That worked out so well for Newt, didn't it?
Except of course, that Newt’s naughty predator teacher wife had abandoned him (because he wouldn’t go back to Georgia) not the other way around. It was she who desired the divorce. She chose living back in her hometown over living with her husband.
The leftist press made much of his delivery of the divorce documents while she had been getting a benign tumor removed. It was the divorce she wanted. She had left him a long time before and he had moved on.
Perhaps poor Newt was too old for her. Some cougars just like ‘Em young.
Yes Newt was seeing someone else prior to the divorce and annulment. Absolutely he should have waited. But then, absolutely Jackie Battley had no business banging one of her students, and having done so and later conceiving a child by him she should have stayed in DC where he was employed no matter how homesick she got. Consequences.
I point all this out because she was creepy and her behavior in banging one of her students warrants it - even though she did get him to marry her later. Not because I wish to support Nancy Pelosi’s co cheerleader in trying to pass the carbon credits scam.
