WEST DES MOINES, IOWA In our interview, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich discussed what kind of First Lady his wife Calista might be.
Gingrich is quoted in the new e-book THE RIGHT FIGHTS BACK, by Mike Allen and Evan Thomas, saying she would be in the Nancy Reagan mold. So thats where we started.
What did he mean by that? I asked.
First of all she is a very strong personality, which Nancy Reagan was, Gingrich said. She actually describes herself as being a cross between Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush with just a slight bit of Jackie Kennedy tossed in and I think there is, somewhere swirling in there, the model Calista would like to live up to.

It was hard to avoid attaching a big BARF alert to this article. This on the same day that Gingrich claimed the nomination as his. Unseemly, I say.

She kinda creeps me out. But there’s been worse—much worse.

I have to agree... and I’m actually leaning towards Newt.

Just spotted this post, and all I can say is...
You have got to be kidding me!
This is hard to take, and while I really appreciate his fast mind in debate, this is a real turn-off.

On second thought... Is this the beginning of the destruction of Newt?
Inquiring minds, and all that.

You’re right. Unlike Moochelle, her ass isn’t two ax handles wide!

This on the same day that Gingrich claimed the nomination as his. If pro-amnesty Newt thinks the nomination is his he should stop and consider where the GOP candidates were at this time 4-years ago.

She actually describes herself as being a cross between Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush with just a slight bit of Jackie Kennedy tossed in This could really get insufferable.
Then I wonder again how Callista reacted when she heard his second wife (the one Newt cheated on with Callista) said Newt explained his affair with Callista by saying, "You're a jaguar and I need a Chevrolet."
Don't ask me what it means, but it does NOT sound good.
Details at # 21.

I don’t give a shit, Newt.
I’m having a hard time financially.
Just make sure she’s not Moochelle; the American peoples’ patience is at an end with paying parasites’ and their partners’ bills and we really don’t give a shit about your choice in wives.
Save the country if you get elected, ok? Or we’ll throw your ass out.

Well, she seems to have good taste in clothes :) but I don’t care for her eyes, or perhaps it’s her makeup. She looks hard.

I think there’s something weird about people in this situation having a $500,000 tab at Tiffany’s. I’m not against spending money, Lord knows, but what a strangely ostentatious thing to do under all the circumstances.
