“Jackie, was in the hospital recovering from treatments for uterine cancer. He hadn’t yet even asked her for a divorce.”
Who wrote this garbage?
Newt and his first wife had already agreed to a divorce BEFORE her cancer discovery.
To this day she is alive and doing fine.
Gatun! Good to see you.
That was always the story I heard — that he slapped papers on her in the hospital. If untrue, somebody ought to have objected years ago.
The whole thing is so tawdry that it gives me the creeps. I think Newt is brilliant, but I cannot vote for him. (I said that about McCain too, and then I did.)
Come to think of it McCain had a similar episode — divorced the wife who waited patiently for his return because she was no longerthe “swimsuit” model that he had married and she’d been injured in an auto accident. The REagans were very upset about that and helped her find a job.
Aren’t there any decent men out there capable of leading this country?
