Newt Gingrich is an interesting guy, to say the least. He led the Contract for America and helped gain the House majority for Republicans in 1994 and became Speaker of the House. On the other side of the coin, he is "
not in favor of creating the notion of gay marriage," yet has run roughshod over the "sanctity" of marriage himself, marrying his former high school geometry teacher (
clearly sine curves weren't the only thing being studied) and then finalizing their divorce while she was recovering from cancer surgery. He married a second time, but took that as a chance to have an affair with someone almost two and a half decades younger than him (while investigating the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.) Once he ditched his second wife, he married the "other woman" and, in an ironic twist, converted to Catholicism for her. In summation, there are many layers to the onion that is Newt Gingrich.
