VIDEO: Newt Gingrich explains why he cheated on his wife - patriotism?

Newt Gingrich sat down with David Brody from the Christian Broadcasting Network to discuss politics and religion. Of course the issue of Newts two divorces came up. Here is how Newt responded.

Newt Gingrich: There’s no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate. And what I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn’t trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them. I found that I felt compelled to seek God’s forgiveness. Not God’s understanding, but God’s forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there’s a forgiving God.

Somebody once said that when we’re young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy. There’s something to that, I think. I feel that I’m now 67 I’m a grandfather. I have two wonderful grandchildren. I have two wonderful daughters and two great sons-in-law. Callista and I have a great marriage. I think that I’ve learned an immense amount.

And I do feel, in that sense, that God has given me, has blessed me with an opportunity as a person. Forget about all this political stuff. As a person, I’ve had the opportunity to have a wonderful life, to find myself now, truly enjoying the depths of my life in ways that I never dreamed it was possible to have a life that was that nice.

So let me see if I can get this straight. Newt loves America so much that he worked so hard that it led him to cheat on two of his wives. This has got to be the most ridiculous BS I ever heard. If I had a penny for every time I heard someone say Newt is so smart, I would be a millionaire. But this answer is just dumb, dumb, dumb. It's even extra dumb because Newt has had years to think up a good excuse.

Whatever dreams Newt may have had for running in 2012, he should dispense with them ASAP, because this answer pretty much shut the door on that idea.

An Inconvenient Truth? Al Gore and Laurie David having an affair

Who is telling the truth here?  Star Magazine is saying that the reason why Al and Tipper Gore are no more is because Al had an affair with Larry David’s ex-wife Laurie David. 

Star: Al Gore's split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage was a shock to everyone who thought theirs was the ideal marriage. Now Star can exclusively reveal that the former Vice President was having an affair with's ex-wife — for the past two years!

In the June 28 issue of Star, on sale Wednesday, we report that Al and Tipper's breakup didn't come as much of a surprise to one Hollywood player — Laurie David. Star has learned that Al has been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in 2007 amidst reports she was cheating with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard summer home.

“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers," an insider tells Star. "It couldn’t be avoided." 

Laurie David tells the Huffington Post that the affair isn’t true. 

"The story is completely untrue," David told Huffington Post. "It's a total fabrication. I adore both Al and Tipper. I look at them both as family. And I have happily been in a serious relationship since my divorce." 

It is just so hard to tell what the story is with these bed hopping Hollywood types. I think we should call the Enquirer, they now have a really good track record at digging into “political affairs”.

Al Gore’s daughter Karenna Gore Schiff to divorce

Talk about the apple not falling far from the tree.  Perhaps they got a divorce lawyer who was having a 2 for 1 special? 

CNN: Karenna Gore Schiff, the oldest daughter of former Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore, has separated from her husband, Dr. Andrew Schiff, after 13 years of marriage, two sources close to the former vice president tell CNN.

This news comes just a week after the former vice president and Mrs. Gore announced their own separation after 40 years of marriage.

Gore Schiff is 36 years old, a graduate of Harvard University and Columbia Law School. She married Andrew Schiff in 1997. They have three children.

Reached by CNN, Gore Schiff declined to comment on the story.

It is rather strange that both Gore and his daughter would call it quits on their marriages so close together. In both cases, these were long marriages too.  Could it be all that new found wealth from milking gullible Greenies has gone to their heads?

Al and Tipper Gore call it quits

The big buzz in DC yesterday was that Al and Tipper Gore are calling it quits after 40 years of marriage.  

Politico: Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday.

In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.

“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

Who knows why the pair is ending their long marriage now. According to one of the Gores’ friends, the evil George W. Bush is to blame: 

Family friend Sally Quinn told CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson that Gore winning the popular vote for president but losing the electoral vote may have done the marriage irreparable harm.

“He’s obviously suffered a lot,” Quinn said. “He’ll never get over that and neither will she.” 

Sorry, but I ain’t buying that one. If I had to venture a guess, I would say Tipper had enough of being married to the laughingstock of Climate Change. For Al Gore I sense midlife crisis. He already has the hot new bachelor pad, all he needs now is the hot new trophy wife.

According to my friend Nikki, she sees a hot new trophy husband! She might be on to something, have you seen Al Gore’s eyebrows lately?
