1. Did it ever run?

[riverwalker]

2. yes, on Nightline tonight. n/t

[freshwest]

4. Thanks, no TV here. Thought it might get censored, though.

[Tunkamerica]

7. by who?

[freshwest]

11. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I despise corporate owned media.

I wouldn't put anything past them.

It's a matter of opinion, and that one is mine.

Are we cool?

[Tunkamerica]

12. Why would they censor their own interview? There was discussion as to when to air it.

[freshwest]

17. Because their owners might have wanted Gingrich to look good. And he won anyway in S.C., didn't he?

I don't have time to argue right now.




About something that is old nooz now.

[Lint Head]

3. The New York Times says it's nothing new and will not negatively impact Newt's campaign.

The New York Times is a right wing rag. This is damaging to Newt and the winger bigots will shun him.

[elleng]

5. This is certainly damaging to grinch.

There are surely more 'right wing rags' than the New York Times, and it was rushlimpb who said
the 'open marriage' request should not harm him, when discussing it, not the Times. "It should not," said Rush Limbaugh, "because he had at least asked permission."

Furthermore, in an Editorial, entitled Moralizing’s High Cost, the Times said:

'In this political cycle, it is Newt Gingrich who has been unable to escape the toxic combination of infidelity and sermonizing. The stories about his three marriages have been known for years, but every time he seems to have escaped the wrath of Republican voters, they rise again. . .

It’s magnanimous of him to be willing to allow voters to decide for themselves on the importance of his moral choices, since he and his party have been so unwilling to allow the public to make its own moral choices.

For too many Republicans, it’s not enough that Americans are free to pray in the house of worship of their choice; they want all children to be required to pray in school. They want to impose their own ideas about sexuality and abortion on everyone. And they love to accuse Democrats of being insufficiently pious. (Rick Perry’s exit from the race on Thursday may mean no more ads accusing President Obama of a “war on religion” and liberals of believing faith is a sign of weakness. Or, it may not, depending on how desperate the other candidates get.)

When Republican officials then get caught violating one of the Ten Commandments, they make an enormous show of contrition and repentance and ask for the public’s forgiveness. But as the hypocrisy level continues to rise, that forgiveness may become much harder to provide.'

6. Seems like they have turned on Mittens, the Newt and Rick the Hair. Would they vote for Paul?

I can't imagine Santorum actually getting the nomination, but then, I never believed they'd give Newt the time of day.

Who knows, maybe they'll dig up a Nixon era crook or even Jeb Bush?

What a depressing collection of reactionaries.

[Katashi_itto]

13. A new canndate is being set up. Jeb or Christy. The Convention will be open.

This is all to rile the base up.

[freshwest]

16. Christie's thuggish appeal is a mystery. Jeb was wanted in 2000 but his first name wasn't George.

Some of GOP faithful were so ill-informed in 2000 as to believe they were actually voting for Bush, Sr. when they voted for Bush, Jr. Really, they were voting to give Reagan a third term.

They'd come out in droves for any Bush. Some of the billboards are still standing with a picture of a smirking Bush, Jr. and the motto:

'Miss Me Yet?'

And they do miss him and the rest of the GOP pantheon, starting with their sacred Reagan.

The GOP is using voter disenfranchising laws, corruption in vote counting and gerrymandering to deliver victory. Their funding from unnamed and foreign sources since Citizens United came down, and their corporate-owned network media and hate radio are in high gear.

Not to mention their church leaders are working to fill heir sheep with fear and hatred. If Jeb gets the nomination, or if any of them gets in to replace Obama, here's how it will be:

Just as you say, this circus is only there to rile the base up. Those in the Democratic party are complacent or who laugh about these clowns aren't paying attention to what the GOP Tea Party brand has done state by state. Nothing is safe from these guys, and all shows of division won't stop them voting in another GOP no matter what name he carries in the end.

Since the party is sponsoring it, anyone they pull out of the hat at a brokered convention would do everything predicted at that link. Their clowns are warning us already what the GOP wants.

8. Move along, nothing to see here

Just imagine if Obama or Clinton had done what Newt did to his two wives and daughters.

When it comes to family values, he is like Attila the Hun.

[aaaaaa5a]

9. Of course I'm not a Gingrich fan but...

I think this makes her look real bad. Right now, she looks worse than him.

[polly7]

10. ummm ...........

not.

[ScottLand]

14. Wow, turns out Newt loved his country even more than we thought!

[Tx4obama]

15. Have ya caught the sneaky way that Newt has spun this? See below ...

I've heard Newt say twice now (since the story broke) that the media shouldn't have brought forward his ex-wife's story BECAUSE everyone already has known for years that he has been married multiple times.
Did you get that?
He is trying to do a slight of hand there.

The issue is not that he has been married three times, the issue is that he told his second wife that he wanted an 'open marriage'.

Both times I've heard him spin the story both reporters did NOT call him out on changing the focus of the issue!

Have to listen to each and every word a republican says when they speak otherwise they don't get caught
Shame on the reporters for letting him get away with his spin!
