Doonesbury Say What?
Mar. 12th, 2011 09:08 amGotta love The Newt!
"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."
— Newt Gingrich, on his multiple affairs and marriages
His Newtiness went on to say: "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."
He said this while talking to the Christian Broadcasting Network. It immediately started getting parodied. Two that I easily found were from Vanity Fair, which has an excellent Top 10 list, and from HuffPo, in which Lawrence O'Donnell mocked him by speaking a (perhaps) more accurate subtext along with The Newt's explanation.
