The Inner Quest of Newt Gingrich (1995: Marianne Promised To "Undermine Everything" For Newt)
PBS.org ^ | September, 1995 | Gail Sheehy

Posted on 01/18/2012 5:23:38 PM PST by TitansAFC

........But his greatest presidential stumbling block may be right under his nose. At home, Newt's second wife, Marianne Ginther Gingrich, tells me she doesn't see herself in the First Lady's job. "Watching Hillary has just been a horrible experience," commiserates Marianne. "Hillary sticking her neck out is not working."

What happens if Newt runs?, I ask.

"He can't do it without me," she replies. "I told him if I'm not in agreement, fine, it's easy" --she giggles at her naughtiness. "I just go on the air the next day, and I undermine everything...I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be."

Why not?

"Right now, the presidency is not a single person. It's not so much what he'd be doing. It's what I'd be doing.".........

It's easy.

The first one was his teacher and doing him when he was 16. They married when he graduated from HS and had 2 kids.

The second one is Marianne and an oddball. They were separated for 6 years, reunited and she gave this controlling statement about ruining Gingrich a year later.

No, I didn’t know anything of that. I don’t pay attention to personal lives. I’m not interested, except in rare or criminal cases, like Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick, Kathleen whatwashername? Willie? etc. I love history, but so much of the media reports are lies and smears, when it comes to Republicans and cover-ups whenever the subject is democrats.

Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.

Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.

Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!

Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

I’m not sure that they’re frantic. Pretty sure Newt and his close associates have been prepared for this witch.

You betcha, I’m praying that South Carolina voters will reject this ugly ploy. Old news, and given by a very angry, very bitter, rejected, degenerate second wife, wanting to smear her ex. Happens in court rooms all the time, but she will not be under oath, as though that would matter to this scorned, resentful witch.

Yes, too bad he didn’t let it be in ‘88!
Oh well. Good night. I hope you can sleep through!

Drudge is all about Mittens...and definitely biased. I listened to Hannity a bit today and can’’t stand to hear him anymore....these guys were once a bastion of good news rightfully reported...now they've gone the way of the others...self promoting and an embarrassment to hear......I stopped listening to Fox over Christmas...and selective radio is about it now.

I saw Talent on Kudlow Report tonight. Remember when Rove went on TV right after that Christine chick won, and went into total melt down?

Well Talent was not as shrill or loud, but inwardly seemed to be totally unglued and very angry. Standing up for mittens and slamming Newt. Kudlow was zinging him that he thought Newt was going to win S. Carolina.

Talent replied that last time McCain was behing when he went into S. Carolina, so they thought Romney was doing great to be ahead. Then cited a bunch of stuff real fast how their candidate appealed to all of the various factions. Then said something on the order of we are happy with our nominee and looking forward to facing Obama.

Very snooty and as if the convention had already happened and mittens was crowned. Remember after Rove had the meltdown, it came out that the Establishment candidate had a bunch of money that he was going to give to RNC to support a bunch of other candidates.

So that got me to thinking. Wonder how much money Romney has pledged to “buy” the nomination from the RNC?

I read the interview with her a few weeks ago. She didn’t have anything earth shaking to say at that point.

It is ridiculous to believe he is a victim of his wives. He was the cheater.

You don't know that.

Titans,

We suspect that the Cain bimbos were paid by Axlerod. I suspect the same in this case, and with the other bimbo that came out against Gingrich.

Obama wants to face Romney so he can use the nuclear card against him, his Bain Capitol experience (stuff not revealed by Newt, but much more serious charges involving the FEC vis a vis a Bain Capitol controlled company. These are being saved for the “October Surprise”. Not only that, but they can play the OWS card, as well as the flip flop card.

Finally, don’t be surprised that the Dems go as far as to prop up a third party candidate to run, then drop out at the last second (to depress turnout and allow the Dems to retake the House and hold the Senate).

I guarantee you that any dirt she can dish against Newt is already known by her hair dresser and all the ladies in the hair salon where she goes.

It’s unbelieveable all the private boudoir stuff women talk about in hair salons.

The minute Newt surges because of the debates, they’re back at it again to bring him down. It’s too bad the public can’t just tell the media that they are not going to pick our candidate. The only way the negative ads are going to stop is if people just ignore them. But if they continue to influence the weak and the timid, big money and the media will continue to determine the outcome of elections. So we really don’t live in a democracy.

how come Bill Clinton is condemned for his infidelity around here, but, Newt is given a free pass ?

Is Newt taking BJ's from interns? Is he groping the breast's of party followers? Is he raping admirers and then telling them to put ice on it? I admit I'm not up to date on Newt's sexual proclivities. I heard he brought divorce papers to his sick first wife in the hospital. So at least he visited her.

This does show that Newt has bad judgement to let a harpy like this into his life. A truly smart man would have saw this bimbo coming a mile away.

I’ll take Newt over the rest of pack as it stands right now, but geez...was his ego that out of check he couldn’t see this bi*ch for what she was? Especially at the height of his national prominence?

This is why many conservatives turned on him during the Clinton impeachment. Newt and Trent did everything they could to tap it down.

I hate to have to hold my nose, yet again, in this next election.

Complete fabrication that was repudiated by Newt's Daughter.
