lastly, no one is going to let social matters get in the way of economic ones.
Thats why you hear virtually nothing about social values, abortion, etc. in this economic climate, no one gives a fuck about them.
So... writing 22 bad checks against the house bank and misusing tax deductible donations to fund the college course he was teaching at the time... those don't matter.

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said that had he known what was in the ethics committee's report, he would not have voted for Gingrich as speaker. "The gray got grayer when you read the report," he said. "When I think of my three boys and what kind of example I want to set for them for leadership in this country, gray is not the example."
