Gingrich was pressed yesterday about his extramartial affairs by a forum audience member.
His response should have been “Less often than Bill Clinton”.
If that’s the standard, Gary Hart might be president!
It really is funny the way the Left deals with these things – if it’s a Dem accused of this type of thing, we’re supposed to understand that this is a private, personal matter, and none of anyone else’s business. It’s between him & his wife, we’re told. But they go looking for any Conservative politician that isn’t squasky-clean and act outraged if he isn’t. That’s not to defend Newt – he’s made mistakes & will have to own up to them & possibly pay the price politically. But let’s have it go both ways – if this is indeed a deal-breaker, then it should be the same regardless of political affiliation.
Left or right: Politicians should be accountable for their behavior. It becomes everyone’s business when a politician of any stripe lays such behavior out there as a standard.
