Who: Newt Gingrich What: In an interview on the Christian Broadcast Network, Gingrich explained why his two previous marriages failed. “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.”
Why it’s dim: By couching his infidelity in his love of country, Gingrich proves the axiom that patriotism really is the last refuge of scoundrels.
