Go Anderson!

For too long I have been listening to the inane ramblings of D. Wasserman-Schultz.  She is, in my eyes, someone who can not be believed.  Anderson Cooper went after her misquoting of the L.A. Times in a campaign fundraising email (fear mongering once again), and didn't back off.  Despite his reading to her (over her constant interruptions - she seems to love the sound of her own voice) the exact quote from the LA Times, she doubled down on her misrepresentation and it is all here:  http://cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2012/08/24/ac-dnc-chairwoman-keeping-them-honest.cnn

It's so rare to see the media so doggedly try to get the truth out of a politician/campaign spokesperson, that I applaud Anderson for being so determined to get the truth out there.  Great job Anderson!  And Debbie, you can't pull the wool over the eyes of intelligent Americans, no matter how hard you lie.

Newt, the question was not despicable, however, your actions have been.

At Thursday's presidential debate, moderator John King of CNN had the audacity to ask Newt Gingrinch about the allegations surfacing that day from his second wife, Marianne.  Newt, who was married to Marianne  and carrying on an affair with the good Catholic girl he later married at the time he was calling for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for extra-marital shenanigans, took extreme umbrage at the question, and replied, in part: "To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine."  http://uk.news.yahoo.com/gingrich-slams-ex-wife-close-despicable-anything-imagine-004300067.html

I don't need much of an imagination to think of far more despicable things.  In fact, I need no imagination at all - I merely have to look at Newt's life for despicable acts:  1) Leaving his first wife after she was diagnosed with cancer for mistress-turned-second-wife; 2) carrying on an affair with yet another woman while married to second wife all while calling for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for less than the egregious acts which Newt committed; 3) leaving the second wife after she was diagnosed with MS for the mistress-turned-third wife; 4) ethics violations costing him $300,000 as assessed by his own colleagues, which ethics violation information Newt refuses to disclose; 5) claiming to be a "Catholic" now, in part, thanks to his third wife, a "lifelong Catholic"  - not only is this claim despicable, it is offensive to true Catholics (true "lifelong Catholics" as his present wife has claimed to be, would not have been involved in an adulterous affair with a married man for years. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/27/newt-gingrich-catholic_n_854562.html ) .   All of the above is far more despicable to me than John King's question seeking a comment/explanation as to the charges.

If a man cannot keep a vow he made before God, his friends and family (more than one time, mind you), do you really expect him to keep true to the Oath of Office of the President of the United States?  If the people a man is supposed to love the most cannot trust his word and fidelity, then why should we the people trust him?

Hubris, of a far less degree than Newt holds, has been the fall of many a man.
