Hey, Newt: ADULTERY is a sin

Who's a total hypocrite and perv now?

Newt Gingrich, snarky Republican and neocon cheerleader - who is a perv because he married his teacher (hey, doesn't that get TONS of press right now....predator teachers? Who's the perv, the teacher or the student?), and an adulterer because he cheated on his wife - while she was undergoing cancer treatments. Now he's married to, drum roll, a younger woman. Presidential material? We think not. PS - where's the apology, Newt?

AP Reports of extramarital affairs have dogged him for years as a result of two messy divorces, but he has refused to discuss them publicly. Gingrich, who frequently campaigned on family values issues, divorced his second wife, Marianne, in 2000 after his attorneys acknowledged Gingrich's relationship with his current wife, Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide more than 20 years younger than he is.

His first marriage, to his former high school geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, ended in divorce in 1981. Although Gingrich has said he doesn't remember it, Battley has said Gingrich discussed divorce terms with her while she was recuperating in the hospital from cancer surgery. Gingrich married Marianne months after the divorce.
