Stench of hypocrisy says Newt:Gingrich on page scandal: Democrats have done far worse JIM DAVENPORT, Associated Press GREENVILLE, S.C. - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Democrats have done far worse things than sending lurid Internet messages to male teenage pages, actions which led to the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mark Foley. Gingrich spoke Wednesday evening in Greenville, a GOP stronghold in a solidly Republican state. He told the crowd that Democratic sex scandals have been far worse and Democrats have wanted to punish their offenders far less. "What we don't have to do is allow our friends on the left to lecture us on morality," Gingrich said. "There's a certain stench of hypocrisy." Gingrich wouldn't say whether House Speaker Dennis Hastert should step down or talk about reports that Hastert may have known about Foley's problems with pages for more than three years. "I don't know what he knew," Gingrich said before the speech. "I don't know what the guy told him and I haven't seen what that guy claimed to have told him."
