Drudge Report Goes After Newt Gingrich Over Monica Lewinsky Sex Comment (Drudge Report)

The Drudge Report is after Newt Gingrich again and this time, they’re playing on his hypocrisy with a flashy caption:  NEWT: I WASN’T KNOCKING LEWINSKY SEX….  Like he should be talking about Monica Lewinsky with his one-time jump-off-turned wife Callista Gingrich. There seems to be a problem with the link.

Here’s a snippet from PostonPolitics.com (from Univision interview): ”Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich came out swinging this morning when accused of being a hypocrite for blasting then President Bill Clinton for having an affair at the same time he was cheating on his own wife.  During a wide-ranging interview –” and there are only wide ranging, I’ve never seen a narrowly focused interview, have you?  At least described in the media as a narrowly focused interview. No, a wide-ranging interview.  “– wide-ranging interview with Spanish language television Univision, Gingrich said he wasn’t criticizing the sex.”  I wasn’t knocking the sex in the Lewinsky story.  I was knocking Clinton lying under oath. ”

Um, Newt Gingrich knocking Bill Clinton on lying under oath? What an egomaniac and sociopath rolled into one. Right Newt, you are so credible on the topics of lying under oath and marital fidelity. HYPOCRITE.

On another note, Newt Gingrich was grilled by Univison’s Jorge Ramos and got a smackdown after being told, matched up to President Obama, Hispanics chose Obama, not him, and he “could lose the election” with his poll numbers in the Latino community.  Here’s are some excerpts from the New York Times:

Mr. Gingrich is aggressively courting Hispanic voters in Florida and he has scheduled several events before the primary on Jan. 31 focused on Hispanic issues, including a speech on Latin American policy.

But Mr. Ramos noted that in a poll released Wednesday by Univision, ABC News and Latino Decisions that matched Mr. Gingrich against President Obama, a vast majority of Hispanic voters chose Mr. Obama.

“You would lose the general election with these numbers,’’ he warned.

Jorge Ramos went where John King, Bret Baier, Anderson Cooper and Brian Williams didn’t go — straight for the jugular with his questions.

Asked what he thought of Mitt Romney’s idea that illegal immigrants would “self-deport” if they are denied jobs and services, Mr. Gingrich snorted, then answered, “I think you have to live in worlds of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatic $20 million a year income with no work to have some fantasy this far from reality.’’

He accused Mr. Romney of lacking “concern for the humanity of the people who are already here.’’

But when Mr. Ramos pressed him on why, if he were compassionate, he did not support the Dream Act, which would offer some illegal immigrants brought to this country as children a path to citizenship – President Obama called on Congress to pass the bill in his State of the Union address on Tuesday — Mr. Gingrich said he was for “half the Dream Act,’’ giving citizenship to people who enlist in the army.

Mr. Ramos said that two million students were brought to the country as children by illegal-immigrant parents and that Mr. Gingrich favored policies “punishing” them.

“They can go to college,’’ Mr. Gingrich demurred. “I wasn’t suggesting we run around and try to deport them. I have suggested that if they want to become citizens, they can join the military.’’

The interview touched on his ex-wife Marianne Gingrich’s open marriage accusations:

“Do I blame you for asking? No, let me explain,’’ Mr. Gingrich said, and he went on to say he had been angry at ABC News for interviewing his former wife, Marianne Gingrich, while not interviewing people the Gingrich campaign suggested would rebut the account. His campaign fought with ABC for equal time “because it’s a lie,’’ he said. “It’s not true.’’

Mr. Ramos then suggested that Mr. Gingrich had been hypocritical, as House speaker, to lead impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair at a time he himself was in an adulterous relationship. “At the same time you were doing exactly the same thing,’’ Mr. Ramos said.

Mr. Gingrich pushed back, making the case that Mr. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath, a felony, not for an extramarital affair.

“I understand,’’ Mr. Ramos said, “but people think that’s hypocritical to criticize President Clinton for doing the same thing that you were doing at the same time.”

Newt Gingrich can’t help himself. He’s a HYPOCRITE.
