I'd much rather have Gingrich (who is smart and has good ideas) than bat-shit crazy Rick Santorum. That guy is just NUTS. I listened to an interview with him the other day and every sentence included the words "and I prayed about it".
Didn't matter if it was his decision to run for President, grab a hamburger for lunch, or drive across town...he "prayed" about every goddamn thing!

All the while Gingrich was leading the charge to impeach Clinton, Newt was having an affair himself with a much younger Congressional staffer, while engaging in unethical conduct that ultimately cost him his position as Speaker of the House of Representatives:

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, when Gingrich became a leader of the investigation of President Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with his alleged affairs.

The House voted overwhelmingly yesterday to reprimand House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and order him to pay an unprecedented $300,000 penalty, the first time in the House's 208-year history it has disciplined a speaker for ethical wrongdoing.

Newt Gingrich is the ultimate political chameleon, and a symbol of much of what is wrong in US politics.
