Newt Ally Calls Ex-Wife Unstable, Unhinged

Reader Comments
Back to blog

Here's how clever and "intelligent" Newt is. He very sanctimoniously will state that he prefers to take the moral high ground and would never call his ex a liar but instead sadly notes how unhinged and unstable she is. And how incapable, at this fragile time in her life, she is to differentiate fact from fiction. Voila! We have what is known in the business as a manipulative con man. Watch for glib narcissists who are never wrong and who become irrationally livid when confronted with their disparate statements. Clinically, it's interesting to watch. Another thing to watch for: notice what he accuses others of doing. More often than not, and sometimes inadvertently, it will be exactly what he, himself, is actually doing! We are our own very lie detectors if you know what to look for.

If Newt were married to Gabby, he'd be asking for a divorce by now.

I already knew this info about Marianne Gingrich so ABC trying to destroy Newt failed.

Newt, certainly isn't my first choice forpresident...however , the behavior of his ex is both classless and irresponsible, her motives most transparent....many have had bad divorces ,but one doesn't go public and air their dirty laundry for the world to see...truly classless behavior...this won't hurt Newt, but it will certainly paint a picture of his ex that no one will forget ..

He who is without sin, cast the first stone. Who among us can claim this? Apparently not some of those posting their comments.

She must be unstable and unhinged. She married Newt afterall. I don't care if she's telling the truth or not, he's a cad. He had a relationship with Colista for 6 years before he got divorced. Sounds like an open marriage to me. So glad conservatives are willing to give up on all that family values stuff. No pretentious moral high ground anymore. Also nice to see them embrace the value of redemption, but only if it applies to Republican Presidential candidates. Actually, I like Newt. He has a lot of good ideas. Always thought he might make a good cabinet member, Secretary of something (not state!), but president...no way.

Newt says he is a conservative. Really???? He hasn't conserved many marriages.
Some in this forum claim to be conservatives. Conservatives don't conservative anything, the air, the oceans, the forests, the rivers.
Are you a conservative?????
Here is one way to find out.

I highly doubt the validity of this article.
This was written to stop the bleeding of this information. Newt has a reputation of being outrageous, and provocative for many years.
This is not a claim by Democrats, but by many in his own party. After all they were the ones that through him out of the congress as speaker.
I doubt that this old cougar has changed his spots.
It is irritating to see him attack the moderator when asked questions of any type.
The "nerve" they have to ask him a question he doesn't want to answer in a Presidential debate?
Well then when do you ask the questions? After he becomes President?
We are still living with that kind of reasoning with Clarence Thomas.
He is a walking, seldom talking, wholly owned subsidiarity of the Koch Bros.
It's funny how Anita Hill volunteered to take not one but two lie detector test and passed them both with flying colors, and he refused to do the same.
I suggest that the former Mrs Gingrich do the same, and clear herself.
I would be most interested to see Newt do the same. Ya sure he will,..when pigs fly.
Mr. Gringrich just seems to be a gifted speaker, but that is where it ends.
After all show me one con-artist that isn't.
He lacks self discipline, and shows to many characteristics of a sociopath.
He has cleverly jumped on the christian band wagon, so he can say God forgave him all his transgressions.
Really? Gee, according to "his" Christian faith, he is still living in deep adultery.
Not just in the first degree but the second as well.
Did God tell him gee now your running for president, you'll need a wife, so go ahead living in sin, and we'll let this one pass.
Can you imagine what right wing talk radio would be saying if Mr Obama had even one tenth of Gringrich's baggage?
They are mad as hell because they can't find anything wrong with him to hash over, and over, and over.
I just hope that as the campaign continues, the rest of the country is not as gullible and those in SC.
Are we to ignore the fact that Mr Gingrich
if not now, will soon be a product of the Koch Bros?
You might wan't to take a look at this before you decide.

The long and the short of it is this.
We do NOT need a new President, just a new congress.
Just imagine what he could get done for this country if the congress was as concerned as much about our jobs as they are their's.
