You should read the daughter's full story. They had discussed the divorce over the kitchen table in Washington, long before his wife was scheduled for surgery. The purpose of the visit was to give the girls a chance to see their mom in the hospital, not the divorce.

I've never seen conservatives give the Mother Jones rag so much credence.

This was discussed extensively in several posts yesterday. According to the Salon.com article from 1998, which has the correct story about the incident Gingrich has acknowledged and now deeply regrets, Newt took the daughters to the hospital to see their mother, who was in a hospital bed recovering from surgery to remove a tumor which subsequently was determined to be benign. During the visit, and with the children present, Newt pulled out a list of “terms and conditions” for the divorce which he wanted her to sign then and there. A raucous argument then ensued in the hospital room.

They are not interested in the truth.

The Daughters are helping their Dad, Newt, in the campaign with their mom’s approval..

But some Freeper’s just can’t get past bashing him over and over and over hoping against hope to sway some one to their candidate... All it is doing is making them look bad.
