U.S. Senator Tom Coburn said that he could never support Newt Gingrich for president in 2012. He called the former Republican House speaker a "super-smart man," but added that he "doesn't know anything about commitment to marriage," having been married three times and committed adultery.

According to ThinkProgress, the ultra-conservative Coburn made the remarks at a town hall Friday in Oklahoma. He indicated he would not back a prospective Gingrich presidential bid for 2012.

“He’s the last person I’d vote for for president of the United States…he does not have a commitment to the character traits necessary to be a great president,” said Coburn.
