I noticed fox news reintroduced that turd by getting him a blue padded suit and a hair cut..... talk about putting lip stick on a pig......<g> T 'In one of our first editions of BuzzFlash, in the spring of 2000, we noted how we had just come across a small item in the Washington Post real estate section that dapper Newt had just purchased a little mansion in Virginia for Callista Bisek, his third wife. You see, while he was viciously denouncing Bill Clinton for a little tryst with an intern, the Newtster had been carrying on an adulterous affair with a congressional aide some 20 years his junior. His second wife wasn't apparently pleased with the Romeo philandering of Newt, so she filed for divorce. But his second wife should have known she married a guy with a roving jolly stick. After all, Newt notified his first wife that he was divorcing her while she was in the hospital with cancer. Of course, during all the time he was cheating on his second wife, Newt was conducting a slash and burn campaign against Clinton claiming that he lacked moral character. In 1999, Newt had announced that he was going to step down from being Speaker of the House after the Republicans lost seats in a mid-term election that they were expected to decisively win. In retrospect, it appears that he might have been fearful that his sexual infidelities were about to be outed by Larry Flynt. So the Republicans chose another loud-mouth Jimmy Swaggart Southern moral role model, Congressman Bob Livingston, to pick up the sword of "Christian family values" that Newt had passed on to him. As it came to pass, however, Congressman Livingston turned out to be even more of a bed-hopping Lothario than Newt -- and Livingston had to withdraw after a period of time when frantic damage control appeared to collapse due to an imminent bimbo eruption. At that point, the Republicans, still claiming "moral clarity" with straight faces, searched frantically for another Speaker. The only problem was that they couldn't seem to find (one theory holds) any leading candidates who might escape exposure of their own little "immoral" peccadilloes.'
