Whatever the particulars, both Clinton and Gingrich were slime for breaking their marriage vows…nothing more, nothing less.

Different kinds of slime and Clinton is not relevant any more. Newt and his hypocrisy is very relevant now.

I do question the consistency of blowing off accountability of staying in committed relationships when you’re in a position of power and influence: it’s either wrong or not. When you’re in a position of power and influence there is supposed to be a some level of leading by example. You also run the risk of being leveraged to blackmail if you deal in hanky panky.

If it’s truly not a big deal, both those points are moot.

The difference between the Dems and GOP is the blatant hypocrisy from the GOP on ‘Family Values.’ At least the Dems are riding on the high horse about it.
