a hypocrite?

Clinton wasn't the only high ranking politician having an affair during his presidency. Newt Gingrich admitted that he was having an affair while he was pushing for Clinton's impeachment. Is he a hypocrite? As he argues in his interview, he was impeaching Clinton for lying under oath, not for having an affair. As Salon.com reported back in 1998, Gingrich's history of affairs isn't anything new. But it does seem hypocritical that he was trying to impeach Clinton for lying about something that Gingrich himself said he would've lied about given the need.

"We had oral sex," Manning revealed. "[Gingrich] prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" She added that Gingrich threatened her: "If you ever tell anybody about this, I'll say you're lying."
