Hello - she chose to have an adulterous affair with him and then married that adulterer and is now bitter that he was an adulterer?
She now says: “I refused. That’s not what a marriage is supposed to be.” Great - she changed her point of view. That is very good. She realizes that she and Newt were wrong to commit adultery while newt was married to Newt’s former high school teacher who had seduced him while she was his teacher.
Then Callista and Newt also later realized that they were wrong to commit adultery while Newt was married to the adulterer Marianne.
So everyone involved agrees that adultery is wrong.
But Newt (the sexually doomed statutory rape victim - his first wife was his high school teacher and seduced him when he was only 16) is somehow the evil one?
Wake up. You may be willing to excuse Newt by dumping on Marianne Gingrich.
Irrelevant.
Newt cannot defeat Obama with this story hanging on him. Sorry. Better to admit it now than later. If it was published already in 2010 that doesn’t negate it’s impact now, not so much among Republicans as among the general electorate, should he get the nomination.
So what if Marianne is bitter.
Even if his first marriage was a mistake and “didn’t work out,” and he gets something of a pass on that and the hospital divorce request story is a lie and all of that.
He cheated on his “second” wife. That alone is bad enough. But he was narcissistic enough to ask her to let him have a steady mistress??
Do
you
really
expect
the
general
electorate
to
give
him
a
pass
on
that?
Think hard about this, now, while there’s still time.
Pardon my bluntness...
I’ve seen many marriages break up and the cheaters get married, only to cheat yet again.
Why?
If you cheat (male or female) you are a whore. You can’t expect lifelong fidelity and happiness with a whore - sorry, sweetcheeks, nobody is that special. When you choose to diddle around on your spouse, neither cheating-party member should have any expectation of respect.
She got a good dose of KARMA. How is that newsworthy?
I think this interview helps Newt, as most folks who have been through a divorce know how nasty they can be.
I also think Callista, or whatever her name is, ought to be worried as heck. There’s always going to be a future Mrs. Former Speaker waiting in the wings.
