The Gingrich campaign launched a preemptive strike as news spread that ABC plans to broadcast a potentially damaging interview with Newt Gingrich’s second ex-wife on Thursday – just two days before Saturday’s crucial South Carolina primary.
Gingrich’s daughters (from his first marriage) Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Cushman came to their father’s defense in a letter released by his presidential campaign.
“The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved. Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events,” the daughters said in the letter addressed to ABC News Leadership.
“We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves,” the letter said.
The daughters also said the former House Speaker intends to stay on message, suggesting one thing he will not be talking about in South Carolina is the ABC interview.

“Newt and his Children”
And the Children love him.
As I said before, if the EX is all they have, the Libs are in trouble.
” If Newt dropped out, then about 3 people would watch tomorrow’s debate. “ <<<<
You can take THAT to the bank! If Newt dropped out a lot of us wouldn’t be seen again until primary day and it is scary with all the R’s in this race; Rick, Rick, Ron & Romney, that votes would go to RON PAUL! Yikes. People are defiant though and the rest are clearly just not masters of the game and it shows.
Good idea. Perry’s 3% two days before the voting is so impressive.
Look, the time for infighting is over. We finally knocked mittens back, today, and we need to advance and start eviscerating HIM.
No more time to luxuriate in candidate comparison. Drop that crap and advance into battle RIGHT NOW. I’d like it if Perry was leading the charge, but he ain’t so quit worrying about which leader the army is carrying.
We, the Army, won November 2010 with no leader. We don’t need one now, either. Well, legally we do but it’s about us, not any titular head.
Still no proof, except that he'd had enough--and to me, that isn't proof.
Now here's Newt who treated his first two wives as trade-ins for something more 'presidential', fully documented, and no one should be surprised that it gets brought up. I'm only surprised it has been virtually ignored this long.
Bet they were hoping to wait a lot later before they played this card. He handles this and it is basically home free. He is still the most brilliant man in the race.
Pray for America
Newt will not drop out. That’s ridiculous. His ego would kill him with its bare hands if he did.
But I enjoyed the last debate. Rick Perry was very good and so was Newt. Santorum - not so much. Romney - smooth but predictable and careful and a liar.
Ron Paul revealed that he should be using H. Ross Perot’s theme song.
Let him earn it from performing in the debates. ... And not with what - 3% in the most recent SC poll:
"InsiderAdvantage Poll: Gingrich Now Leads Romney in S. Carolina Newt 32% Mitt 29% Santorum 11% Perry 3% "
I think they will both stay in till Florida.I didn’t see Santorum telling that to Perry.
We are seeing The Democrat standard of situational ethics in action on the Repub side from the very same people accusing Gingrich of using the “language of the left.”
Ponder this everyone. All these people in the media and here defending Romney’s version of capitalism and slamming Gingrich say “So what, it’s Legal.” Now hold that thought a sec...
Hypothetical: Imagine those very same people in the states where 16-17 is ‘age of consent”. How many would say “So what, it’s legal” if a 50 YO suitor came calling for lil’Becky?
Different thing? Really? I mean lets face it. Being consistent with that “So what, it’s legal” line of attack pretty much demands Lil’Becky has a new ‘friend’. So which is it? Is “legal” acceptable at all times” or is it not? Or do we go lib and say “it depends”. It, by it’s nature,cannot be OK for one and not the other without adopting situational ethics.
Don’t lash out at others because your boy is taking a big hit today.
Uh, coming from his daughter?
This isn’t a response from Newt at all.
Let’s hear it from the man himself.
:)Piss off.
This is serious business, and frivolities will not be entertained this late into the war."
That's how to roll.
“The news has been out for YEARS”
It was only two years ago that now Tea Party Activist, Dick Armey, did an in-depth interview about Newt that appeared in th Atlanta Journal Constitution. Wasn’t flattering, to say the least. It’s hard to imagine anything Marianne Gingrich could present that would be worse. Newt’s scandals haven’t really been treated as scandals for whatever reason. If she makes it personal, it’s not likely anyone will care. I remember it was rumored that he told someone that she didn’t look like a first lady should look. Far-fetched. We pretty much know Gingrich. I think all the candidates, except Santorum, will be happy to leave Lindsey Grahamville.
South Carolina is weird these days.
Hey, your candidates seem fated to be done in by women.
Where are you going next?
Let him lash. True colors.
Free enterprise? Like Enron never happened? Capitalism is not an ideology whose devotees are made pure through its practice and who every action must be defended. Businessmen can be crooks and shady operators, too.
He’s created a great, balanced response for a very unhappy situation.
His ex wife must have alot of rage to launch her crazy self on televison to make a specticle of herself like this. She’s going into a shark tank. Glutton for punishment?
One of the things liberals will try to hurt him with is the lie that he impeached Clinton for having sex outside his marriage while he was doing the same thing. We must respond that Clinton was impeached for commiting perjury in court during a sexual harassment civil court proceeding. He lost his liscence to practive law for lying to the court. Perjury got Clinton impeached, not extramarital sex.
