Newt Gingrich (!) calls Trump a "gentleman" for not talking about Clinton's affairs during debate

[book_worm]

Newt Gingrich said Donald Trump was “a gentleman” for holding back a verbal onslaught on Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs during the first debate, Politico reports.

Said Gingrich: “I’m very proud that at the very end when she attacked and went off on this whole rant about women — and you could see his face — in the Republican primary, he would have just smashed her.”

Newt--another example of marital virtue! I kind of wish that Trump would bring up Bill's affairs in the second debate because I'm sure that Hillary would be ready to say something like, "Everybody knows that Bill and I have had problems, but we don't need any lectures from a guy who has been married three times and bragged about his own affairs in his book."

1. Newt, we see what you're doing there.

Just take your dirty worn-out gimmick and go away.

[unblock]

2. somehow laudable to not talk about during the debate but totally cool to flood the media afterwards

never mind that he *did* mention it during the debates, albeit obiquely.

3. I laugh at Newt's perception of a gentleman.

Even if he wasn't talking about Trump.

Of a rant.

5. I find myself thinking of the old Patty Dike show song…

"'Cause they're assholes/identical assholes…"

6. So he gets more praise for what he didn't say...

than for what he did say?

[malaise]

7. Didn't he walk out on a wife who was suffering from cancer

WTF would he know about the notion of a gentleman. Hastert was one as well.

8. Newt recognizes another gentleman when he sees one, extra-marital affairs, several wives but

Newt has even exceeded that by serving divorce papers in a hospital.

Yeah, dumb@ss let's get this one started.

9. Two words that should never be used in the same sentence: Trump and gentleman.

I've met outlaw bikers that were more of a gentleman than Trump.

10. Oh, Newt...

Gentleman...
"You keep using that word. I do not think that means what you think it means"

The ignorance is...inconceivable !

11. Really, Clinton's impeachment should have taught the GOP not to mess with another man's

infidelities. But these fools never learn anything.

Anybody heard from Larry Flynt lately?
