Meet the wives .... Beware!

1. disgusting to know that he sweated all over them

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. lol

[yourout]

2. Newt would have to be able to purchase a newer model if he wants to dump Callista.

Not sure what he would be able to score given his track record.

[jberryhill]

5. Perhaps he will institute a program similar to "cash for clunkers"

Newt wants to save marriage in this country. Since "cash for clunkers" seems to have helped the auto industry, perhaps he has similar ideas about marital relations.

[demtenjeep]

3. if he will cheat WITH you, he will cheat ON you

[Tennessee Gal]

4. Exactly right.

Calista shouldn't get too comfortable with ole Newtie.

[haele]

32. I don't think she cares.

She was a "campaign manager" whom he apparently admitted didn't care if she had to share him or not. She's probably just as happy with the profits she can make off him.

6. That's why diamonds are a girl's best friend. n/t

[doc03]

7. What is with the eyes on that last one?

[GoneOffShore]

9. Too many face lifts.

And you don't want to look at her shoulders.

[Scuba]

17. One more face-lift and she'll be wearing a goatee.

[GoneOffShore]

21. Onward and upward!

[PCIntern]

24. ...and we won't mention the bags under her eyes! n/t

[Missy Vixen]

26. She's 45

Why has she had a face lift? Those procedures don't usually start till 50's at the earliest.

Then again, if I had to be married to Newt Gingrich, I'd be signing up for permanent sedation...

[GoCubsGo]

29. She's only 45????

I would have put her at 55, minimum. It's amazing how bleaching one's hair can age them.

[Avalux]

39. Holy crap! She's only 45??

I'm 46, haven't had a facelift, my hair isn't bleached and I look a lot younger than her. Wow.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Looks like a cheap vinyl blow-up gone bad......

[pangaia]

11. As I understand it

Calista has had some type of problem/condition. So I prefer not to make fun of her looks.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. really ? what? how long has he been married to her? nt

[GoneOffShore]

22. You're here all week? And I did tip the bartender.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. ????

[GoneOffShore]

27. It was a funny you made, yes?

And comedians quite often say: "I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your bartender."

No intended snark to you.

Now, if there had been a "rim shot smilie" I would have put that instead of the drummer.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. lol. guess you have to say that with an accent, huh. Funny thing

is, I was serious...the poster said she had a condition (I assume because she has bug eyes) and I was
wondering what it was.

[GoneOffShore]

30. Actually my bad. I meant to reply to the comment about

Facelifts and goatee's.

Arrrgggh - damn bifocals and this getting old crap!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Hahaha. I re-read my post and thought, hmmm, don't see anything

remotely funny...but who knows, I hate Thirty Rock and Modern Family and the
whole world thinks it's funny.

[haele]

38. She might have had a condition, but she also had a terrible plastic surgeon. Yes, I'm catty -

But I've seen pictures of her prior to 2005, (link to some below), and she has gone from a fairly attractive, far more natural appearance during her late 30's-early 40's (with a vaguely Princess Diana look) to this rather brittle looking over-done high-society matron stereotype that is an over-the top mix of the plastic surguries of Laura Bush and Cindy McCain.
She might be have had an allergic reaction to the several plastic surguries she's apparently had since 2000. In which case, I'm sad that she has that problem, but that should have been a warning sign that she should have stopped before she went too far.

Why do so many of the Republican ladies want to look like they belong in a Barbie Box? A shallow observation, true, but right behind any talent or activity that one is doing at the time, appearance plays a major role in the way people react to you. If you want to project that you are capable, serene, and intelligent, you make attempts to cultivate that appearance. What does one project when one affects a manufactured, plasticine appearance?

8. I think the first wife looks the best and probabl was better looking when younger

his current wife looks phony.

[Broderick]

12. Callista scares me

That is all.

[Snarkoleptic]

13. Callista looks like she's got a case of Stepford Wife Eye.

[KharmaTrain]

14. I Thought His Current Wife's Name Is Cealis...

Proves again, when a rushpublican talks about "family values" he/she/it is refering to a drug store chain in Montana...

[alterfurz]

15. "Callista" would be an awesome name for an antidepressant...

...prescribed for people married to Newt Gingrich. -- Andy Borowitz

[stevenleser]

40. There already is one pretty close, Celexa.

[KharmaTrain]

16. New Family Pic...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. hmmm. pic of Newt in much younger years. nt

[blockhead]

23. Why is Callista wearing a helmet?

[haele]

31. I hate to comment on looks, but I can't help it with Callista - she reminds me of -

the "seductive female" Martian in "Mars Attacks" - just give some length to that hair of hers, put it up in a beehive bouffont, put her in a floor-length draped dress, and she could have stepped right out of that movie.
Just saying.
Of course, Newt is starting to look like the Staypuft Marshmallow man, so I'm starting to wonder if there's a warp in the reality field around them both.

Haele

[stevenleser]

34. Ooh, can I use that? (Mars Attacks) Do you want credit?

Too good not to share!

[haele]

35. If you'd like - I'd be suprised if no one has thought of that before -

To me, it was a mix of her modified appearance and that she was supposed to be Newt's campaign "brain" that used her management savvy to get (or marry) farther in the political sphere than most of those in her job category generally get.
Though some of her choices strike me as questionable for someone who is supposedly as intelligent and capable as her reputation suggested she was. But then again, it's been fairly easy to run most Republican campaigns - there does not seem to need to be any depth or substance, just tent-revival style rhetoric flourish and glitz.
No attributions necessary. You just need to than Tim Burton for the model.

[siligut]

36. Anyone else think Callista looks like Cindy McCain?

Just too weird.

[AtomicKitten]

37. Callista looks really, really surprised.

Callista/Chicken Lady separated at birth --

[RebelOne]

41. Please, lay off the Ginrich's wives.

They are not blame. Their only sin was marrying a jackass. I am sure when they first married the idiot that they did not know what they were getting into.
