To quote a Facebook friend, “His Momma didn’t name him after a lizard for nothing!”

Presidential hopeful, Newt Gingrich is a piece of work. The man who led the charge to impeach former President Bill Clinton – is now at the center of John Edwards type saga.

Like John Edwards, Gingrich ditched his 1^st wife – while she too was recovering from Cancer. But he took Edward’s bet – and raised him a sick wife! Gingrich left his 2^nd wife while she was recovering from illness too. But the kicker – he had #2 in the bag before leaving #1, and did the same with #2, having already locked up #3 before breaking off his second marriage.

In typical Republican form – Gingrich just goes on as if nothing happened. I wish Democrats would take this tact more often, instead of tucking their tales and running at the first sign of personal issues. Gingrich has taken it to a whole new level, though. While we thought he was just a scumbag, it turns out he was doing it for us – he was “getting oral because it didn’t count as sex” – and doing it because, “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.”

Wikipedia on Gingrich's Personal Life:
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. They had two daughters. In the spring of 1980, Gingrich left Battley after having an affair with Marianne Ginther. 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. Six months after the divorce was final, Gingrich wed Ginther in 1981.

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. In 2000, Gingrich married Bisek shortly after his divorce from second wife Ginther. He and Callista currently live in McLean, Virginia.

Gingrich has two daughters from his first marriage. Kathy Gingrich Lubbers is president of Gingrich Communications, and Jackie Gingrich Cushman is an author, whose books include 5 Principles for a Successful Life, co-authored with Newt Gingrich.
