Martin Bashir: "Was Gingrich using only the rhythm method with his Catholic mistress Calista?"

I really like this guy!

Newt's got his knickers in a twist about contraception. Martin wonders if Gingrich was just trusting to luck during his years of serial adulery.

I don't think he should be asked that in a public forum...I honestly don't think he can physically take it

so that he could continue to play the pious man who was not having sex with his staff. It was real sex when Clinton did it but most assuredly not the real thing with Callista.

I don't know how these Republicans can stand the reek of hypocrisy coming off every one of their candidates.

He didn't have kids with his second wife and he doesn't have kids with this one.

They were young enough to have kids when they were married.

Calista is an only child and I think Marianne is also. I think it's strange that he didn't try for a little newt

I was raised a catholic, but now think the whole thing is kind of silly.

18. Yeah, but a baby newt is an "eft". Calista had to draw the line somewhere.

Maybe deep in her heart she realizes that the entire country would be "eft" if her husband, by some miracle, oozed into the Presidency.

Or maybe it does. Some of the old Popes had mistresses and children.
