Hypocrisy in American Politics

Newt Gingrich's ex-wife was interviewed on ABC and stated that he lacks the moral character to be president of the United States.  Accoring to the article:

"his second ex-wife Marianne told ABC News, saying his campaign positions on the sanctity of marriage and the importance of family values do not square with what she saw during their 18 years of marriage."

At the same time he was assailing Bill Clinton for getting head in the oval office, he was telling his wife that he had met another woman and wanted to have an "open marriage".  

Marianne described her "shock" at Gingrich's behavior, including how she says she learned he conducted his affair with Callista "in my bedroom in our apartment in Washington."

"He always called me at night," she recalled, "and always ended with 'I love you.' Well, she was listening."

This all from a man who is a "fierce advocate of traditional marriage" and advocates denying marriage to gays and lesbians.
