MARIANNE GINGRICH HAS SOMETHING TO SAY.... Disgraced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) has a special kind of appreciation for marriage. Gingrich, for example, haggled over the terms of his divorce from his first wife while she was in the hospital, recovering from uterine cancer surgery. He had already proposed to his second wife before he was divorced from his first.
In the '90s, this happened again. Gingrich had an affair with a 33-year-old congressional aide -- while spearheading the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton -- and asked his third wife to marry him before he was divorced from his second.
All of this, of course, would be easier to overlook if (a) Gingrich didn't seem entirely serious about running for president in 2012; and (b) Gingrich weren't running around saying things like, "The Democratic Party has been the active instrument of breaking down traditional marriage."
The middle wife -- the one between Newt's first and third marriages -- is Marianne, who once boasted she could end Gingrich's career with a single interview. Marianne has shown remarkable restraint for over a decade, but appears to have given that interview to Esquire.
It's a very lengthy piece, but the anecdote that's likely to generate the most attention comes in her telling of the point in May 1999, soon after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, when Gingrich confessed to one of his affairs -- with a woman who was in Marianne's "apartment, eating off her plates, sleeping in her bed."
[Marianne] called a minister they both trusted. He came over to the house the next day and worked with them the whole weekend, but Gingrich just kept saying she was a Jaguar and all he wanted was a Chevrolet. " 'I can't handle a Jaguar right now.' He said that

The DemocRATs are bringing her out of mothballs from 2010. Hehehehe.. getting nervous are they?
Game on.
So basically they are rehashing crap she has already said..WOW..desperate much Romney(Yeah I Believe that Romney’s people are behind this) they see him surging in the polls are are scared poopless. Its an EX WIFE, no one divorces someone on good terms, otherwise they wouldnt be getting divorced. What could she say that he did that was so terrible, he eats cats?
LOL! This is true of every male candidate who ever ran for any office! This bitch is lucky she didn't go to jail like Mary Kay LeTourneau for screwing her student Newton Leroy when he was 15.
She has something to say? Does it have anything to do with saving our country from the grip of socialism?
Does she have anything to say about crony capitalism, or how to restore the principles of our Constitution?
So basically this is all a rehash of stuff people already knew?
We already know Newt was a bit of cad when it came to marriage and girlfriends overlapping. Nothing new there.
Now, if she’s prepared to say that he hates puppies or something like that, we may have a problem.
Spare me from ex-spouses with “something to say”.
She can say she caught Newt in bed with a goat and he will have to PROVE it didn’t happen.
As Newt’s X and as hated by the Left as Newt is ANYTHING bad she says about him will be accepted as gospel.
Anyone still blame him for leaving this witch? I wonder how much she’s being paid to smear her ex husband? That’s fine, if she says ANYTHING that can’t be proved, ANYTHING, she and ABC need to be sued until Newt owns them both.
I know what cronyism is, and I know what capitalism is, but I’ve no idea what crony capitalism is.
Perhaps you ought to stop using the language of communists before you lose your economic system.
Mmmm....wrong wife...I think you mean wife #1 (Jackie), who was quite a bit older than Newt.
I wonder if they’ll bring Larry Sinclair out of mothballs too.
That’s it? Who gives a rip!

Wow - where have I been not to have heard that? Do you have any more red meat about it to enlighten those of us that are in the dark?
What a crock. Newt already said long ago that he did it because "he loved this nation so much".
If this was 1996 and Newt was running for re-election ABC (I suppose) would be 100% in the can for him.
PS: Clinton was not impeached because of having an affair. It was the lie under oath that got him. george stephanopoulos should know that. ;)
According to the ex wife, Newt isn’t fit to be President..yeah but Obama is LOL..WOW so much attention to an ex wife..Newt Gingrich has been in politics for what, 40 years, and all of a sudden NOW this woman decides to come out with her BS..you can bet Romney’s people are 100 percent behind this..Sarah Palin pretty much put the stamp of approval on Newt last night on Hannity, his poll numbers are improving, and now all of a sudden this broad is coming out with these allegations against Newt..please..it was ALL planned by Romney and his goons
1. No...I don't blame him for leaving this witch.
2. I imagine someone is paying Marianne handsomely.
3. Agree....I hope - if nothing can be proved - that Newt sticks it right back to this witch & the MSM by swatting them all away/pressing charges, post haste.
No doubt! And George Stephanopoulos!
Romney is a liberal and favored by ABC and the GOP establishment.
I think this will backfire. She came across before as angry that Newt left her for Callista. (Pay back)
Perhaps if you read a couple of Governor Palin’s speeches on the subject, you could get educated.
