Don't just wonder some days about how stupid Republicans think the American public is? And isn't it scary to think that they could be right? Today's example is Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House who resigned in disgrace in 1999, serial adulterer while hiding behind a rhetorical shield of family values and anti-woman polices.
He f..ked the nation in his contract ON America. But his passion for the country made cheat on his wives. So he says now.

First his ethical violations for which he was reprimanded.
During Gingrich's term as Speaker, eighty-four ethics charges were filed against him, most of which were leveled by House Democratic Whip David Bonior. Eighty-three of the eighty-four allegations were dropped.[44]
The remaining charge consisted of two counts "of failure to seek legal advice" and one count of "providing the committee with information which he knew or should have known was inaccurate" concerning the use of a tax exempt college course for political purposes. To avoid a full hearing, Gingrich and the House Ethics Subcommittee negotiated a sanctions agreement, which Democrats accused Gingrich of immediately violating. Nonetheless, the agreement was forwarded to the House for approval.[45] [46] On January 21, 1997, the House voted 395 to 28 to reprimand Gingrich, including a $300,000 "cost assessment" to recoup money spent on the investigation.[47][48] This was the first time in the House's history that the Speaker had been disciplined for ethics violations.[49]

Now his affairs. Many so-called Christian fundamentalists ignore these. IOKIYAR:
Gingrich has been married three times. In 1962, he married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old and she was 26.[88][89] They had two daughters.
In the spring of 1980, Gingrich left Battley after having an affair with Marianne Ginther.[90][91] A
According to Battley, Gingrich visited her while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery to discuss the details of their divorce. However, Gingrich disputes the account.[70] Six months after the divorce was final, Gingrich wed Ginther in 1981.[92][93]
In the mid-1990s, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, who is 23 years his junior; they continued their affair during the Lewinsky scandal.[94]
In 2000, Gingrich married Bisek shortly after his divorce from second wife Ginther. He and Callista currently live in McLean, Virginia.[95]
Gingrich has two daughters from his first marriage. Kathy Gingrich Lubbers is president of Gingrich Communications,[96] and Jackie Gingrich Cushman is an author, whose books include 5 Principles for a Successful Life, co-authored with Newt Gingrich.[97]

Now he tells us that he's been doing patriotic screwing:
"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," said Gingrich during an interview with CBN's David Brody. "What I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them," he continued, going on to say that he had sought "God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness."
The devil didn't make him do it! No, it was patriotism. He f..ked other women to make America great!
No comment I can make will do justice to the arrogant stupidity of that man. Can anyone say narcissistic personality? And he wants to be president.
Update I: From the comments, we generously will offer The Adultrous Newt a campaign slogan. Now Republcians might charge for this, but we Democrats are willing to share:
It can be his campaign slogan
