The Hypocrisy of Newt


I’m watching the CNN Republican debate as I write this.  In the first place, I’m angry at the moderator John King for starting with a question for Newt Gingrich about his second wife’s allegations that came out today.  It gave Newt the opportunity to take the high road and point his finger at King and say he’s “APPALLED” that he would open a presidential debate with such a question,  adding that the question bordered on “despicable”.

But Newt, you didn’t answer the question.  I’d like you to explain a few things. 

Please explain why you notified your first wife of your divorce proceedings while she was recovering from cancer surgery.

Please answer the allegations that your second wife made today claiming that you asked her for an “open” marriage because you were having a long term affair with your current wife Calysta.

And most importantly, please explain how it is not the height of hypocrisy that while you were in the midst of your six year extra-marital affair with Calysta, you were leading the Republican charge to impeach President Clinton for having an affair.

So as much as you like to point fingers and yell “appalled”  I think that your unwillingness to answer the question is appalling.  

Your credibility is already compromised by your history as Speaker of the House after being overthrown by your own party and fined for ethics violations. 

Face it Newt, you are a HYPOCRITE, and I think you've made it very obvious.
