"Callista doesn't care what I do"

[Motown_Johnny]

I'm not big on dragging the families of the candidates into the debate but Newt's ex-wife made that statement today and it struck me as potentially damaging to him.


Many people would frown on the fact that his third wife is 23 years younger than he is, roughly the same age as his eldest daughter. Now you can add in the fact that she not only willingly participated in acts of adultery but seems to have no respect for the sacrament of marriage whatsoever.

I have heard all the crap about Newt seeking redemption. I am curious now if Callista has done the same.

1. I have no use for either of them and I'm sure they richly deserve each other

She knows he's a sack of shit who's always looking for a new wife as soon as the old one gets a little shopworn, women are like used Kleenex to him, so she's constantly got to be working out, studying all the latest plastic surgeries if not actually having them, and generally trying to cling to a vanished youth so he doesn't walk out.

He's a self absorbed sack of garbage who considers himself far above anyone he has ever or will ever come in contact with. However, he's now married an ultra high maintenance babe who is going to continue to cost him everything he's got. He will likely die broke and alone because she'll leave if the money runs out. And it will.

I wouldn't want to be either of these pathetic creatures for all the money in the world.

4. I agree with everything you said except that

Calista is not a "babe" by any stretch of the imagination.

[Remember Me]

14. That's not how she meant the term

and your use of it is sexist, IMO.

[Skidmore]

27. And how did I mean it?

[Remember Me]

32. Why I have no earthly idea -- how DID you mean it? nt

[Warpy]

26. She used to be before botched surgery and Botox

even though she shares that vapid brittleness of all right wing women. She's a babe to that lump of decaying flesh she's married to.

[la la]

2. calista doesn't care what i do......

as long as i keep that revolving account at tiffanys

[kestrel91316]

3. It's pretty obvious that Calista cares mostly about her hair, nails, clothes, and jewelry.

[Cleita]

15. There isn't enough makeup and expensive jewelry to

make her classier. She's just as common as dirt no matter what she does.

[redqueen]

5. OMG

Is this her at the time?



(site where I found it: http://mbouffant.blogspot.com/2010/08/newt-gingrich-sick-sad-old-fuck-whose.html)

[Motown_Johnny]

13. Are we sure this is her?

I honestly don't know but it doesn't look like her to me.

If it is then I guess we can see what being married to Newt can do to someone.

[sammytko]

19. The nose isn't the same. Don't think it is her

She has a very prominent nose that is hard to miss.

[Motown_Johnny]

31. I don't think it is her

if you search images for older pics of her she doesn't look anything like that. One site claims that it is Tonya Harding but I can't confirm that either.

[redqueen]

28. Not at all sure,

I was shocked at how different she looked, so I think it probably isn't. It's good to put a face with the 'modus operandi' quote.

[tkmorris]

21. I believe that is Anne Manning

She was a volunteer on one of his campaigns if I recall correctly, and alleges that she had an affair of sorts with him. http://thekitchencabinet.us/2011/11/30/evangelicals-beg-newt-to-tell-the-truth/

Of course, this is all just stuff I read on the internets, so who knows how much is true?

[sad sally]

25. "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'"

from Anne Manning (who was also married at the time.)

[Ilsa]

30. Wow, another affair out there.

I had heard about Newt and his deniability of "affairs" because it was only a BJ.

[JI7]

33. this is the pic that comes up in search and article about Anne Manning

[PA Democrat]

24. I think that was an error

There are a bunch of photos of a younger Callista at the link below.

6. I was struck by that remark too. Very telling. n/t

[yellerpup]

7. Perhaps she prefers the variety available in an open marriage.

That would set well with Newtie.

[dembotoz]

8. was hoping this was a post about calista flockhart and harrison ford

at least they are kind of interesting

[anAustralianobserver]

9. My guess is she said she didn't care during the transition, but once they were

together she insisted on monogamy and he agreed.

On the other hand politicians are known for their open marriages, especially boys club types, so I wouldn't be surprised... though I doubt she'd be out their supporting him as much as she is if there wasn't something real to their relationship (going by first impressions).

[Motown_Johnny]

11. if she is just in it to "climb the ladder"

then supporting anything and everything that raises his status also raises her status.

[KatyaR]

10. I have an opinion and a question:

Opinion--Obviously his wife has no self respect at all. I hope she enjoyed their affair while it lasted, but I doubt she has any regrets about breaking up somebody's marriage. The fact that he's a serial repeater should have been a club.

Question--So which staffer(s) is/are blowing that slimy salamander now? (And you KNOW he's gettin' it....)

[sad sally]

22. Yeah, and am sure he'd justify why it was okay.

Several newspapers are now reporting that Newt Gingrich is dating and basically living with Callista Bisek, a "willowy blond Congressional aide 23 years his junior." Biske, 33, has been spending nights at Gingrich's apartment near the Capitol and has her own key. In an amazing act of hypocrisy, Gingrich was apparently dating Bisek all during Clinton-Lewinsky adultery scandal, even as he proclaimed family values and bitterly criticized the President for his adultery.

Reporters and other Washington insiders have known about this relationship since 1994, even before Gingrich became Speaker of the House, but did not have any solid proof to report. In 1995, Vanity Fair magazine described Bisek as Gingrich's "frequent breakfast companion." Gingrich was married to Marianne Gingrich during all of that time, and just filed for divorce in August 1999.

Newt is apparently trying to create a new hybrid form, Christian adultery. According to MSNBC, Bisek sings in the National Shrine Choir, and Newt would often wait for her at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, listening to her sing while he read the Bible.

This is hardly the first time Newt has cheated, either. "It was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his [first] marriage to Jackie. Maybe not on the level of John Kennedy. But he had girlfriends -- some serious, some trivial." -- Dot Crews, his campaign scheduler throughout the 70s. One woman, Anne Manning, has come forward and confirmed a relationship with him during the 1976 campaign. "We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, 'I never slept with her.'"

16. That's another lie from Newt. I've heard that Calista demands access

to all of Newt's Email and won't let him spend a single night away from her ... yeah she really trusts him and "doesn't care what he does".

[Motown_Johnny]

17. that quote is from his ex... Marianne

and it is what she says Newt said to her back when they were married


I have no idea what their current situation is, I just found the quote shocking.

[Raine]

20. Oh OK THANKS, I thought he was claiming

that now, my mistake.

[JI7]

34. maybe she just wants to make sure he doesn't dump her and find a hotter

potential first lady to marry. but she is ok as long as it's just sex.

[KharmaTrain]

29. Cialis Is Definitely High Maintenance...

She must have something really hot going on under that hood to "entrap" Cadrich in being "unfaithful" to wife #2 and then "snaring" him into spending over $1 million on Jewelry and who knows what else that golddigger has gotten (maybe the Gnewtster got Kobe'd...caught with his tiny widget working on another intern).

I think I've heard her say a total of 5 words in the past two months and she stands there with him...a constant reminder of not only his filandering but her gold digging:
