That fall, while she was in the hospital recovering from surgery for uterine cancer, he appeared at her bedside with a yellow legal pad outlining the details for their divorce. Sounds like a real decent man with family values, doesn't it?

Gingrich was also quoted as saying about his divorce from Jackie, "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of a President. And besides, she has cancer."

Regarding the divorce of his second wife, she reported that Newt ditched her eight months after finding out she had multiple sclerosis. Marianne Gingrich, 48 ... says the ex-speaker of the House told her on Mother's Day 1999 that he wanted a divorce, after learning she had a neurological condition that could lead to MS [multiple sclerosis]."

Currently married to Callista Bisek, Newt Gingrich has been married three times. His two previous marriages ended in divorce after he had affairs with younger women and when his wives were seriously ill.

Is this a man YOU RESPECT?
