NEWT EX-WIFE UNLOADS ON CAMERA; NETWORK DEBATES 'ETHICS' OF AIRING BEFORE SC PRIMARY

**Exclusive** Wed Jan 18 2012 18:47:14 ET

Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's 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, and her explosive revelations are set to rock the trail.

But now a "civil war" has erupted inside of the network, an insider claims, on exactly when the confession will air!

ABCNEWS suits determined it would be "unethical" to run the Marianne Gingrich interview so close to the South Carolina Primary, a curious decision, one insider argued, since the network has aggressively been reporting on other candidates.

A decision was tentatively made to air the interview next Monday, after all votes have been counted.

Gingrich canceled a press conference on Wednesday to deal with the matter.

"He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected," Marianne Gingrich, Newt's wife of 18 years, explained to ESQUIRE last year.

UPDATE: The AP reports ABC is now likely to air the segment Thursday on NIGHTLINE.

msm can ALWAYS find dirt on conservatives. Good thing that Marxist ideologues dedicated to the overthrow of US govt are so far above controversy.

For a network to debate ethics assumes that said network has ethics to begin with—FAIL!

” NETWORK DEBATES ‘ETHICS’ OF AIRING BEFORE SC PRIMARY “

Oddly enough, they have no problem ‘leaking’ non-stop innuendos about the interview...

(Which, when/if it airs, will in all probablility turn out to be “No there, there”...)

Did the democrat on Fox news say that Newt wanted to become a swinger?

The question on everyone’s mind: Will Gloria Alred be seated beside this bitter woman during the interview? Newt has made some poor decisions in his personal life - nothing new here but a woman PO’d that she missed her shot at First Lady. They just want to trot it out center stage again. She has given interviews in the past, after this many years new “revelations” are BS and theatre.

Save it until the last week in October.

The main problem with Newt Gingrich is he is a walking bimbo eruption. If this does not come out now, it will come out if he becomes the eventual nominee. If you don't beleive it, just google "Jack Ryan", Obama's first U.S. Senate opponent. Ryan's past was pristine compared to Newt.

Newt is a splendid debater, a great idea man and the smartest guy in the room. But he can best serve the cause by offering to debate coach, generate great ideas and write speeches for Rick Santorum. Or even Rick Perry.

In the immortal words of Congreve, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

Hopefully, the American people are smart enough to judge Newt by the dictum of Robert Evans: “There are two sides to every story — yours, mine, and the truth.”

Translated from LibSpeak
The interview either has nothing new, makes his ex-wife look like a loon, makes Newt look sympathetic or a combination of all three. If it was a campaign ender they would be running it non stop on every channel. The fact that they are dropping innuendo without the actual interview says it isn't as bad as they are making out.

So, she admits that she is unethical and a whore?

This is “the other woman” who is making the allegations. I guess Snow White here forgets her own history. It’s clear that Newt, unlike the left isn’t jumping into a bidding war for her silence.
How likely is it that anything she says is based on provable fact?

The only question here is it the gambit of Always Been Communist to stunt Newt and save Romney or is it to put out unsubstantiated lies that can be later amplified as truths in case Newt wins the Nomination?

I’m really looking to that Tony Rezko expose on Hussein; just like the Bill Ayers appointment or the Valerie Jarrett slumlord story.

They’re so so worried about the ethics of telling us this.

But they’ve told us they did an interview with his ex-wife.
They told us it’s very very bad.
And if our imaginations make it 10X worse than the actual interview then who can blame these moral giants at ABC?

Exactly! Funny how they didn’t manage to find one ex-Girl Friend of Barry...heck they didn’t look for a friend or someone that even knew the guy in college! They did less research into who Obama was than a person running for city council

Exactly, It’s win-win for ABC, they know what they are doing.

My bet is the inuendo is worse than the story and they know it.

They are just trying to build up the viewing audience, Ethics????Ethics??? and the Media THATS a FRIGGIN’JOKE.

I am disappointed with Gingrich’s wife-dumping, but I would also like to see if John Edwards’ wife or mistress has anything to say. I wonder where the womanizing patriotism is?

This has a good chance of backfiring.

We gals already know Newt's a cad. He's still ABO.

His wives are ALL unsympathetic. The first was a cradle-robbing teacher, the second a homewrecker, the third also a homewrecker but so plastic that she's painful to look at...

Who's to like? Who's to have any sympathy for?

Newt's still ABO. Heaven help us, and I'd love to wring the necks of the GOP insiders that brought us to this crossroads!!!

Reports say nothing new in this interview. It’s an ABC hit piece - dredging up decades old material - designed to do one thing - stop the Newtmentum in S.C..
