The deceptive lies about Newt are very difficult to uproot from the political landscape. The may seem like little weeds to pluck up with a short sound bite, but they just grow back. Newt has a formidable job to fix the damage done to him.
Take, for instance, his marriage to his second wife, Marianne. The marriage was a convenience marriage, according to Marianne’s own words. It was for the kids. But what got things really nasty was when Marianne came under investigation by the FBI for arms dealing. That was something that Newt could not deal with for it would impact his position as Speaker. Do you blame him for the divorce?
