Newt Gingrich, so says one of his ex-wives, wanted an “open marriage” because apparently there is so much of Newt’s bloated awesomeness available that one woman couldn’t possibly appreciate it all by herself.
In any case, at the GOP debate tonight in Charleston, expect Newt to announce his campaign for an “open presidency,” one in which he would sort of alternate between being America’s commander-in-chief and, say, being the King of Spain for a day or two.
I’m sure Juan Carlos and the Spaniards wouldn’t mind, and after a President Gingrich screws everybody here at home, Americans will be glad to share him with the rest of the world.

I’ll admit that I’m confused as to what real Americans mean when they say, “Family Values.” Maybe Obama is just too married for the Christian right’s moral compass.

Let’s just imagine for a minute what the moralistic right-wing would do if Newt had been married to the same woman all his life, and had, by all accounts, a wonderful relationship with his wife and kids. And let’s further imagine that Mr. Obama had been married three times, had numerous extra-marital affairs, moved on divorce proceedings with both of his wives while both of them were sick (one with cancer and the other with multiple sclerosis), and, to boot, was a fan of “open marriage.”
Is there any doubt that Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins, James Dobson and the entire right-wing morality police would, night and day, appear on Fox bemoaning the corruption of our culture that a tom-cattish Mr. Obama represented?
For all his insufferable moralizing, Newt deserves what he will get (and more) tonight on Nightline.
