ABC will air a "devastating" (?) interview with Newt's ex-wife on Nightline before the SC primary

From MSNBC:

ABC News interviewed Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich's second wife - with whom he's said he has no relationship - and is likely to air the segment Thursday on "Nightline," an ABC News executive told The Associated Press.

That's two days before the South Carolina primary, where the former House speaker is trying to topple GOP front-runner Mitt Romney by casting himself as the more conservative option.


This report says:

The ABC News executive did not indicate what the ex-wife, Marianne Gingrich, said in the interview. The executive spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plans for airing the interview were tentative.


Business Insider has the article that said the interview is "devastating" and is quoting some stuff from Drudge, including his wife saying "Newt isn't fit to be president." Who knows -- that article confused Dateline with Nightline, and the source is Drudge, so take that with a billion grains of salt!
