"Obviously, it's complex..."

No, Newt, it's actually quite simple...

Proving, once again, politics is rock 'n' roll (or movie scale entertainment) for ugly people.

And how many, it was later revealed, were also having affairs (i.e. Livingston and Hyde).

Oh, good....that gives me a couple of years to find a new wife and cheat on her.

So they both had affairs. The difference is that Clinton lied in his deposition concerning a real estate deal that didn't really involve him anyway, and his inquisitor had to go fishing for something....<i>anything</i>......that could be used to embarrass him publicly; whereas Newt was going through a divorce involving adultery on his part, and came clean when his infidelity inevitably came up.

Newt is clearly not being given enough credit you guys. He tells the truth in divorce depositions regarding things that are germane to the matter at hand. We don't know if Clinton would have done that, since the situation was so different, but still!

The Repubicans had the House or Representatives from 1994 - 2006, the Presidency from 2001 - 2008, but everything is Clinton's fault. Or Obama's. Tens of thousands dead, billions wasted in war, trillions lost in deregulated markets, deficits forever and they still can't say "we fucked up".

hey newt! keith richards has been married to the same <i>supermodel</i> since 1983.

this means you are morally inferior to a drug addled english rockstar with a penchant for eye make-up, johnny depp and falling out of trees.

Plus, Newt is also pictured with a wife that would be gone very soon.

There are many annoying things about Newt but one that drives me up the wall is that he starts every other sentence with “The fact of the matter is…”

<i> I thought to myself if I cannot do what I have to do as a public leader, I would have resigned.</i>

You <a href="http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-srv\/politics\/govt\/leadership\/stories\/gingrich110798.htm" target="_blank">DID</a> resign, dumb ass.

The only reason they impeached Clinton was to try to get rid of the stink and embarassment of Nixon. How'd that work out for you all?

The only thing they managed to do was to make the Big Dog more popular than ever while branding themselves as blithering idiots.

I am at a loss for words to explain my disbelief in this level of hypocrisy.

I got nothing....

(These 1990s news articles are a nice little window looking into a time when the world was slightly less insane.)
