So how come such a smart guy buys global warming bunk, takes Fannie Mae money, is in favor of health mandates and calls the Ryan plan “social engineering”?

Smart or slick?

Publicly calling her bitter is not a good move either.

He should be very vague - repeat that he has made mistakes in his life. Wish her well and acknowledge that is one vote he will likely never get.

We’ve seen Newt’s vindictive sign after Iowa - and now this ex is bringing it out too.

Newt makes me nervous with his tendency to self destruct.
He really needs to surround himself with people who will restrain him.

‘In the case of Gingrich, I think the man is an amoral scuzzball who will say or do anything to promote himself, and yet I am expected to wear a gas mask mask while voting and pull the lever for him.’

But Newt is such a great debater, that should wash away his stench. /s

But the pride with which you condemn is a measure of your own state of neediness.

Thank you Dr. Phil. Still tight with Oprah?

The parallels with Clinton are quite amazing.

Along with the "who cares about the past" sentiments that are so heavy today on FR.

The problem is, what’s the alternative?

The GOP has nothing.

I don't care about any of this - the details of Gingrich's marriage with his ex should be of no interest to anyone besides Gingrich, his ex, and a few compulsive gossips who can't resist poking their noses into other people's business.

We face a financial crisis of disastrous proportions, and neither party is willing to even talk about it realistically. Obama just cancelled Keystone XL, throwing away thousands of jobs and a golden opportunity to make the US less dependent on foreign energy sources. And all our news media and political class can find to talk about is this kind of silly garbage.

Great for him, Newt is forgiven, that does not make him trustworthy.

It’s amazing how Newts defenders will overlook the beam in his eye and pick apart the specks in his opponents eyes, because he is forgiven. They are all Christians (maybe not nutball Paul) and are living in a state of grace but Newt is the only one who gets a pass for everything in his past.

How do we know Marianna is telling the truth?

WE DON'T AND NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER. A "he said, she said" thing would never hold up in a court of law. Yet, the media is holding that court right now. They have sunk so far down they are the equivilant of the tabloids, & Jerry Springers.

There is no way that Newt can affectively counter her statements, nor should he. He has to stay the Gentleman here, just as Jane Wyman stayed the lady.

He is in the same position as many men who have been falsely accused of Sexual assault or rape. Many women are born vicious & jealous creatures, getting meaner every year.

Give Marianna time, she is self destructing before our eyes. She will have no friends, no one will associate with her after this and she is to stupid to see that the media don't care either, she thinks they are her friend? rofl.

Marianne Gingrich got what she asked for when she broke up Gingrich’s first marriage. What the heck did she expect?

What? You missed the coverage of the Democrat plant, Crybaby Boehner, attempting to huff and puff about this?

Clinton issue was he lied under oath not his dalliances.
Those were between his wife and him, apparently they figured it out.
Newt as has asked for forgiveness, I beleive in redemption.

And I wonder, after breaking up Gingrich's second marriage, what does Caliste expect?

Romney is THEIR man, not ours

Meaning the RINO Cabal of the McCaineack's and their ilk....conservative Republicans are coming out of the wood work in support of Newt...I am sorry about Perry, a good and loyal American, Texas is lucky to have him. Fox news still wants a fight among what is left of the GOP line up...let's see now, one dud on National Security, three for the US Constitution, two for Law and Order, three against Obamacare with maybe all keeping their word to repeal it without strings, all for tax reform, all for cutting spending...two can't seem to do anything about that....what ever, Newt and Santorum glow with Americanism over Obama's Marxist colors and his disdain for the U.S. Constitution which he "swore" to protect and uphold...

Let sleeping dogs lie

Newt tried that, but the bitch woke up.

Maybe you want to go back and look at the news coverage of those days. It was not Clinton's lying that people wanted to read about and there was nothing private about it, including Clinton and his wife appearing publicly to "explain" the situation. The general public eats up this sort of sordid story whether Clinton or Gingrich.
