Newt Gingrich’s speech at the University of Pennsylvania Tuesday night Took A Turn for the Worse, well for him…

PHILADELPHIA — Newt Gingrich’s speech at the University of Pennsylvania Tuesday night quickly took a turn for the dramatic when the first student to question him brought up his admitted extra-marital affair and accused him of a being “hypocritical” for espousing moral values. “You adamantly oppose gay rights… but you’ve also been married three times and admitted to having an affair with your current wife while you were still married to your second,” Isabel Friedman, president of the Penn Democrats, said to Gingrich. “As a successful politician who’s considering running for president, who would set the bar for moral conduct and be the voice of the American people, how do you reconcile this hypocritical interpretation of the religious values that you so vigorously defend?” Gingrich, speaking before hundreds at the speaker series event here, tried to cut off the question.
