Excerpt:
RUSH: Oh, obviously. Hell, yeah, obviously. It could become an issue with women voters. Newt's out there, by the way, made news last night, he denied this. He denied the open marriage stuff. And guess what? There is a woman out there.
Her name is Grandy, Fred Grandy's wife, I'm assuming. And she is saying that Marianne Gingrich is unstable and that all the congressional wives thought that from the get-go, that she was a camera hog, that she was loud and outrageous, egotistical, all these things. And that she was not popular with all the people.
(interruption) What, what, what, what, what, what? Well, I don't know what it sounds like, I'm just telling you what she said.
Let me find the exact story here. "Newt Ally Calls Ex-Wife Unstable, Unhinged -- Allies of embattled GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich are coming to his defense. ... What's more is that they are slapping at ABC, which is set to run an interview," last night. "One former associate of Marianne Gingrich, former congressional wife Catherine Mann-Grandy, told Whispers that the speaker's second wife was often rude, loud and unreasonable, and she doubted her story about the open marriage.
Citing a code among congressional wives, Mann-Grandy said, 'We pretty much kept our lips closed, but Marianne was emotionally unstable and I particularly felt that she was obstreperous and rude.'"
That is in the US News & World Report, Washington Whispers. I'm assuming it's Fred Grandy's wife. Wild guess, but I think I'm pretty good.
VOTE SMART, SOUTH CAROLINIANS!
She’s not actually sitting on anything. This is old news isn’t it?
.. Ping!

Yep, and overcoming the positive that Newt has generated on his own will be tough to achieve.
Suck on THAT you Newt vipers!
Oh and after seeing that picture........
GUILTY!!!!!!!
Well the whole thing bombed, and made ABC look foolish.
Now she can collect her check and go disappear back into the hole they found her in.
And ABC decided that since it didn't have any ethics, it was OK to run with it.
(after 0bama approved it, no doubt)
The MSM are a major part of.. well what else Obama's Morality Police?
I still think of the MSM as Obama's servile, complaisant, undistinguished media (SCUM).
From the 1995 interview:
........But his greatest presidential stumbling block may be right under his nose. At home, Newt's second wife, Marianne Ginther Gingrich, tells me she doesn't see herself in the First Lady's job. "Watching Hillary has just been a horrible experience," commiserates Marianne. "Hillary sticking her neck out is not working."
What happens if Newt runs?, I ask.
"He can't do it without me," she replies. "I told him if I'm not in agreement, fine, it's easy" --she giggles at her naughtiness. "I just go on the air the next day, and I undermine everything...I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be."
Why not?
"Right now, the presidency is not a single person. It's not so much what he'd be doing. It's what I'd be doing.".........

Since ABC made there squalid decision to run the interview after the debate and before the primary, it seems to me that the NEW news is TitansAFC's news: Marianne has been on this jag since 1995.
Here’s something to think about:
If you were ABC news and had this “destructive” interview, wouldn’t you consider whether it would be more effective in hurting Newt now, in the primary, or later in the general election (if he won the nomination)?
Since they opted to run it now, doesn’t this say something about how much of a threat they deem Newt to be?
In the end, they probably did Newt a favor by getting the Unhinged Marianne stuff out now, denying Obama the opportunity to pull it out of the hat later. If Obama tries re-hashing this old old story it will just look petty and mean now.
One thing for sure Journalist THEY ARE NOT. They are nothing more than Political Hacks at best.
