#7 Last I checked, he's still married. The ol' Newter cheated on his wife, who divorced him. That was his second wife.
Newt first married at age 19, marrying his former high school geometry teacher. While she was recovering from surgery for uterine cancer, he allegedly went to see her with a legal pad in hand, trying to divy up the marital property and hammer out a divorce settlement. This, after she helped put him through school and his first (unsuccessful) congressional campaign. When they did divorce in 1981, he was paying her so little in support for her and their two kids, people at her church reportedly had to help support the three financially. Six months after the divorce was final, he married his second wife.
While continuing to profess "family values" and hound Clinto over the Lewinsky mess, Newter was cheating on his second wife with the woman who would become, just months after his second divorce, his third wife. The affair was reported to be occurring right around the time that Newter was leading the Congressional investigation of Clinton.
Yeah. Gingrich. Real family values kinda guy. One of many reasons why, when someone called me at my office earlier this year, looking for donations for whatever the hell Newter is up to now, that I dropped the phone because I was laughing so hard.
