous presence as those that would back a retarded fucking coward whos claim to fame is that he has bankrupted companies as well as entire countries economies and can stand there in a tie and tell you why this is good, and has such eminent backers as drug addicts and neo-conservatives that cannot make a living in the real world unless they are paid to find enemies------
and can talk and talk and talk, and are supported by brownshirts without a clue that(mostly homosexual as it can be proved that most adminsistration supporters are, only dicksuckers and not even women which would make the whole thing make sense, and not that they love sucking dicks, but are plainly so fucking stupid that------

and remember kids the only one in the entire administration with war experience is dick cheney who shot a guy in the face by mistake and ----

he he eh

thats what you guys dont understand about WMd and all that tripe

Cite?

LOL

This was a thing rumored about (and more) for years in GA during both his divorces but especially during his impeachment of Clinton and was a big factor in his divorce from Marianne. I was suprised to see the article since I could have sworn he did some sort of public confession in regard to this several years ago during the divorce when the original accusations were being made.  I'll have to go back into my AJC archives and see if I can find the article I'm remembering.

I think that when Clinton looked into the camera and *lied to the American People* that was worse than the purjery under oath.
It was quite funny though when that newscaster hinted around about Monica Lewinsky in a one on one interview (Was that Mc Neil or Lehrer?) and Clinton bursted out with ; "I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT!"
What a fuckin lowlife! lol
"The more they protested their innocence the faster we counted the silverware."




mnottertail -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 2:30:47 PM)

so, how you feeling about our war on terrorism, or is that just as vapid?

Curiously,

happypervert -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 2:39:08 PM)

I admire Newt's balls. He impeaches Clinton for getting a blowjob while having an affair of his own, and he also rose to prominence for calling out then Speaker Jim Wright for being crooked because of a lucrative book deal, and then he got his own lucrative book deal when he became speaker.

I bet he's a compassionate conservative too! Run, Newt, run!




Sternhand4 -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 2:44:04 PM)

Clinton was impeached for Perjury ( he was later disbarred for this )  and Obstruction of justice.
Only the left portrays it as an impeachment for his quest for sex

Popeye, he should never have been forced into a situation where he had to defend a private matter in public. Would you have  risked your job as one of the most powerful men in the world by being honest over a trivial matter? 99% wouldn't.

If he had lied in blair style with respect to deliberate misinformation to pave the way to invade a country and rape their resources, then I'd agree with you, but, from where I'm standing, he didn't.




KenDckey -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 2:57:42 PM)

So Newt had a blow job.   So Clinton had a blow job.   Least Newt didn't lie about it in court and cause his impeachement.




Sternhand4 -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:01:02 PM)

Ask yourself this question..
As president of the United States, you have an affair, and you know that because of your enemy's, your going to have to answer a lot of embarrassing questions.
Would you go on national television to specifically refute this?? He initiated the interview.
It shows a level of deceit that is staggering.
He knew the truth would come out. he just didn't care.

As a matter of statecraft, how could any other country look him in the eye and believe him?




ArizonaSunSwitch -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:02:41 PM)

He perjured himself defending against a sexual harassment claim. Not because republicans wanted to get him for sex. It's amazing how the same liberals that went after and tried to destroy Clarance Thomas for unsubstantiated sexual harassment claims from Anita Hill now say that in regard to clinton it's a "private sexual matter" that he had a *right* to lie about. It's funny you never here the name Paula Jones very often. It wasn't and never was about Monica practicing cigar insertion or orally servicing that embarassment of a human being.

What are you saying, then? the other one would have lied about it under impeachment (based on the fact he didn't volunteer it elsewhere), which renders Clinton's "crime" of lying about getting his cocked sucked meaningless. Best to forget it then and concentrate on the merits, or limitations, of his politics.

Cock sucking is a very convenient diversion. Let's agree that adultery ain't exactly charitable and concentrate on politics. What did Clinton do that ranks on a par with the current administration's invasion of Iraq?

I'm from another country and the perception is that Clinton has far more going for him than the current lot.

Asked about Clinton, Blair said "the best politician I've met"....asked about Bush he said "he knows his own mind". Make of that what you will, but bear in mind a mountain goat knows its own mind.




mnottertail -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:19:46 PM)

Hold the phone----

Let us sit down and reason together---

is it concieveable that the person whos job it is to plunge toilets when they plug  in the senate--- don't want a blowjob and would refuse it because of political or apolitical interest---

Hey, fuckin guys walk me thru this and how this relates?






juliaoceania -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:20:26 PM)

FR

For those who do not see the hypocrisy of this all I can say is that blind loyalty to politicians really amuses me. I do not like Clinton or NewtyBoy, but say what you will about Clinton, he never divorced his wife while she was dying in a hospital of cancer to replace her with the ho he was banging....

Just me, funny, I do not feel wrong!

And Ron, thanks for the laugh[:D]




michaelOfGeorgia -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:23:56 PM)

who really cares what famous people or politicians do...it's none of our business? Like nobody's allowed to have sex after being in the limelight.




puella -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:31:26 PM)

You know what I love, juliaoceania,

that you can not put of a legitimate post concerning hypocrisy in the Republican party without someone of that party trying to make everything in the universe about evil evil Bill Clinton.

I personally am not the biggest Clinton fan, but good lord, call a spade a spade.  Gingrich is a hypocrite.  Period. 




NorthernGent -> RE: Gingrich admits affair as he fought for Clinton's impeachment (3/10/2007 3:31:48 PM)

I don't see many 'round these parts refusing a spot of nibbling, so fair's fair.
