Newt's Ex Exposes His Skeletons

Newt Gingrich's Skeletons: His Past Wives

Newt Gingrich is a phoenix. He's risen again and again from political ashes and appears to be ascendant once more. Rumored to be running for president in 2012, Gingrich is an icon in the Republican Party, an eminence grise at a time of lost leadership. His fall from grace in the late 1990s seems a blip, rather than a political ending.
Thus the cover story in Esquire Magazine, September issue, written by John H. Richardson.

If anyone knows something about Newt Gingrich, it is his former wife, Marianne, and Richardson scored an interview with her. She is someone with a bone to pick, one that stems from the ending of their 18-year marriage with an affair. She knows a lot, and has never before spoken out. Richardson notes she is a "Tea Party" conservative. She believes in what she thought Newt Gingrich believed in, too.

Newt proposed to Marianne (she was 28, he 36) in 1980 while his first wife, Jackie, was in the hospital recovering from treatments for uterine cancer. He hadn't yet even asked her for a divorce. Newt met Jackie in high school. She was his geometry teacher. He was sixteen, she was 25. When he left, Jackie was nearly destitute. Jackie, the Esquire story reports, "had to get a court order just to pay her utility bills." <more>

I saw Jack Van Impe ministries hawking St. Newts book for him.

 

[Political Junky]

So, Newt and his wife have battling books.

 

[Mad Scientist]

We had a serial philanderer, Bill Clinton, as President for two terms. How would you grade his job performance?



Yeah, that's what I thought.

 

[Charles_Main]

Hippocrates.

All you did was cry we should not look into Clintons Private life.

All you do is talk about how great a president Clinton was.

So

why are you posting BS about Newts Private life

And

Why does it matter, If Clinton could be a low down dirty whore and a great president so can Newt. It is not relevant. You told us so.

 

[uscitizen]

Clowntoon? Better than either Bush but still sucky.

 

[uscitizen]

Newt/Palin 2012!

I hope.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

While Newt pursued Clinton, he was having an affair also. What a hypocrite.

 

[uscitizen]

And lets not forget Newts other book deal. Contributors buying cases of his books to get past limits on routing him money while speaker of the house.

 

[Political Junky]

So clever and crooked as hell.

 

[uscitizen]

So clever and crooked as hell.

Yep that is Newt to a T.

 

[Mad Scientist]

So clever and crooked as hell.

Yep that is Newt to a T.

All President Newt would have to do is have an intern sukk his cawk in the oval orifice and you guys would defend him to the bitter end. "It's just sex, it's not an impeachable offense!" you would all say.

Unless you're all hypocrites that is.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

His affairs are scummy....but even he doesn't dump his wife on her sick bed....that's more a Republican move.

 

[jswiftproposal]

I just can't see this taking anyone by surprise... This is politics, moral unaccountability and double-standards are the specialty of politicians! XD

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Did Bill Clinton preach morality while dumping his wife suffering from cancer?


sad, that you would belittle what Newt did by comparing it to mere philandering

Moralists in life rarely have lives worth imitating.

Newt has always been a big asshole.

So Newt is now a Roman Catholic? How appropriate.
Newt Gingrich's Skeletons: His Past Wives

---

Callista Bisek, Gingrich's current wife, became his mistress first and his wife second (really third, if one is counting wives), while Marianne was home visiting her mother. In 1999, Marianne had just been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Newt asked Callista to marry him before he and Marianne had agreed to divorce. The affair had been going on for years. Newt compared Marianne to a "Jaguar" and Callista to a "Chevrolet" and said he needed a Chevrolet, not a Jaguar, according to the Esquire story. In 2000 the couple wed.

Even so Gingrich continued to give speeches about family. "How do you give that speech and do what you are doing?" Marianne asked him. They were in the death throes of their relationship. "It doesn't matter what I do," he told her, according to the Esquire story. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I say. It doesn't matter what I live."

He recently converted to Catholicism and asked Marianne to agree to an annulment. "It has no meaning," Marianne Gingrich told Richardson. (Amy Sullivan, writing in Time magazine last year, noted that it might be a prep move for a 2012 bid, and also noted that Callista is a lifelong Catholic and sings in the choir.)

Shouldn't conservatives be holding Newt to the same standards they wanted to hold Clinton to?

Why would conservatives change the standards NOW?

 

[Middleman]

The Republicans better come up with someone better than Newt or Palin if they want to stand a chance against Obama.

Newt is short and funny looking, with no charisma or sex appeal. Palin is a laughing stock.

 

[topspin]

Republican will tear Newt a new ass before he even gets to democrats, no way in hell he gets the nomination even though he's fat, old, white, and in the good ole boy's club.

This turd actually say's it doesn't matter how he lives, it's what he says nobody can say it like him. BHAHAHAH I hope he runs. He's only second in comedy to Palin.
