You know who this benefits?
Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husbands career with a single interview. Earlier this week, she sat before ABCNEWS cameras, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.She spoke to ABCNEWS reporter Brian Ross for two hours. Her explosive revelations are set to rock the campaign. But now a civil war has erupted inside of the network, an insider claims, on exactly when the confession will air!
Just a little more late intrigue for a race thats already in flux from Newts post-debate surge, Palins quasi-endorsement, Santorums possible victory in Iowa (the official results will be announced tomorrow morning), Perrys uncertain status vis-a-vis calls for him to drop out, and yet another debate tomorrow night. Drudge says the interviews tentatively set to air Monday, after the vote in South Carolina, but reporters from Politico and the NYT are hearing itll air tomorrow, presumably before the debate. Im surprised his ex didnt insist that it be broadcast ASAP. If shes coming clean now after years of silence, just as hes readying his last stand against Romney, shes obviously doing it to try to take him out. If you were her, wouldnt you want it to drop before the primary?
Actually, she hasnt been completely silent. Go read the Esquire piece from 2010 that everyone will be murmuring about until this thing finally airs. Quote:
Back in the 1990s, she told a reporter she could end her husbands career with a single interview. She held her tongue all through the affair and the divorce and even through the annulment Gingrich requested from the Catholic Church two years later, trying to erase their shared past. Now she sits quietly for a moment, ignoring her eggs, trying to decide how far she wants to go.
Heres the most sensational bit, after she found out about Gingrichs new mistress:
She kind of guessed it, of course. Women usually do. But did she know the woman was in her apartment, eating off her plates, sleeping in her bed?She 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 cant handle a Jaguar right now. He said that many times. All I want is a Chevrolet.
He asked her to just tolerate the affair, an offer she refused.
Hed just returned from Erie, Pennsylvania, where hed given a speech full of high sentiments about compassion and family values.
The next night, they sat talking out on their back patio in Georgia. She said, How do you give that speech and do what youre doing?
It doesnt matter what I do, he answered. People need to hear what I have to say. Theres no one else who can say what I can say. It doesnt matter what I live.
If her interview runs along those lines Gingrichian egomania and hypocrisy but nothing criminal or lurid I dont know how much itll change things. You never know what information voters have and havent fully assimilated about a candidate, but Newts values problems have been public knowledge long enough that I take it theyre already mostly priced into his stock. Hes going to say shes a disgruntled ex whos making things up and, in any case, that hes found redemption in his faith since the divorce. Unless shes got a bombshell shes ready to drop, how many voters thinking of voting for him at this point will really think twice?
Exit question: If the interview does air tomorrow, how hard will Santorum and Romney go after him at the debate over it? Santorums desperate to have social conservatives unite behind him, but this is an awfully messy attack to try with the, er, Chevrolet sitting in the audience in front of him.
“The only way thats possible is if hes royally p*ssed at us.”
That’s right!!

This is all to get Keystone off the headlines. This is thugbama at his evil best.
Agree. The last four years should be warning for us.
The days where his income that was thoroughly investigated was found to be in 100% legal compliance by the IRS... that income?
Axlerod is a master of slime and is close to liberal media.
I wouldn’t leave him entirely out of the equation to let Romney take the blame for the story, but destroy the one who is breathing down Romney’s neck. THEY WANT TO RUN AGAINST ROMNEY, bad. The media and the Marxists despise and fear Newt. He rolled them once and has the wherewithall to do it again.

I don’t think the Church nor America has hardly learned a thing yet.
The problem with Rudy... is that he sat around and did nothing while 40-60% of the babies conceived in New York City were systematically murdered in their mother’s womb.
Love the term. Will be using it frequently.
She ain't no victim, and she ain't no martyr.
She's an instigator and an enabler.
But, from the looks of her lately, the ol' "reap what you sow" is catching up with her.
The GOP has thrown the election already . It’s plain for all to see .
Republicans have a choice between Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.
I lean heavily towards Santorum, but could accept Perry.
I don't expect perfection of any political candidate, since all of them are politicians.
Either Rick S. or Rick P. are acceptable as the Republican nominee for POTUS, IMNSHO.
I really don't care what current game the unelected, union steward equivelants of the “official” Republican Party have planned.
And no, Romney will not get my vote if he does become the the latest winner of the lessor of two evils selection.
Many of these passing their judgement may want to revisit the following . . .
“Amazing Grace”
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That savd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relievd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believd!
Thro many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promisd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who calld me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Having observed Ghettobama like a hawk for a few years now - I see exactly what is happening.
Sadly, the gullible morons will not.
No dice. Rudy Giuilani supports abortion and homosexuals wanting to make a mockery of marriage. There was a good reason why people who supported him were banned.
