Gingrich: Adultery Makes Me More Human Than Mitt "Only Sexes Up His Wife" Romney

Can you see past a weakness so hard that it turns into a strength? Presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich tried to pull that off in an interview with CBN's David Brody where Gingrich tried to spin his "past weaknesses" as making him more "human" than everyone's favorite Republican Robot, Mitt Romney.
From Brody's blog:
In a one-on-one interview with The Brody File, Newt Gingrich says that he has “not hidden from the facts of my life, that I have confessed my weaknesses” and he believes that, in part, is a reason why evangelicals are able to get behind his candidacy.
He goes on to say that, “it may make me more normal than somebody who wanders around seeming perfect and maybe not understanding the human condition, and the challenges of life for normal people.”
Yeah! Don't we all repeatedly marry and divorce women, get busted for ethics violations, fined $300,000 for those violations, get forced out of office by our own people, lobby under the table, lie about it, race bait for votes and act like we were the first person in history to ever take a successful dump then insist that this dump be framed and preserved for future generations to see?
What's up with this meet a girl, marry her, have kids with her and stay married, shit? Shady, man. It's like he's actually able to follow through on his commitments in one area of his life. How can anyone trust that?

Ick, that close-up is scary. It's rather sad though funny how much those Repugs DON'T want ol' Mittens to be their hero.
Everyone has had their 15 minutes from Bachmann to Cain to Paul and now Newter. And they're still begging ANYONE to join the Klown Kar. This convention is going to be very interesting.
Dear Newt,
I wish you all the best while running your campaign. I am truly on your side! The amount of press you are receiving right now for your outlandish space program provides so much fodder for the left and independents alike. Your “flight of fancy” initiative is just what this country needs. Shall we give it savvy a name like Republicans consistently and carefully market to the American people? How about “White flight”, or “Newt-asia (a play on Disney’s Fantasia)”, or my favorite “Newt-ron Odyssey”. Get it? Love it!
I am equally excited for all of the folks signing up to help you win: Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, etc…. you know, the ones that already have comedians lined up to play these characters on Saturday Night Live. I always say, birds of a feather........This is going to be the best campaign season EVER! That reminds me, can you ask Jan Brewer to join your team? She and Orley Taitez are twins separated at birth. I am sure of it! Maybe the SNL crew could do a split personality character of these twisted sisters!
Now I don’t like to pry Newt, but how are you going to introduce your wife to America at the podium? Will it be, “This is my 3rd wife who is in perfectly good health, so I don’t plan to leave her anytime soon” style introduction? Or will you just say, “Please believe me when I say, we are not trying to turn the White House into a whore house America, so please welcome my one true love…..Calista”. So many critical decisions to make, with so little time…..I say you go with, “America, please open your hearts as wide as my wife opened her legs to me, and give it up like she does—Calista Gingrich!”. This kind of blurs the line a bit, but you get the notion.
I’m only trying to gather information to help promote your candidacy in the best light Newt. We need to be proactive in our approach, otherwise the Left will say, “We HAD use the FACTS to paint the dirty picture of Newt’s character”, and that to me is just not fair! Using facts against a candidate is just plain dirty politics, and you shouldn’t have to deal with that Newt! Keep fighting to clean up your act. That spill on isle 9 is fast approaching….. Your ex-wife (that would be ex-wife #2) didn’t tell the whole story, and we know it!
I was looking back over some footage of you calling the Spanish language, “The language of poverty”. Good call! How else do we let the Latino voters of Florida know that because they learned to speak Spanish they are poor. Thank goodness someone knows that language has a direct effect on the lack of income in paychecks. We better alert all the Americans looking for work that they need to stop speaking Spanish while they are waiting in the unemployment lines! At least we didn’t dip into your Newt-ron Odyssey money to research this issue to death, only to find out that it was only another one of your racist statements. Whew, missed that earmark! I know you’ve never turned down an earmark you did or didn’t like. When you were Speaker of the House, you helped to run up a tab so huge, you would think you were lining your own pockets behind the backs of the American people. Say it ain’t so Newt, say it ain’t so!
Newt, I was talking to some school janitors the other day and asked them if they wouldn’t mind taking some time off, so we could train our students to take their jobs. They said, “Why? We went to school too and we work hard every day to make ends meet.” I told them what you said about work ethic and they wanted to know, “How hard it is to eat at fine dining establishments and talk politics while juggling two ex-wives, a current Real Housewhore of Capitol Hill, and lobbying under the guise of "Advisor" to big corporations tearing at the fabric of America”. I said, “I don’t know, but Newt said he needs your jobs for poor children”. They said, “F*ck that rat bastard Newt”…but they said it in Spanish…the language of the poor.
Oh well Newt, call me if you need anything. I know your base will rally behind you, and push you to the fore. Just make sure while you are out shaking hands, that you are only shaking hands and aren’t searching for wives four and five. This could be a deal breaker for your debate audience, filled with your Christian base.
Newt 2012! America's Sugar Daddy!!

I found this quote terrifying..
"He goes on to say that, 'it may make me more normal than somebody who wanders around seeming perfect and maybe not understanding the human condition, and the challenges of life for normal people.'"
REminds me way too much of a scripture in Hebrews 4 that refers to Christ...
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—
I love a great scriptural allusion probably more than the next person but this is just creepy.
What was it Saint Augustine said? "Lord, grant me chastity ... only not yet."
Sounds to me like it might be Newt's motto.
