I will repost what I posted in the other thread:
Newt has never been the most principled or moral guy you could get. This is a guy, who pressed his wife on their divorce even while she was sick in hospital from cancer. He has a very long history of questionable behavior with women.

Newt Gingrich's Skeleton Closet:
Quotes:

"We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" - Anne Manning (who was also married at the time.)

"We would have won in 1974 if we could have kept him out of the office, screwing her [a young volunteer] on the desk." - Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler at the time

[In the book] "Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them", [I] "found frightening pieces that related to my own life." - Newt.

"I think you can write a psychological profile of me that says I found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify whatever I wanted it to" - Newt, speaking to Gail Sheehy.

Draft Dodger:
Though he relentlessly pushes military spending and talks like a bigtime hawk, Gingrich avoided the Vietnam War through a combination of student and family deferments. (He married one of his teachers at age 19.)

House Banking Scandal: Newt Bounced 22 Checks Remember the House Banking scandal, where so many congressmen wrote rubber checks on government money? Newt hopes you don't, because he bounced 22 himself, which almost cost him reelection in 1992. His vote for the secret House pay raise, and the chauffeur who drove him around Washington in a Lincoln Town Car, didn't help.

He'd sell his soul to the devil himself, if that would get him power. He is exactly the kind of politician we don't need.
Perhaps, Newt should go see this movie:

The real surprise here is why we have even paid mind to what Newt has had to say all these years.

I’ve heard tell Newt’s management stills are atrocious, that he belongs nowhere near the executive. Does anyone know of a source for that?
