1976: While still married to his first wife he met Anne Manning. "We had oral sex," she said. "He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'"
1980. While still married to his first wife he met Marianne Ginther. They married in August 1981, six months after his divorce. (Hmmm. Ginther and Gingrich. Seems like it would be a good match.)
During Gingrich and Ginther's divorce proceedings, congressional aide Calista Bisek --23 years Gingrich's junior--admitted to having a six-year affair with the former congressman. Bisek and Gingrich were regularly seen having breakfast together at the Supreme Court cafeteria throughout the 1990s, though their affair wasn't outed until 1999. At the time, Gingrich had publicly condemned former President Clinton's infidelities with Monica Lewinsky, while discreetly carrying on an affair of his own. According to Ginther, "He'd already asked [Bisek] to marry him before he asked me for a divorce." Gingrich and Bisek married in August 2000.
When questioned about his multiple marriages in March 2011, Gingrich admitted to Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody that he had done "things that were wrong" during his married life.

After being married to Ginther for 19 years Gingrich asked the Catholic Church to annul the marriage. (Let’s just pretend it didn’t happen.)
Almost a quarter of a century of affairs brought on by his passion for his country. Looks like Leroy was no slouch when it came to patriotism. I hope folks have read the fine print in his Contract with America.
