NETWORK DEBATES 'ETHICS' OF AIRING BEFORE SC PRIMARY
wtf, all of a sudden ethics comes into play. They didnt have any problems running other peoples dirty laundry at any time. Wonder what it is?
Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single interview.
Earlier this week, she sat before ABCNEWS cameras, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
She spoke to ABCNEWS reporter Brian Ross for two hours, and her explosive revelations are set to rock the trail.
But now a "civil war" has erupted inside of the network, an insider claims, on exactly when the confession will air!

ABCNEWS suits determined it would be "unethical" to run the Marianne Gingrich interview so close to the South Carolina Primary, a curious decision, one insider argued, since the network has aggressively been reporting on other candidates.
A decision was tentatively made to air the interview next Monday, after all votes have been counted.
Gingrich canceled a press conference on Wednesday to deal with the matter.
"He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected," Marianne Gingrich, Newt's wife of 18 years, explained to ESQUIRE last year.

ABC Insider: Marianne Gingrich Interview Likely To Air Before Primary; Gingrich Daughters Respond
First Posted: 1/18/12 08:35 PM ET Updated: 1/18/12 08:53 PM ET
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Drudge Report began teasing political reporters Wednesday that a network's holding a "bombshell campaign interview." And soon, Drudge revealed that the network in question, ABC, had conducted a two-hour interview with Marianne Gingrich, ex-wife of Newt Gingrich, that may not run until after the South Carolina primary. The decision, Drudge reported, sparked a "civil war" at the network.
ABC staffers were caught by surprise at the news, telling The Huffington Post that if there was a "civil war," they hadn't heard about it. That doesn't mean there wasn't any debate among ABC executives over when to air the interview, but simply that the war certainly wasn't raging through the newsroom.
It also looks like the interview will air before Saturday's South Carolina primary after all. One ABC insider said that the Gingrich interview, conducted with Brian Ross, will likely air on Thursday's "Nightline."
Marianne Gingrich, the former Speaker's second wife, of 18 years, hasn't been shy about her feelings toward her ex-husband's presidential ambitions, telling Esquire in 2010 that there's "no way."
"He could have been president," she said. "But when you try and change your history too much, and try and recolor it because you don't like the way it was or you want it to be different to prove something new ... you lose touch with who you really are. You lose your way."
"He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected," Gingrich added, in the Esquire interview. "If you believe that, then yeah, you can run for president."
In the Esquire interview, Marianne also dismisses the conversion to Catholicism during his current, and third, marriage. She said it "has no meaning."
It's unclear who leaked the story to Drudge -- perhaps an ABC staffer who didn't want the interview to possibly get held until next week or rival campaign operative hoping to get Gingrich's baggage front-and-center on the influential conservative aggregator. Whoever the source, they got the political tongues wagging just 72 hours before the primary.
Gingrich's two daughters from his first marriage pushed back Wednesday, writing in a letter to the network's leadership that "ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election [but] Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future."
The Gingrich daughters' letter, provided to The Huffington Post, is below:
To: ABC News Leadership
From: Kathy Lubbers, Jackie Cushman
Date: January 18, 2012
The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved. Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events.
We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves.
ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election. But Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future -- about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism. We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having.
Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren -- so they can inherit the America he loves. To do that, President Obama must be defeated. And as the only candidate in the race, including Obama, who has actually helped balance the national budget, create jobs, reform welfare, and cut taxes and spending, Newt felt compelled to run -- to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren's future.

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.

Former Gingrich Wife Says He Asked for ‘Open Marriage’
By TRIP GABRIEL
Newt Gingrich’s second wife says he asked her for an “open marriage” to continue his affair with the woman who became his current wife.
In an interview with ABC News to be broadcast Thursday night on “Nightline,” the former wife, Marianne Gingrich, says that Mr. Gingrich informed her he was having an affair with a Congressional aide, Callista Bisek.
“I said to him, ‘We’ve been married a long time,’” Marianne Gingrich says, in an excerpt from the interview released Thursday morning by ABC News. “And he said, ‘Yes, but you want me all to yourself. Callista doesn’t care what I do.’”
Marianne Gingrich said that was unacceptable to her, and the marriage, his second, ended after 18 years.
It is unclear what impact the interview will have Mr. Gingrich’s momentum in South Carolina, coming just days before the state’s primary on Saturday and on the same day he received the endorsement of Rick Perry, who is leaving the race.
Mrs. Gingrich gave a similar account in an interview with Esquire in 2010, when she said Mr. Gingrich asked her to tolerate his affair, but the timing of these comments, released as polls suggest Mr. Gingrich is gaining ground against Mitt Romney, have thrown a curveball at Mr. Gingrich’s campaign.
Trying to blunt the impact of the interview, the Gingrich campaign on Wednesday night issued a statement of support from his two adult daughters from his first marriage.
At his first campaign event Thursday, Mr. Gingrich did not respond to shouted questions from reporters asking about the Perry endorsement. On Wednesday evening, both men appeared at an antiabortion forum in Greenville, S.C.

yup, He's done... But we all knew this was coming.
LOL that BB went from this being a big deal months ago to saying it doesn't matter now ::)

wait - dipshit lib commies like ourselves were talking aobut how great ron paul was - back in 2007?
Pretty interesting.
You've supported almost every politician under the Sun and have thousands of posts defending Obama. You also disagree with Paul on at least 95% of his viewpoints.
You'll be voting Obama like the good sheeple you are.

I think the ex-wife is probably telling the truth. He admitted publicly he was cheating. He married chick #3.
So the thought of him wanting to keep the marriage publically while getting ass on the side... pretty damn believable.

this would be stereotypical democrat behavior. the GOP- Marriage and the Family, Eagle Forum, et al..don't condone this behavior.
well,
until now....

it woudl be so cute to see repubs falling over each other, bashing the faithful obama on family values, while backing newton "you gotta share me, beyotch" gingrich, as he poses with calista, who cheated with him and was down for being the side dish.
however at this point, every repub except ron paul seems to be flawed, and since yall hate RPaul, ya gotta pick one.

yes, the topic of 'open marriage' will be a great one for the Great American Team on Sean's program tonight.
and Billo's talking point; since he can prolly speak from experience {loofa, anyone?}.

No repub can claim newt can lecture obama on morals.
And you'd better believe, in a debate, newton woudl call out obama in a miunute if obama was the one on wife #3. Can you IMAGINE what we'd be hearing already? "Obama can't decide how many wives he wants, and he wants to tell others who to marry..."
