Falwell and Gingrich

Somehow, even with the excuses, it still smells like hypocrisy to me. Gingrich was slow to go after Clinton for his affair and was careful to point out the problem was lying, but it seems the coverup was on the side of Gingrich and Falwell as well. I believe the hypocrisy would have been avoided if both Fallwell - who seems to have known of the affair- and Gingrich - who had the affair - would have just said something along the lines of "Yes I've had and am having an affair, but the problem is Clinton lied under oath." But then the proceedings towards impeachment wouldn't have gone as far.
