VOTE ONE 'SCANDAL'By Wendy Harmer

Sometimes Twitter can put something so succinctly you have to applaud: @LOLGOP If a woman repeatedly cheats on her husband, they call her a “whore”. But if a man does it, the GOP calls him a “frontrunner”.

Incredibly, a Fox News commentator has written that Newt Gingrich, Republican presidential hopeful, three times married, might make an even BETTER president because he's an adulterer.

Here's the reasoning by psychiatrist Keith Albow from Fox.com:

"You can take any moral position you like about men and women who cheat while married, but there simply is no correlation, whatsoever – from a psychological perspective – between whether they can remain true to their wedding vows and whether they can remain true to the Oath of Office”.

Albow adds that Gingrich's ability to tell his wives the "incredibly painful truths" that he was leaving them for another woman could make him just as up front with the American people. He’d be an asset, in fact.

(For more of his jaw-dropping reasoning, see below*.)

While it may be true that infidelity doesn’t impair your ability to govern (the American populace loved JFK), you do have to ask whether the voters would ever want to feel as abandoned and pained as his second ex-wife Marianne Gingrich was when he asked her for an "open marriage".

She had this to say: “How could he ask me for a divorce on Monday and within 48 hours give a speech on family values and talk about how people treat people?”

A day after he told his wife about his affair with Callista Bisek (now his third wife) in May 1999, the former House speaker delivered a speech titled “The Demise of American Culture” to a group of Republican women in Pennsylvania.

Marianne Gingrich said she rejected her husband's suggestion that they remain married while he kept a mistress. It's been reported that Gingrich asked his then wife “to just tolerate the affair”.

For my part, I reckon if he wanted an open marriage he should have asked first.

Dishonesty is what’s at stake here. It’s not even a charge of him wanting to have his cake and eat it too.

It’s more like: “Crap, I got caught eating this cake. Hey, want some?”

And that’s a cake with bullshit icing.
