Holier-Than-Thou Repulican Gingrich Admits Affair During Clinton Probe

WASHINGTON (March 9) - 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.

"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."

Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity.

"The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. "I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials."

Widely considered a mastermind of the Republican revolution that swept Congress in the 1994 elections, Gingrich remains wildly popular among many conservatives. He has repeatedly placed near the top of Republican presidential polls recently, even though he has not formed a campaign.

Gingrich has said he is waiting to see how the Republican field shapes up before deciding in the fall whether to run.

Hey...lookee here!

From Wikipedia...

As Hyde was publicly pursuing the impeachment of Clinton, the Internet magazine Salon.com published a story about Hyde entitled "This Hypocrite Broke Up My Family." According to the story, from 1965 to 1969, Hyde conducted an extramarital sexual affair with Cherie Snodgrass. At the time, Snodgrass was married to another man with whom she had had three children. The Snodgrasses divorced in 1967. The affair ended when Snodgrass' husband confronted Mrs. Hyde. The Hydes reconciled and remained married until Mrs. Hyde's death in 1992. The Snodgrasses remarried in 1969 but re-divorced shortly thereafter. Although Hyde was 41 years old and married when the four-year affair began, he dismissed it as one of his "youthful indiscretions."

How can he be a hyprocite if he did not lie under oath? Yer convienently forgetting the charge here was perjury and not extra marital affairs.

I like how the libs here want to put Scooter Libby six feet under for perjury, but when Clinton was committing the same felony, it was 'just about sex'. Give him a slap on the wrist and it'll be over.

Maybe with Scooter, it was 'just about a faulty memory'.

Actually, it's Cheney I'd like to see "six feet under" for obstruction of justice, not Scooter...

BTW Warpig, let's make it fair then since your throwing out analogies again:

How 'bout an Independent Prosecutor carrying on a $40 million inquiry? (complete with illegally obtained evidence unlawfully, secretly recorded by that hideous beast, Tripp).

Washington D.C. (AP) Newly declassified CIA documents reveal that John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a deranged movie fan who was jealous of the fact JFK was getting his dick sucked by Marilyn Monroe.
