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.

agreed!
Smacks of “nouveau” to me. Real women don’t need jewels, or demand them either. Ditto, cruises to Greece.
Maybe Newt is lacking in -ahem- other virtues?
At least the dude on the left wasn't a gold-digging tramp.
I gave my reasons that Gingrich will lose in this post.

What’s your analysis of why Gingrich will win?
He waded through hell and swam high waters to acquire them.
Newt, once again, passed up a perfect opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
You guys are sure hard to please.
OMG I just read your link and it explains a lot — like why Gingrich was so silent during the whole impeachment effort. I figured that something like this was going, but this confirms it.
Do you have that picture from Mars Attacks?
That’s just a little too much cleavage for a 1st lady.
I mean, if you want a $45,000 necklace, you ought to be able to pay for it upfront. Not go into debt for it like you're really just pretending to be rich.
>> I gave my reasons that Gingrich will lose in this post.
Uh... that link takes you to the top of this thread, FRiend. :-)
Nonetheless, here’s my amateur analysis of why Gingrich has a better chance.
a) Cain has shot himself in his junk; his wife will finish it off
b) Perry has shot himself in his tongue
c) Bachmann has shot herself up with valium and is trapped in a dreamlike alternative reality
d) Nobody outside of “I Am A Mor(m)on” Utah and MSNBC likes Romney
e) Santorum has shojkkkkkkkjkkk snork oops, sorry, I fell asleep
f) Who am I forgetting?
Gingrich wins by default. No, he’s *not* Ronald Reagan — or even Nancy Reagan — but we could do far worse.
LOL
Obama is so hated, all newt has to do is moderate his tone a little for those pansies and say he could work w deems like he did bubba to get things done and they will vote for him.
Amazing. Here’s a candidate who is showing confidence in his ability to win and lead and he is doing it with ideas rather than bashing his opponents. Frankly, I like his aggression. As to his wife, she is a pretty bright woman maybe not as attractive as Palin but then again, newt is no Rick Perry or Romney for that matter.
>> his wife looks a thousand times better than the wookie.
True, but that’s a pretty low bar to clear. :-)
the words ‘pompous ass’ come to mind.
lol,the owl eyes are a turnoff but she still looks better.
Somebody on another thread added: And a sprinkle of Monica Luwinsky. lol. I thought that was funny. All we need is a First Slut. We haven’t had one of those before.....talk about change. Please Republicans especially conservatives let’s pick a moral couple. I mean really....300 million and we might end up with these two cheaters? We can and should do better.
