Falwell "Praises" Gingrich, Invites Him to Commencement

Newt Gingrich's admission that he committed adultery (again) while pursuing President Bill Clinton's  Clinton's impeachment in the Monica Lewinsky affair "has won praise from another conservative Christian leader: The Rev. Jerry Falwell."

"He has admitted his moral shortcomings to me, as well, in private conversations," Falwell wrote in a weekly newsletter sent Friday to members of the Moral Majority Coalition and The Liberty Alliance. "And he has also told me that he has, in recent years, come to grips with his personal failures and sought God's forgiveness."

BTW: The former Georgia Republican congressman will be the commencement speaker at Falwell's Liberty University.

Newt's "family values":

• Forced his first wife to have an abortion;
• Divorced when she was recovering from cancer;
• Refused to pay child support;
• Married the mistress six months after the divorce;
• Hooked up with a congressional intern while he impeached Clinton for fooling around with an intern;
• Divorced the second wife after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis;
• Married the intern who is now the third wife.
• ________ ?

Meanwhile, Dobson and Falwell's fellow evangelicals are trashing Rudy Giuliani for having three wives and two messy divorces. Explain the difference. Besides the fact that Giuliani didn't leave his wives when they were hospitalized in the ICU, Giuliani is pro-choice, pro-gay rights and pro-gun control. Jerry Falwell's message: "Forgive" those who agree with your politics, vilify everyone else."

Falwell and his Bible-thumpers really don't stand for anything—except for themselves.

Holy shit, I did not know that about him. I mean sure, I knew he was a raging asshole, but wow, this is quality info.

Perfectly condensced GOP-bullshit. Well distilled, Rod. The only thing he has up on Clinton (and may be his trump card in that wonderland of spin) is that he didnt have to be hauled before a grand jury to admit his adultery and didn't lie under oath. Teensy hair to split, I know, but these people are jesus-freak batshit insane.
