Gingrich talked by phone to Focus leader James Dobson for a two-part installment to air Thursday and today on Dobson’s radio program. And the Associated Press reports that in the second part of that interview to be aired today Gingrich also acknowledged having had an extramarital affair at the time he was leading the charge against then-President Bill Clinton for his involvement with White House intern Monica Lewinski.
"The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus founder Dobson to be aired today, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards.
Gingrich maintains in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity. "The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," he said. "I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials."
