Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin came to Newt Gingrich's defense Thursday night as allegations about his second marriage threatened his surge in South Carolina's primary.
Hours before the airing of a controversial ABC News interview with Gingrich's ex-wife, Palin appeared on Thursday's radio edition of the "Sean Hannity Show." She noted that Marianne Gingrich's claim that Newt wanted an "open marriage" will do anything but damage his 2012 hopes.
"I call them dumbarses," said Palin in the interview, referring to the media

As a matter of fact, I’m on record here at FR stating that Gingrich is my preferred candidate of those remaining. (In JimRob’s poll, I specified that I ranked my choices as Gingrich, Perry, and Santorum in that order).
I’m just cautioning against reading too much into Palin’s statements. She hasn’t gone “all in” yet, and it’s disingenuous to pretend that she has. At the same time, I could come up with quite a few potential reasons for her to be holding back, but I don’t have enough information to hazard a solid guess on which I think is right.
I do, however, have a problem with headline trolling, which is a major problem with the media (old and new) where the headline gives the impression of something that is not supported by the article.
You sound too cynical to care much about anything, including whether Newt’s immersion into faith, and joining the Catholic church indicates anything, or is at least worthy of some consideration by people who care about the sanctity of marriage.
Well, Romney's main surrogate seems to be John Sununu, who advised Bush, Sr. to raise taxes and to appoint David Souter to the Supreme Court. So you're probably right.
Once again. Palin is explicit in her defense of Newt; not only against King and ABC but her comment on Marianne as a disgruntled ex wife. Disgruntled means, “sulky, moody, discontented. It is not flattering to Marianne in any way, shape or form.
I knew there was a reason I liked Sarah—Good for her!
Newt/Palin in 2012!
Damn Straight!
