    There Are So Many Ways for Jon Stewart to Mock Newt's Infidelity

    There Are So Many Ways for Jon Stewart to Mock Newt's Infidelity

    Off word that Newt Gingrich's (second) ex-wife would give ABC a tell-all interview, Jon Stewart had yet another chance to lay into the former speaker for all his past infidelities. Normally, both Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry dropping out of the race would have made for a pretty good week for Newt, campaign-wise. If only his ex, Marianne, wasn't about to blab on national TV how Gingrich asked her for an open marriage while she was sick. Cue the standard footage of Newt delivering family-values talking pointing, and many rapid one-liners as Stewart lampoons his infidelity. "The open marriage revelation is in keeping with Newt's philosophy. He's a free-market man... Free of onerous regulation... He's just encouraging competition... Creative destruction... Pro-creative destruction... He wants his hands to be invisible... Well we can go all day like this." Proof that even decades later, Gingrich's hypocrisy on the sanctity of marriage can still be fresh comedic fodder.

      No worries republican party, SNL loves you and so does John Stewart!

      The whole problem with Newt's infidelity is that he's been lecturing us on marital values for years. Claiming Clinton was morally unfit to lead, while at the same time lying to his wife for years about an affair with a staffer. That wife, he met while still married to his previous wife. If this guy didn't make values an issue, I'd say this has no place in the discussion. But when he's given more than 100 speaches on his values, the sanctity of marriage, and preserving marriage, it's relevant.

        #$%$ Clinton lectures people all the time, strange how you give him a pass!
      • wrdsmth 4 mths ago
        but not on morality.
    • David  •  4 mths ago
      Stewart is not running for office, so he can ridicule Newt all he wants!
      • DT 4 mths ago
        It's America David, so for now (until the right wing wackos stop us from criticizing them) we can say what we want.
      • FREE SOUL 4 mths ago
        While the left wing wackos want free money, more tuberculosis, and crapping in the streets! Such class!
      • wrdsmth 4 mths ago
        free: did you sit on a razor blade or something? back away from the edge and calm down.
    • Mockingbird  •  Oakland, California  •  4 mths ago
      Newt is just creating jobs. Mistresses need jobs, too.
    • j  •  Las Vegas, Nevada  •  4 mths ago
      It's no secret, everybody in the country that isn't blinded by hate knows it. Stewart knows it, Colbert knows it, all the the late night talk shows know it and the vast majority of the American public that aren't brain dead teabaggers know it.......................The Grinch is a joke walking around in human skin.
    • Tigger Too  •  4 mths ago
      This is old news, isn't it? Americans KNOW that Newt Gingrich is a cheating pig in his personal life, with an unsavory reputation in his treatment of women in general and his ex-wives in particular. I don't know that Wife #2's revelations are any great surprise. What worries me more about Newt are his statements that poor kids should be scrubbing toilets in inner-city schools. [I WOULD like to know how this nasty little troll gets all these ladies though. He must have a twelve-inch... Well, YOU know what I mean.]
      • Lois 4 mths ago
        even a 12 incher wouldn't make most women want Newtie, he's too slimy!
      • wrdsmth 4 mths ago
        money and power are the world's greatest aphrodisiacs. also the world's greatest sources of corruption so just as well i missed out on that.
    • Diogenes the Dawg  •  4 mths ago
      I bet Callista has Newt's huevos in a lockbox.
      • OSUFAN 4 mths ago
        I bet she has them in a vice!

      • concerned 4 mths ago
        Until he gets tired of her too. Good thing he has money. Butt ugly he is. Vote againat government covering birth control pills, but i bet hes glad they cover Viagra.
    • dredd  •  Ferndale, Washington  •  4 mths ago
      Jon Stewart rules.lol Steven Colbert for President.lol
    • Robert  •  Pleasanton, California  •  4 mths ago
      GOP,the party of family values...LOL
    • Fred  •  Pleasanton, California  •  4 mths ago
      Poor Newt, nobody likes his tantrums, his arrogance, his two faced infidelities, never saw a war he didn't like foreign policy, he's just way too full of himself.

      And can you believe he said he'd give Palin an important position?
    • Casual Observer  •  4 mths ago
      It keeps getting clearer and clearer with the GOP candidates they seem to relish in telling everyone to do as I say but but not as I do.
    • Philip  •  Santa Clara, California  •  4 mths ago
      The reason this has legs that wont quit is that Newt signed the bill of impeachment on the same desk that he balled Kallisa on when she was still a congressional paige.
    • Jerry  •  Merion Station, Pennsylvania  •  4 mths ago
      Imagine someone like Walter Cronkite reporting on this subject. He was a REAL journalist.
    • Ro  •  4 mths ago
      Callista, you will never be the First Lady of this country, but now you're stuck with the Toad.
    • rico  •  4 mths ago
      Newt, perfect example of family values republican style. 'A marriage is between one man and many women.'
    • Gman  •  4 mths ago
      Stewart rocks. The conservative set just keeps giving him softballs to lob out of the park.
    • DT  •  Austin, Texas  •  4 mths ago
      Ha Ha Ha. So NOW it's ok to have a personal life, eh republicans? BUT NO, NOT WHEN IT INVOLVED BILL CLINTON.

      REPUBLICANS HAVE PROVEN ONCE AGAIN THAT THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PRINCIPLES. THEY ARE HYPOCRITES, AND WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU, OR AMERICA.

      Republicans ARE hypocrites, and they DON'T DESERVE TO LEAD AMERICA.

      If a man can't be loyal to his closet friend and mate, he can't be trusted with the public for which he has no close tie's to.

      Jon
      Stewart.. the most trusted anchor man in America.
