“her mother did not actually have cancer.”

Maybe I'm being picky, but why couldn't the writer just say

“her mother did not have cancer.”

Because using the word “actually” infers she had another serious ailment so Newt will still look bad.

You have to love Journalists, they are more transparent than the Obama Administration but they just don't realize it.

What bothers me about this parsing is that Jackie Battley (First Wife) had surgery for uterine cancer. I believe they are trying to make the case that the cancer was removed so she not longer “had cancer” at the moment the divorce papers were brought in.

It makes Newt seem pretty pathetic to me.
