Gingrich doesn’t rule out presidential run.
But I rule it out. Fuck you Newt. You’re a douchebag.

In January of 1997, the full House (by a 395-28 vote) reprimanded Gingrich and fined him $300,000. The sanctions were for “intentional or … reckless” disregard of House rules by using tax-exempt foundations for political purposes and subsequently lying to the House ethics committee….[I was in DC and was seated in the audience at the congress the day he apologized for this. He didn't seem very sorry - Alex]
Many critics of Gingrich has noted that while his party hammered President Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky scandal, that Gingrich himself had a history of what many would consider bad personal conduct. In 1981 Gingrich reportedly informed his first wife, Jackie Battley, that he wanted a divorce just as she had received a diagnosis of cancer. Gingrich and Marianne Ginther were married months later.
Also, during the very time of the Lewinsky scandal, Gingrich was having an extramarital sexual affair with Callista Bisek, a scheduling and assistant hearing clerk on his staff who is 23 years his junior. The affair reportedly began well before Gingrich assumed the speakership in 1994, and continued through his divorce from his wife, Marianne Ginther Gingrich, in 1999. Reportedly, Gingrich’s fellow Republicans knew he was engaged in the extramarital relationship and used that knowledge to ease him out of the speakership.
