I personally don't give a rat's hindquarters about Newt's personal finances, as long as they're legal. He certainly makes enough money to have credit lines at Tiffany's and other high end retailers.

What happened is that Newt has said that if a person is running for president, their whole life should be fair game for questioning. Nothing off limits. Yet, when he was asked about this particular personal detail, he got very prickly and tried to say it was none of anyone's business. By his own previously stated standards, it was fair game.

We've known that Newt is a hyprocrite since the 90s. Nothing new here.

Where is the Newt hypocracy? All I see it is someone went into Newts personal finances and released them illegally. The hypocracy is many on the left saying things like Obamas school records are immaterial, but now proclaiming Newt having a line of credit should be open to the world..

You didn't read my post. Newt said your whole life should be fair game for questioning when you're running for president. But HIS personal life is NOT fair game, even though he's running for president.

The fact that he has these credit lines, as I already stated, is immaterial.

By his own "rules", that's hypocrisy.

I usually make it a point not to respond to you because you're absolutely ridiculously partisan, more of a cult member than anything else, but just in case you may allow a little contrarian truth to pentrate your brain, I will tell you I was referring to Newt's affair in the 90s, at the same time he was castigating Clinton for ... an affair.

I read your posting, I just disagree with your synopsis. Releasing personal finances about another individual is ILLEGAL, thus saying your information is "fair game" one could conclude that they are discussing LEGAL methods, unless of course you support violating laws, which I doubt you do.

Maybe you are better off not responding to me in the future, because I wont need to embarass you AGAIN for being WRONG..

Newt was going after Clinton for LYING UNDER OATH.. A CRIME.. A FELONY, Martha Stewart went to jail for less. Not for having an affair..
