I see that polls show that Gingrich won in SC even among "evangelical Christians". Nothing surprises me about the Bible Bums. They whine about family values and then vote for a serial adulterer, They talk about Christian love yet are first to urge the use of the bomb and the bullet overseas. It's disgusting to see that the Bible Bums are making inroads in Ireland. We've even seen some nonsense from Bible Bum Oirish posted on this site.

How in hell a man who can't run his household, changing wives like dirtysocks run a country. Just as well he isn't catholic, he'd have a problem with annulments. Then maybe not, if the price is right.

****Ok Irish Central here we go again****You have a malfunction with your blogger software. I did NOT post the post below showing in the name of McNamara31 which states: OK tom/peggy and faberm1.. How about Newt's record? Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term. Following an investigation by the House Ethics Committee Gingrich was sanctioned US$300,000 on a 395-28 House vote****IC can you PLEASE finally fix this situation!

Patrick you are sick to write such an article. Go write about John, Bobby and Teddy Kennedy. Better yet, start with their father and end up with the grandsons. What a saintly group.

We all know about Newt and his wives etc. Of course his party is the moral values group, what a sham..............As big as the church claiming there were no molestations of children and then we find it all over the world.............the worst part of the crime is they knew it, hid it and even moved many of the vile priests to new locations.....Where they continued to get the collection plate filled and the same re the childrens orifices..................And of course the church once again proved its hypocrisy - by taking in a man who is helping to destroy marriage.

The GOP are tearing their hair out because they cannot find an Obama sex scandal.Fox tried to scandalise him with guilt by association and failed.Then again the only truth at Fox lies on the cutting room floor.Gingrich is a proven dishonest politician,he would denigrate the office of POTUS.His latest comment denying the existence of Palestine is historically incorrect and reprehensible

failteroibeard Tiger Woods - the wife hired an investigator, and looked through his cell phone, planning for a lucrative divorce. So, you need to get Michelle Obama working with the birthers, and then you'd be set. She'd be nasty I think.

cunning cockroach went catholic based on changing demographics of american society. Church which makes exceptions for such a clown is another of its problematic contradictions.

SeamusMartin, The way I understand it, Newt Gingrich persued HIS high school geometry teacher, who was 8 years older than him. He left her, when she was going through ovarian cancer.

@failterolbeard: Aontaim leat go leor leor! Tá an ceart agat ar fad. (I agree with you so so much. You are totally right. ) This article begs another question. When will the owners of this paper understand that Irish American don't appreciate their leftist, socialist views. This is not 1860 and we are not ruled by Union bosses and cheap politicians promising us food in our dishes. We are successful fully integrated Americans who are some of the leading entrepreneurs in this great country! Such socialistic views have put Ireland in the toilet, and they sure won't work here. Take them back to Ireland where they might sell.

Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years? And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.! Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a 9 iron from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade. Not only that, they know which wedge! And, each & every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's divorce settlement figures, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play. Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for almost three years, yet this very same press: • Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors; • Or find any of Obama's high school or college classmates; • Or locate any of his college papers or grades; • Or locate any of his lovers both gay and straight; • Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education; • Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's; • Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism; •Or locate any information on his past life story; • Or find his original unedited birth certificate. They just can't seem to uncover any of this. Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth! Find that totally amazing. Ní féidir leat an t-uisce a ghlanadh suas go dtí go bhfaigheann tú an muc amach as an sruth. (You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.)
