Well, this thread sure shot down that other bullshit thread about the cancer bed divorce myth...
Don't you clowns ever fact-check anything...?
Have you nothing substantive on which to focus.By Cynthia Tucker
Ive known Newt Gingrich for a long time. I remember when he was first elected to Congress from Georgia, and I remember his swift rise as a pugilistic, bombastic back-bencher. He can be fun in conversation if you enjoy intellectual combat, and I do. He can also be pompous, self-serving, overweening and hypocritical. He uses words as weapons, with little regard for whether what he says is actually true. If he has a moral core, its hard to pinpoint.
I have known the Newtster long enough that I remember his very unpleasant divorce from his first wife, Jackie. Thats bound to come up since hes now holding the anti-Romney chair in the parlor game that passes for a GOP presidential primary. And, over the years, hes done a reasonably good job of playing defense on that subject, persuading many journalists that their initial reports of that divorce were wrong.
No, Jackie Battley Gingrich was not on her deathbed. Those who said so were wrong since shes still alive.
Last year, one of his daughters, Jackie Gingrich Cushman, wrote a revisionist history of the infamous hospital visit, in which she even claimed that it was her mother, Jackie, who wanted to end the marriage. Perhaps thats true. I dont know since I was not there.
But I do know the younger Jackies version of events is quite different from what her mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, told The Washington Post in 1985. Newts first wife told Lois Romano:
He can say we had been talking about it (a divorce) for tne years, but the truth is that it came as a complete surprise. Hes a great wordsmith. . .He walked out in the spring of 1980 and I retruned to Georgia. By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said Daddy is downstairs and could he come up? When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from surgery.
Why bring that up when there is so much other Gingrich baggage to discuss? I just wanted to set the record straight since that was a crucial piece of my early understanding of the Newster.
The truth about Newt Gingrichs first divorce
Sooo, now we know the truth - directly from the mouth of Newt's first wife, Jackie Battley.
How are you righties going to spin this...?
Is "fear" why you rightie clowns bash Obama...?
Actually yes, in a way - fear of what the implications are about a nation which would elect Obama, and especially the implications of the media which would do everything in their power to facilitate it.
When people like Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose are talking like this days before the election, you know due diligence wasn't done. And it is terrifying that we as an American people let that happen.
Charlie Rose - A conversation with Tom Brokaw
So, we're loud, and maybe louder than we need to be, because we still can't tell whether people are listening and thinking or not. So maybe we're a little strident in our desperate attempts to wake people up, but the fact that Obama got to be president with as little experience/exposure as he had justifies our alarm.
You people really need to snap out of your delusional stupor.
Seriously.
Why would someone fact check on something they don't care about?Well, this thread sure shot down that other bullshit thread about the cancer bed divorce myth...

if you voted for mr obama, i'd avoid the use of words like *delusional* and *stupor*.
no need to thank me; virtue is its own reward.

Absolutely!!!!! McCain and Palin would have been sooo much better...
No but he was getting blow jobs in the halls of the White House and pseudo screwing that fat bitch Lewinski with his Davydovs."The truth about Gingrich's first divorce" brought to us by the people who ignored the "bimbo eruption" squad. Bill Clinton set the standard for sleaze. Who cares about a regular divorce?
Duh, Bill Clinton has never been dee-vorced... he's a family man...
I would ask you to connect the dots on how that relates to anything in this thread, but I think you would just reinforce how much of a lunatic you are.This is sooo funny coming from Newtie...

No it is what Obama is doing TO the country and the American people.It is okay to admit fear, democrats.
Really it is.
Is "fear" why you rightie clowns bash Obama...?
Same difference. Both are each yellow journalism liberal rags.Sooo, it's a "soap opera" when a leftie tries to correct the record... Cool, Marsha...
I'm simply commenting on your drooling interest in National Enquirer fodder. THAT is interesting. Your subject matter is not, unless you like soaps and the such. I don't.
Duh, it was actually The Washington Post.

Oh..So now "he's a family man" no longer matters....Family Values: Democrats don't go around preaching them - Republicans do.
