They're similar, although unlike Clinton, Newt didn't commit a felony as a result of it.
Oh Please... Newt lied his ass off when questioned on something that counted, not whether or not he cheated on his wife (we'll ignore the irony for now)
Ethics Panel Supports Reprimand of Gingrich

The House ethics committee recommended last night that House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) face an unprecedented reprimand from his colleagues and pay $300,000 in additional sanctions after concluding that his use of tax-deductible money for political purposes
and inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented "intentional or . . . reckless" disregard of House rules....
Cole said he had concluded that Gi
ngrich had violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him. He said the committee members were reluctant to go that far in their conclusions, but said they agreed Gingrich was either "reckless" or "intentional" in the way he conducted himself.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/011897.htmThat is a real issue.. not just a blow job.
It's hilarious how you act all pious with that "But he lied" when it comes to Clinton but ignore the lie with it's Newt and Scooter. Both of their lies (one to investigators asking if the VP leaked a CIA agents name, and one to a committee looking into his federal violations) are real issues...that you gloss over and pretend like they mean nothing.... unlike the 'did you cheat on your wife' lie.. That's the one you hone in on, that's the one you go all 'black and white' on..that's the one that matters..
you're such a partisan hack, not unlike Newt ironically..
