Newt Gingrich’s new Facebook timeline is the most extensive I’ve ever seen: it includes his date of birth, high school and college graduations, his daughters’ dates of birth, and reams of data about his accomplishments in Congress. What it doesn’t include: any mention of his first or second marriage. Apparently, it’s not just Millennials who are susceptible to the temptation to selectively edit their history on Facebook.

I couldn't resist punning around with this one:
Go easy on Newt. He likely ran up against the character limit.

Ooof. Apparently also a believer in revisionist history, but not recidivist history.

Ah, so many ways you could go with that.

I don't see why you'd expect anyone to put things on their facebook page that aren't complimentary . . . I mean, if you do facebook (I don't) would YOU enter anything along the lines of "And here's some dirt on me . . . " ?

Hmmm . . . as long as we're on the topic of omissions in one's personal history, since Ms. Trinko seems less than enthralled with Newt's facebook page, I have to ask - does Obama have a facebook page, and if so, did Ms. Trinko review that one as well?

That seems kind of obvious. How does NRO even publish that with a straight face?

Newton is a serial adulterer.  If he has problems with the truth in his personal relationships, what makes anyone think that he does not have troubles with the truth everywhere else in his live.  Oh, sorry, he's a politician.  Lack of veracity is the number one qualification for that lifestyle.
