For one thing, Gingrich pioneered a denial of adultery that some observers
would later christen "the Newt Defense": Oral sex doesn't count. In a
revealing psychological portrait of the "inner" Gingrich that appeared in
Vanity Fair (September 1995), Gail Sheehy uncovered a woman, Anne Manning,
who had an affair in Washington in 1977 with a married Gingrich.

"We had oral sex," Manning revealed. "He prefers that modus operandi
because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'" She added that Gingrich
threatened her: "If you ever tell anybody about this, I'll say you're
lying."

Manning was then married to a professor at West Georgia, the backwater
college where Gingrich taught. "I don't claim to be an angel," she told
Sheehy, but "he's morally dishonest."
