Maggie Haberman: "Newt Gingrich addressed his multiple nuptials and admitted affairs more head-on than he has to date, telling the Christian Broadcast Network that he sought God's 'forgiveness' for the things he did wrong and that he now has a 'great' marriage." So far.

 Hey, Collista, watch your step and whatever you do, keep him on a short leash. He's such a ketch...and it rhymes with vetch.

 
******
 I sure wouldn’t want to be Collista...She’d better keep her bags packed! For goodness sakes, Collista, don't argue with him; keep a gun handy at all times.

Finally: Hey Newtie! Keep God out of your messy life...He's not a marriage counselor nor a collector of wives. Jeez! Couldn't you just bonk 'em and be on your way? Look at the paperwork you could have avoided...the trees, the trees!

oh never mind...

    Newt when asked how he could be unfaithful and give a speech on family values: "It doesn't matter what I do," he answered. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."

Oh, you fat, ugly pig! and those are your good points.

AP: "In 1994, Gingrich responded to reports he'd had extramarital affairs while running a family-values campaign in 1978 by saying, "In the 1970s, things happened."
How profound.
