Former Gingrich Wife Says He Asked for ‘Open Marriage’
NYTimes ^ | January 19, 2012 | TRIP GABRIEL

EXCERPT

Paraphrasing Marianne Gingrich’s account, Mr. Ross said, “He came to her and said I want to stay married to you and still have an affair with Callista.” Marianne said Mr. Gingrich asked her “share” him, Mr. Ross said. That was unacceptable to her and the marriage ended.

there is a primary this weekend...and Newt has surged

we shall see...and you can remind me

none of this is news and I just don’t see it mattering to much in context

it will not drive conservative voters to Romney and Santorum is just not as strong...even if we like him

I hope the “folks out there” listening to Newt's ex-wife will notice the amazing similarities in timing and testimony to the Chicago women chosen to do character assassinations on Herman Cain. This was planned and rehearsed, bought and paid for.

He’s a great debater. But he is psychologically very needy. The world ends after the tip of his nose. I have studied as a psychologist this type of deeply needy person, desperate to be someone, unloved in some way as a child, and they make very poor leaders.

I have said here on FR that people like him, Clinton, and of course Obama should never be elected.

I am sorry so many of you have your hearts set on him, but his knowledge and sharp tongue are Not Met with a statesman’s heart or a good man’s valiance. I’m not kidding. He is not a good man. The part that you like doesn’t make up for his not being trustworthy.

We will regret a President Gingrich. We really, really will.

Do me a favor. No more negative Santorum talk. It isn't terrible but really not necessary. The poor guy really thought he was going to serve our country. He is not a villain like Romney or Obama. He will most likely drop out on Sunday so until then let's just let him do his thing. Thanks!!!

This is not really relavent and is a distraction.

True, except the msm and Romney will try to make it an issue. We got to get Newt through a SC win and then this stories dies, imo.

I just moved from Maryland to Virginia, haven’t bothered to register to vote in VA, and of course the VA primary is extra-irrelevant because only Romney and Paul are on the ballot.

However, I honestly might have voted for Newt. I like a lot of his policy views, and I’m generally in favor of the (intellectually) smartest guy, which Newt obviously is, by an enormous margin.

I personally don’t care about any of this ex-wife business either, and I’m enough of a student of history to know there are an infinite number of world leaders with hideous personal morals who were tremendous leaders.

However, I:

1) Am rational and objective.

2) Can understand and predict the views of people other than myself.

3) Live in a world where I know a lot of moderates of both parties, independents, and swing voters among my friends, family, and co-workers.

Nice. I’m sure all those people out here that have a spouse in the same situation, really appreciate being stuffed in the same moral box as Newt. Many people actually respect their marriage vows.

how many women registered voters are the “second wife” who has had to deal with a similar shrew?

so good luck with all that

Now this witch is going to be blasted all over the air waves because the whitehouse wants the candidate to be Smitt Romney.

I want to hear about Obama’s past lovers. I only know of one - Larry Sinclair - http://youtu.be/MceFVpJ-Gyc

I am an ex wife. We are good friends. I just sent him a bunch of fancy golf equipment that’s hard to find in his country. Not all exes are ball breakers!! We are both happy with our spouses.

Newt has two options (and I mean this afternoon, and no later).

1) Drop out and endorse Santorum.

2) Give a tearful public apology to Marianne.

The second option has maybe a 5% chance of working.

Seems that makes her as rotten as Newt. No wonder she’s doing what she’s doing.

Romney has won it now. This stinks.

Oh good Lord, really? You honestly think that someone bringing up the fact that Newt has issues with monogamy is big news?

We are down to a used car salesman with marginal brain power who has been married to the same woman for years vs. a giant brain who has the willingness to chew up and spit out those who need it, and btw he has been married several times.

I know who I am voting for.

Well you see by her statement “She is a Jaguar” that made her special more special than any one else EVER and now she will make him PAY for what he did to her since she is just so special.Don’t you see the crazy ex wife showing?

I didn’t say anything against Santorum, other than the fact that Obama and his minions will walk all over him, and I don’t think they can do the same to Newt.

This is the woman he was cheating on his first wife with.

So then Marianne helped break up a marriage and then she complains when it happens to her.

jumped on every big state solution to every so called problem there is.

I think you mischaracterize Newt's history.

If she isn’t bitter, why does she speak out now?
Just to ruin his chances?
