Boinking For Your Country














Warning: It's time to put on your waders.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Newt Gingrich says that his love for his country made him do it. "It" being his love affair with a congressional aide while married to his second wife. Apparently, Newt just worked too hard. You can say that again. Thank you, I will. Newt says he  "worked far too hard."

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.

Not to worry. It's all good. He divorced the wife, married the aide, and he's asked God for forgiveness:

I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness.


To quote one of my favorite comedians, Steven Wright:

Is it weird in here, or is it just me?

  1. What a marvelous title for your post! It really made me laugh. I wonder how long it took him to think up that excuse.

  4. Don't get me started on that. We're all in the first wives club. They're either doing it for their country, they work too hard, or they're just pigs.
    Oink, oink or boink boink. Take your choice.
    Love and Peace

  7. I always cringe at the double standards of some high profile people like him. I could say much more but I will stop.

  8. Yes, indeed, Teresa. It is getting weird in here, and I have put on many layers of waders. What an idiot, surpassed only by the idiocy of those who will march with him as he trashes Obama, a good family man, for having too much of a "Kenyan" world view. Utter insanity!

  9. I want to thank you for your comments. I am not here to judge, only to question his spinning technique. To heighten the hypocrisy, his affair happened while he was castigating Bill Clinton for the same behavior.

  10. Hey give up the old model for a new one, how long does she think that will last.I laugh at the excuses and carry pity for him even before all this happened.Flip Wilson used to have a character I believe that said, " the devil made me do it."

  11. I don't know. Maybe he can zip right to the top. I'm no Newt fan, but it's like the Clinton thing--I'd rather he did it to an aide than to the whole country.

  12. I really needed a belly laugh today and this is a great one, love the title; Murr has hit it on the head, unfortunately we're all being boinked right now from so many sources without a thank you.

  13. Steve, I'm surprised old Newt didn't use Flip's line.

    Murr, You're so darn funny. Love it.

    Linda, Yes, the Time of the Great Boinking is upon us. :) Now, you've given me a chuckle, and I thank you.

  14. Many years ago, Newt Gingrich hit the nail on the head when he was opposing women in the military or combat. He said, "Men are basically pigs." When you're looking for excuses, one is as good as another. Does he think the population of this country is made up of idiots? Like Charlie Sheen, he only gets points for being grandiose.

  15. And with Charlie, what you see is what you get, which is a much more honest, even refreshing approach. Hey thanks for reading and commenting!

  16. A sad day when spin can make some forget the truth. Our choices usually aren't very good, but this candidate is entirely unpalatable.

    I loved the title.

  17. Hi Bill, Was it Jim Hightower who said, "If you want us to vote, give us some real candidates?" I paraphrase probably.

    It's important to keep a sense of humor when it comes to political shenanigans.

  18. "I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate." I love that,"things happened" part. Here's what happened a la Robin Williams." God gave men a penis and a brain but only enough blood to operate one at a time." Actually, regarding Newt, I'm not sure about the brain part.

  19. Cletis! That's what you get for working HARD....

  20. Don't you just marvel at how people like Newt actually BELIEVE what they're saying? I mean, are they that obtuse? Yes, I think they are. Just makes me shake my head in disbelief.

    Great post, Teresa! and Wright is right...it is weird in here!
