Newt Gingrich's Ex-Wife Goes Public: Messy Relationship Life, Meltdowns, And 2012

A new Esquire profile of Newt Gingrich offers a rare glimpse into the personal life and political ambitions of the former House Speaker as he vies to make a comeback after resigning in disgrace over a decade ago.

Gingrich himself was interviewed for the feature story; however, some of the juiciest insight into the life of the prominent conservative voice comes from his ex-wife, Marianne Gingrich, who he divorced in 2000.

"He asked me to marry him way too early," she revealed. "And he wasn't divorced yet . I should have known there was a problem."

Marianne Gingrich suggested that the former House Speaker found himself in the same relationship pattern eighteen years later when he sought to marry his current wife, then-congressional aide Callista Bisek

<<<snip>>>

He asked her to just tolerate the affair, an offer she refused.

He'd just returned from Erie, Pennsylvania, where he'd given a speech full of high sentiments about compassion and family values.

The next night, they sat talking out on their back patio in Georgia. She said, "How do you give that speech and do what you're doing?"

"It doesn't matter what I do," he answered. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."

1. "How do you give that speech"
Where upon Mr. Gingrich produced a receipt for his soul, signed by Satan himself, and said, "It's easy!"

2. A Classic Example
He is someone who is both an egotist and an opportunist. Scum.

4. Oh come on this is right wing 'common-sense'
Cheating on your wife = 'A private matter - nobody's business"
Marrying the person you love who just happens to be the same sex = "A big fucking deal we need to pass an amendment to prevent this!"


:grr:

9. Another non-candidate, candidate for 2012. There is no way Gingrich will run
and make it past the primaries.
