Newt Gingrich does not lie.  We know that because Newt Gingrich says the the Clinton impeachment was not about sex, but about perjury.  Surely a man so set on punishing perjury would not hisownself be a  liar.

Oops.

Newt Gingrich claims that it was his first wife, not Gingrich himself, who wanted their divorce in 1980, but court documents obtained by CNN appear to show otherwise.

Newt claims that his first wife was the one who wanted a divorce, not him.  He even says that on his website.  From the case documents, it’s obvious that’s not true.

Now, I understand that Newt has been divorced so many times that it’s hard to keep them all straight.  But, it appears that both his previous wives were surprised that he wanted a divorce.  And, personally, I think that’s why he married Calista – bless her heart, her face has been botoxed into a perpetual state of surprise.  That way, Newt won’t know her reaction when it’s her turn.

That last thing is just a guess on my part.  I don’t know that for sure.

Thanks to Brian for the heads-up.
