This is rich

Newt Gingrich has admitted to conducting an extramarital affair during the Clinton impeachment scandal. Now, most people (myself included) would consider that the height of hypocrisy but Newt says otherwise:

"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."

Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity.

Really now. So, it is not hypocritical for Newt to have an affair with a campaign aide while at the same time spouting off about family values and pillorying Bill Clinton for playing around with a subordinate? Um, bullshit. Somebody get the Shepard’s Hook, it is time to yank Newt off the stage.
