Caught with your pants down? In flagrante delicto? Ask yourself if this is the sort of explanation that might fly with your wife or significant other...
"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate." -- former House Speaker and likely presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on his notable (and notorious!) tendency to stray from his marital vows.
If this were true, then Bill Clinton is the most patriotic man in the history of the United States.
From the comments, "thepoliticalcat" gives the full run-down on the patriotic Mr. Gingirch's sordid "romantic" history:
"...he pursued [wife #1] avidly (he was 16 at the time and she was in her early 20s, 23, IIRC), but later lied about his age (though not hers). He claimed he was 18. So he marries his high-school teacher, has kids with her, dumps her when she gets cancer (the very day after she had uterine surgery) to marry #2, whom he's been schtupping all along, and then when #2 gets diagnosed with MS, he dumps HER (on Mother's Day, no less) over the phone while she's at her Mom's, telling her he's planning to marry the intern he's been schtupping all along. Charming fellow."
The only thing missing from this succinct synopsis is a reminder that all the while Newt's salamander was making the rounds, he was leading the charge to impeach Bill Clinton for schtupping Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. Mark it down folks, there's no way this cowardly, craven little man is ever, ever going to be President of the United States.
