All Things Gingrich

[Will E Worm]

Newt Gingrich digs himself a deep hole

It was Hillary Clinton, back in 2007, who said there are no do-overs in life. That is especially true for politicians. If there were, Newt Gingrich would be grasping for the opportunity.

Gingrich’s presidential hopes have always been problematic, given his controversial history. The rocky opening to his campaign has made those odds far longer. If he learned from past mistakes, as he claimed shortly before he declared his candidacy, it was not evident in the days that followed his announcement. What will he learn from this week?

Not for the first time in his career, Gingrich is backpedaling. But more than taking back words may be required in this case. Gingrich has undermined his candidacy not simply because, in the eyes of many Republicans, he attacked House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) plan to reform Medicare. His greater problem is that he reminded people, friend and foe alike, of his inability to keep his rhetoric under control.

Newt Gingrich - The Dark Side

Newt Gingrich: The 5 juiciest details from his ex-wife

The potential White House candidate allegedly likes to compare women to cars, and started dating his high school math teacher when he was just 16

Twelve years after leaving Congress under a cloud, Newt Gingrich leads other possible GOP presidential candidates in many polls. The former House speaker has been in public life a long time, so most Americans know something about his politics; but, in a lengthy profile published in Esquire, writer John H. Richardson asks, "Just who is Newton Leroy Gingrich, really?" To uncover the answer, Richardson got Marianne Gingrich, the second of Gingrich's three wives, to sit down for a rare interview. Here are her 5 most shocking claims:

1.)He began dating his math teacher at age 16:

2.)He cheated on his wife, then compared her to a car:

3.)"Family values" don't apply to him:

4.)He borrowed jokes from his ex-wife:

5.)"He's a sociopath, but he's our sociopath":

But what Newt wasn't telling people in 1998 was that Clinton wasn't the only one seeing other women. Gingrich himself was cheating on his wife of 17 years, Marianne Ginther, during the proceedings.

It turns out Mr. Family Values had been seeing Callista Bisek, a woman 23 years his junior, behind his wife's back. But that's OK. You see Gingrich would make an honest woman of Bisek in the end. In 2000, Gingrich divorced Marianne, and married his third wife, Callista.

The Hypocrisy of Newt Gingrich

Newt "Do as I say, not as I do" Gingrich: just another unelectable GOPer. At this rate, Sarah Pee and Michele Bachmann are going to have the nomination wrapped up by next January.

He sounds more like someone I'd want to have a beer with, not vote into office.

Newt Gingrich: "Any Ad Which Quotes What I Said On Sunday Is A Falsehood"

The man has no shame.

I think Colin Powell would be a decent choice, but a better choice might be Condoleezza Rice. She's had multiple roles in the Bush administration, giving her experience and numerous contacts, both foreign and domestic. Maybe it's time a woman had a chance to run the country. Oh god, please don't let it be Palin!

 

[CunningStunts]

Shame he's such a trainwreck of a man, because he's wicked smart and has some good ideas policy-wise.

I'm arranging a hunting weekend for you with Dick Cheney.

Why Dick Cheney?

Why Dick Cheney?

He has a habit of shooting his buddys on hunting trips.

Dick Cheney blasted a fellow hunter on an outing. Apparently mistook him for game.

Gotta love Minnesota for left-wing wackos. A "blue" state with a "red" House and Senate, a lefty Governor and two of the most liberal United States senators. What an odd mix.

And now that Jim Traficant is out of the picture, you guys now have the distinction of having the goofiest member of the House of Representatives: Michele Bachmann.

Congratulations! :clap:

Congratulations!

And the dubious distinction of having elected the first Muslim Congressman into the US House, Keith Ellison.
