He was quoted in the Washington Post back in March 2011 that, "partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country . . . things happened in my life that were not appropriate." And haven't we all been there? You're all passionate about America, and inappropriate things, well, they just happen. You know?

Seeing as the current Mrs. Gingrich was willing to participate in an "open marriage" while she was the 'other woman', surely she would be willing to be part of an open marriage if her husband were to want that now. It only make sense, lol. I bet, now that the 'shoe is on the other foot', she would see it quite differently.

After his attack on Clinton while he was doing the same thing. Incredible. And he still has the nerve to complain about himself being called on the same thing now.
