As a Christian, I will neither defend nor excuse Newt’s past adultery. That said, after watching his ex-wife Marianne go off on him on ABC, as a man, I now get why he supposedly wanted an “open marriage.” Holy crikey. That chick is scary! Hell hath no fury like a furry woman. That’s one angry, gangrenous ex-Gingrich chica right there, folks. Let’s see … what do we have here? Lonely and bitter? Table for one?
Now, before I get my inbox stuffed with hate mail labeling me insensitive, calling Newt a cad, and painting Marianne as a damsel in distress, let me state up front that … I know … he was … and oh, please.
Someone help me here. When did Marianne start giving a crap about Gingrich committing adultery? She didn’t mind his “open marriage” policy when she was doing the fig Newton with him while he was married to his first wife, Jackie. I’m sure if the Speaker’s initial esposa were still around she’d have some choice words to share about this duplicitous dame. Alas, she is not. But I imagine that Jackie is in heaven right now watching this sordid ABC tabloid smack screaming, “Hey, Jezebel! Go sell crazy somewhere else, devil bird!”
Yep, this is the same Marianne who was spooning Newt while his wife was in the hospital. Oh, I forgot. I’ve transgressed. I cannot blame Marianne for her adultery. Only guys, especially conservative guys, are the villains in an adulterous affair. Women, according to the lame stream media and the loons on the Left, are helpless victims who are not responsible for their wanton ways. Hallelujah. Ain’t that convenient?
Now, Newt, according to his own admission, was a scallywag. But also according to his own admission, he has repented. Is it BS? I don’t know. All I know is that when people verbally repent we’re supposed to forgive them. I believe that’s how the Jesus movie went. And it looked as if lots of South Carolinians were ready to forgive Gingrich judging from the standing ovation they gave him after he horsewhipped John King when he brought up Newt’s past peccadilloes.
Oh, and by the way, I believe according to Christ that if you look at a woman lustfully you’ve committed adultery in your heart in His holy estimation. In other words, we’re all guilty, and Jesus is the only one ever to navigate that tightrope successfully. As Dennis Miller once said, “He that hath an empty hand, let him throw the first stone.”
Boy, the Left is grasping at straws, aren’t they? They think they have breaking news about Newt’s randy ways. Uh, hello. This stuff has been out there and dealt with now for fifteen years. Fifteen years. As in One Five. But that’s just it: divert, divert, divert—talk about Newt 15 years ago rather than about what Obama has been doing for the last 15 months! Also, you do know that if Gingrich were a Democrat and we found out he just had a chunky female volunteer shine his apple on his election bus 15 hours ago that he’d be hailed as a rock star and defended for his wang dang ways.
My final assessment of this puritanical witch-hunt against Gingrich instigated by the anti-puritanical Left is this: I’m concerned more about how Obama’s policies have radically screwed this nation more than who Newt boinked two decades ago.

My mother and I have both recently run into quite a few people who hold an inaccurate understanding of this hospital visit. Many think my mother is dead.
So, to correct the record, here is what happened: My mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, is very much alive, and often spends time with my family. I am lucky to have such a “Miracle Mom,” as,,,,,
JACKIE GINGRICH IS STILL ALIVE YOU IDIOT!!!!!
I believe Newt’s first wife is alive and well. This urban legend needs to be put to bed.
Pretty much sums it up
From the dumbass article:
*** I’m sure if the Speaker’s initial esposa were still around she’d have some choice words to share about this duplicitous dame. Alas, she is not.****
WRONG!!!!
This inaccuracy spoils an otherwise good article. Jackie Battley is very much alive.
You ladies are funny.
I’d love to shoot the msm in the brain, but unfortunately, even they can’t find it.
First, thanks for setting the record straight. Second, don’t Newt’s wives ever drop his last name? He must have some very special hold over women for them to want to carry his identity with them the rest of their lives. Both of my exes shed my last name so fast, you’d think it was “Obama.”
BTW, I found the piece hilarious. I think we have reached a point in this country where we need to stop cutting women slack in any category. Chivalry is dead — and it’s the American woman who savagely slaughtered it.
Great article! Thanks for posting.
Yes she is
I fully grasp that we're on the brink. My relief with the Mittens trouncing last night has not relieved, in any way, my conviction that we're lost without the firm principles of Judeo-Christian morality, the Constitution and the right people to carry them forward. I am equally convinced that Newt isn't suitable.
Pragmatism has been a political watchword for me for 35 years. I have dutifully pulled the lever, carried water and served the ‘R’ party wherever directed. GWB changed that for me after seven years of steadily compromising away all gains made by grassroots conservatives (citizen patriots) and expanding the magnitude of our problems. Debt load, education bill (Ted's actually - per GWB), the astronomical farm bill, TARP, the Iraq fiasco (duh, Iran was/is the problem). I could go on...
A decade earlier, Newt made his headlines on the backs of groundswell conservatism, not the other way around. If you'll recall, this nation was experiencing a genuine grassroots political earthquake on the issues of socialized medical care, abortion and radical gun control. Average people got up on their hind legs and started doing something. When that freshman class got to DC, the establishment promptly shuffled them into safe obscurity. There was never any heroic confection served by the Dole/Newt team that inspired the masses - they were simply looking to find a leader that mirrored their ideals.
I'm simply done with electing the devil I know.
The time will come when words and principle will matter. Our system is drenched with whores willing to say and do anything to get and retain power. Trusting the nation to compromising careerists has taken us to this point as surely as pulling the lever for Obama because, in the end, it is only the principles that matter.
Flame away - I couldn't care less.
My $0.02.
“I’m simply done with electing the devil I know.”
So you’re done with voting until Jesus is on the ballot? Here’s a clue, he’s never been on the ballot.
Even the Great Reagan was divorced. Quit your bitchin and do your duty and vote.
Here’s another clue, words and principle have always mattered.
sodpoodle is Newt your dad?
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU
So you agree that quitting is the answer?
I agree that moral character is important drift diver. I am so tired of flawed and fallen people that regard the Bible as passe.
EXCELLENT POST
Naughty or nice, Newt is the man!
So don’t start trying
There is no denying.
Obama beware
There’s a man over there
Who has your number in spades
And is going to end your charades
Don’t say we didn’t warn ya
Just scoot back to Kenya that born ya
To your Marxist hell
We don’t wish you well
Tar and feathers are too good for you
These days we do it with Krazy glue
Your Marxist schemes were beyond the pale
Return... and we’ll ride you out on a rail
Get out of America and don’t dare come back
Go live in the 3rd world where you’ll find all you lack
