Newly released court documents cast doubt on Gingrich version of first divorce

Carrollton, Georgia (CNN) -- Newt Gingrich claims that it was his first wife, not Gingrich himself, who wanted their divorce in 1980, but court documents obtained by CNN appear to show otherwise.

The Republican presidential candidate, now in his third marriage, has been peppered with attacks and questions about his divorce from Jackie Gingrich for the past three decades.

Questions about his past -- and what that past tells voters about his personal behavior -- have re-emerged as he has returned to the political scene 13 years after he resigned as speaker of the House.

A new defense that has arisen as Gingrich entered the presidential race this year is the insistence that she, not he, wanted the divorce.

Current Carroll County Clerk of Court Alan Lee said he called the retired deputy clerk, who told him where to find the papers, after CNN began looking for them last week.

The documents, and interviews with people close to the couple at the time, contradict the Gingrich claim about who wanted the divorce.

Yeah, and....?

I though lying about your personal life was no big deal.

 

[JimH52]

Newt's time is over. He should never have been thought a serious player. It will be Mitt.

 

[Stephanie]

Can you believe these people...

We want to know all of the Obama's girlfriends from HIGH SCHOOL.

absolutely pathetic what this media is all about.

I would say yes. But Gingrich says no. Unless it's him doing the lying.

No, it's what vetters do. Or anyone with curiosity. Or oppo-research teams...or ...one who cares to research public records.

Unless you forgot, for example, in 2008 people were all about looking up things like:

Obama's 1992 marriage certificate from the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics.
His driver's license record from the Illinois Secretary of State's office.
His registration and disciplinary record with the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. Not to mention all of his property records.
(don't even get started on the BC, kay?)

etc...etc...etc...
they went to Kenya to get his school records...

blah blah.

You act like it's some kind of crazy for people to examine publicly available documents when a presidential candidate is under the microscope.

What the hell?

???

You think a HS girlfriend is comparable to a 18 year legal marriage with two children??

and newsflash: Reporters DO go searching for candidates old flames, and schoolmates, and business partners, etc...

It's like you're new to politics or something.

 

[Rinata]

It cracks me up that the conservative right wing bunch were very interested in Bill Clinton's love life. But now they say that kind of information is not relevant. Hypocrites!!!!

 

[Big Black Dog]

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover...
Just get on the bus Gus,
Make a new plan Stan,
No need to be coy Roy -
Just get yourself free...

Wow, not seeing it, guy. If she asked for a divorce, it was incumbant upon him to file the papers. The issue in dispute isn't whether they want the marriage to end, but how to divide property and how much alimony should be paid.

Any guy who has gone through a divorce will tell you the man usually gets screwed in these proceedings...

Except we never really were.

Our problem with CLinton was not that he was a horndog. We knew he was a horndog when he was elected.

Our problem with him was that he used the power of his office to cover up, pay off or intimidate the objects of his affection

Getting a blow job from Monica Lewinsky wasn't a crime.

Getting her a $40,000 a year job at the Penatgon when she couldn't write a memorandum was.

Lying about it in court was.

Getting other people to lie was.

Hiding evidence was.

Fail. She never wanted it.

Read the documents.

Her 1985 Vanity Fair interview also clearly states it was never her who wanted it.

Newt's own WORDS at the time said it was HE who wanted it.

He was drinking himself insane and fucking chicks on the desks. His aides and campaign managers were disgusted by it.

It's not, unless you're a candidate trying to run on honesty, ethics and family values.

oh gawd, back to this crap again.
Not any of these candidates can run on that. not even the Obama..

 

[rightwinger]

This wouldn't be the same time he was attacking Clinton was it?

 

[paperview]

This wouldn't be the same time he was attacking Clinton was it?

No, that was his second "Sanctity of Marriage" marriage where he was banging the aide younger than his daughter for 6 years.

Actually, Obama can run on family values. I think it's one of the reasons you guys hate him so much.
