I said it was sex and I was right..Newt wanted

WASHINGTON -- As the political world waits to hear what Newt Gingrich's ex-wife had to say about their failed marriage in an interview that will air later today, the reporter who conducted that interview, ABC Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross, told WMAL's Morning Majority program that Marianne Gingrich claims her ex-husband wanted an 'open marriage.'
"He came to her and said, 'I want to stay married to you and still have an affair with Calista, his current wife," said Ross. "According to Marianne, he said 'You need to share me,' and she said 'I don't want to share,' and the marriage ended," he added.

Ross told WMAL that ABC News had been trying to land the interview with Marianne Gingrich off-and-on since November, and that she finally agreed to sit down with him last Friday here in Washington.

The thought of this jackass thinking he's just too much MAN to limit himself to one woman is totally gross.

Frankly I don't see the appeal but who am I to criticize some other woman's taste in men.

'You need to share me,'. I remember pundits were saying Obama was finished when he said people are "bitter" when going to the polls.

then his next words would be spoken through broken front teeth and a bloody lip. I think Michelle would just let him have it!


Ok, maybe she wouldn't punch his lights out, but I don't think it would be a quiet discussion.

Just a fleeting thought of Newt and Calista together makes me shudder and triggers my gag reflex.

Jan 2012

Last year, in a written affidavit to the conservative FAMiLY Leader, thrice married Newt Gingrich pledged to “defend” traditional marriage between one man and one woman, writing, “As President, I will vigorously enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, which was enacted under my leadership as Speaker of the House, and ensure compliance with its provisions.


” “I will support sending a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman to the states for ratification. I will also oppose any judicial, bureaucratic, or legislative effort to define marriage in any manner other than as between one man and one woman.”



But as the former House speaker gains steam as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney in the lead up to Saturday’s South Carolina primary, his second wife, Marianne Gingrich is claiming that he did not live up to his public proclamations. In an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Brian Ross, Gingrich claims her ex-husband wanted an open marriage. “He came to her and said, ‘I want to stay married to you and still have an affair with Calista, his current wife,” said Ross. “According to Marianne, he said ‘You need to share me,’ and she said ‘I don’t want to share,’ and the marriage ended.

Newt is the best republican nominee we could ever ask for
