He is an action oriented individual.

Not many men would hand carry the divorce papers to their cancer stricken wife in the hospital.

That was his long separated wife, who was having a biopsy done on a benign tumor (important because she had previously beaten cancer). She was the one who wanted the divorce and she had left him...in order to go back to being a teacher in Georgia rather than DC.

Jackie had been Newt ‘s geometry teacher.
Contrary to all the perverts on this site, banging your students isn't okay for high school teachers. Not even if they are national merit scholars, and not even if you get them to marry you afterwards. Dumping them when they get a job and a career isn't okay either.

Benlurkin, none of this is a new revelation. It has been discussed repeatedly here at Free Republic.

Newt divorce from Jackie says nothing bad about him. Holding him responsible rather than Jackie for the divorce is morally filthy, whether it is democrats, feminists. .. or you doing it.

You get to decide what kind of person you want to be.

Me, I see women who bang their students in the exact same light as men who want to use ladies rooms in public. I see their defenders the same way too.

“Not many men would hand carry the divorce papers to their cancer stricken wife in the hospital.”

I don’t know any men that would do such a thing.

Did Noot really do that? That’s mighty callous - unless there’s more to the story.

Cushman, May 2011: As for my parents’ divorce, I can remember when they told me.

It was the spring of 1980.

I was 13 years old, and we were about to leave Fairfax, Va., and drive to Carrollton, Ga., for the summer. My parents told my sister and me that they were getting a divorce as our family of four sat around the kitchen table of our ranch home.

Soon afterward, my mom, sister and I got into our light-blue Chevrolet Impala and drove back to Carrollton.

Later that summer, Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her.

It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won’t repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here’s what happened:

My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.

Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother.

She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor.

The tumor was benign.
