Get Out of the Kitchen Newt

The republican presidential contest has been great entertainment from the git go, and shows no signs of disappointing now. The departure of Hermann Cain was a sad loss; his entertainment value, with his tortured speech patterns, tortured tax ideas, womanizing, and denials of womanizing - when we lost Mr. Cain, we lost a lot. 

But we still have Newt Gingrich, and that's no small potatoes. WE now know that in the mid nineties, when Newt was righteously impeaching President Clinton for sexual misconduct, he was having an affair, and, according to his ex wife, requesting her to participate in an open marriage, so he could have his cake and eat it to, so to speak.

Men who become powefrul, famous, or wealthy are often tempted to beahave as if social restrictions don't apply to them, and many women seem to love men who are rich, powerful, or famous, or preferrably all three. So men like Cain and Gingrich have extra women, then when they run for president, the past raises its ugly head.

At the most recent republican debate, when a journalist asked Gingrich about his ex wife's comments, Newt blew up, and ranted that to even ask such a question of him, to even bring the matter up, was a despicable act by an "elite" media (whatever that is).

Gingrich's ex wife chose to speak to the media, and chose to talk about her marriage to Newt. Should the media have turned her down, out of respect for the privacy of somebody running for president? That simply aint the way it works, Newt. Why not blame your ex wife for lying, or admit that she speaks the truth, and own up  to it? But, blaming the media? For what? Listening to people, and reporting what they say?  The media may at times be despicable, but the media is not the despicable party here.

Newt, trying to be the victim. For Newt to call anyone else despicable, anyone other than himself, is despicable. Any journalist is perfectly appropiate to ask candidates questions when ex wives and girlfriends come forth with allegations of poor past behavior. Calling someone names for asking a fair question is reprehensible, not worthy of a good candidate for president.

The prospect of Gingrich as President of the United States may be frightening, but as a presidential candidate, Newt is off the charts entertaining.
