Hot off the press from The Associate Press (published in the New York Times on March 9, 2007) is the article, "Gingrich Says He Cheated on His Wife"
.
An article that states:
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged he was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group."
I find the suggestion that Gingrich was going after Clinton for doing the same thing as he to be both inappropriate and misleading. Perhaps some do not remember, but it was PERJURY that was the issue being addressed. President Clinton lied under oath. An act that is taken seriously when done by someone other than him.
Pointing this out does not condone Gingrich's inappropriate behavior.
On the other hand, to suggest that Gingrich was going after Clinton for like behavior is liken to an attempt of down-grading the seriousness, and all the while distorting the truth, about what Clinton did. There is no getting around it -- he (Clinton) lied under oath and he lied to the American people. That needs to remembered for the importance it was and is!... not something to be swept under the rug by misleading suggestions.
