Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich excoriated CNN’s John King at Thursday’s South Carolina debate for asking if the former Speaker of the House wanted to respond to the allegations by Gingrich’s ex-wife that he had asked her for an “open marriage.”
“No, but I will,” a visibly angered Gingrich fumed. “I think the destructive vicious negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office. I’m appalled you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that.”

“Is that all you want to say, sir?” King responded.
“Let me finish,” Gingrich replied. “Every person in here knows personal pain. Every person in here has had someone close to them go through painful things. To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary, a significant question in a presidential campaign, is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine. My two daughters, my two daughters wrote the head of ABC and made the point that it was wrong, that they should pull it, and I am, frankly, astounded that CNN would take trash like that and use it to open a presidential debate.”
“This story did not come from our network,” King contended. “As you also know, it is the subject of conversation on the campaign. I get your point, I take –”
“John, it was repeated by your network,” Gingrich interjected. “You chose to start the debate with it. Don’t blame it on somebody else. You and your staff chose to start the debate with it.”

Good job Newt. Fuck the media, they deserve respect from no one.
Journalistic integrity is gone, all they are now is a glorified TMZ.

well.............
where do you draw the line?
if candidate X had be caught giving a male staffer a blowjob and it was all over the news...
would it have been something to bring up then?
if news had just broken that mitt had 7 wives we didn't know about - should it be in the debate?
Should a CNN moderator have asked clinton about the BJ? of course!
I guess it's judgment - yall deem a ten year open marriage thing as not mattering, and that's fair. But where do you draw the line? newsletter matter when RPaul has no history of racism, but this claim doesn't matter when newt has 3 marriages and is telling people "marriage is between ONE man and ONE woman'?
IT COMPLETELY UNDERMINES HIS POSITION ON A HUGE WEDGE ISSUE. So it kinds does matter, guys.

Newsletters didnt matter.
But people are stupid.
I think the mans home life, is his home life.
Not like ex's can be trusted anyway, they always look for an excuse to lie and bullshit about "personal things" cause they know it can never be proven one way or the other, and people like to believe the bad shit they hear.
IMHO - home life should be off limits unless its something like rape or abuse. What happens between a man and a woman, their rules, the way they live their lives, is none of my concern.
The decisions they make in office, however is something else.

Whatever tool.
I would take a sleazebag newt over obama any day.
At least Newt actually worked for a balanced budget as speaker of the house.

Yes - UNLESS - you are giving a man power over your wallet, nation and life, you know?
If candidate X had spent 20 years beating his wife, living open marriage, choking out sluts in bondage, plugging sheep with dildos, and shoving hamsters up his ass...
Would you TRUST the JUDGMENT of that candidate X to control the nuclear football? Or would you say "ya know, something tells me this dude is kinda fcked up" and move to someone else.
I'm all for leaving personal shit out of the public light, unless 1) the candidate is lecturing others on how to behave on those matters, or 2) we're giving that person nukes lol.
Palin had live-in kids' boyfriends and kid quitting school to have babies - then she had the fcking audacity to lecture us on abstinence. Yeah, nice try.

I know several people whos sexual tastes border on the horrendous, yet they run their lives far better than others I know.
As I said above - if it involves some sort of heinous crime, then obviously that should be disclosed. However, if Newt just likes to take a buttplug from his wife from time to time; none of my goddamn business and in no way does that reflect on his ability to make decisions IMHO.

180 is trying to find any reason at all to vote for obama

no i'm not, you fudgepacking liberal NYer romney voter. :)
i'll vote paul, santorum, newt, romney, then i'll just write in 333386 on the ballot. in that order.
it's a relavant issue because newt tries to legislate "marriage is between one man and one woman" then tried to arrange a situation which as not that.
Hy-po-crite. it's that simple. Arnold gets a pass on the ass grabbing and maids because he owns it and doesn't try to legislate morality. not newt.

PLEASE!!!
Newt's affair ain't news. We already knew that Newt screwed around on his wife. All his ex-wife is doing is dishing dirt (which may or may not be true, for the sole purpose of destroying him and his campaign). We don't need to know the minutia. What's next, are they going to ask Newt if Clarista liked it doggy-style? Or if there was whipped cream involved, at the no-tell motel?
If this were so important, why did Marianne wait nearly a YEAR (conveniently after Newt became a front-runner) to air all this mess?
Newt claims that he's saved, turned his life around, and has a new reformed life. I thought you weren't supposed to justify bad behavior with more bad behavior. So, because Newt committed adultery, he's somehow banned from getting involved in the issue of defining marriage in this country? He's supposed to sit by and let gay activists (and their political allies) re-define the institution entirely?
-
He says it never happened as do the daughters.
and the wife says it did. Make them all take polygraphs. Newt has a history of lying, the wife, does she? who was kicked outt congress, newt or his ex wife?
oh, which one of them lied about the $ they got from freddie mac? was that the ex wife? oh wait.
Sorry, when it's a he said/she said, you have to look at the source's integrity.
Newt has motive (see, cause he married calista) and a history of cheating, and a history of lying.
And we all know, if you had to bet your gun collection on who was lying, you'd bet newt, 33, admit it :)
-
"i'm saved'?
LOL... so he was 55 when he cheated, but he learned his lesson by now?
hahahaha we're not talking aobut getting his dick wet when he's 20. We're talking about a guy on his 2nd wife, who gets sick, so he starts hitting chick #3.
and it wouldn't matter - if his ass wasn't trying to lecture everyone else on how to define marraige. Don't get me wrong, i still vote newt over mitt and obama.

I must have missed the memo that put an age limit on when someone can repent from his transgressions.
People who were once strung out on crack go to rehab and later try to warn others of the dangers of narcotics. Are they "hypocrites"? NO!
Neither is Newt. A hypocrite is someone who CURRENTLY engages in the activity for which he chastises others for doing. As far as we know, Newt ain't creeping on his current wife and hasn't since they've been married.
-
240 - newt is a sleazebag, but he is agressive and competitive and does not have a glass jaw like mittens.
As of today -
RP 1
NG 2
RS 3
MR 4

Newt Gingrich made a big deal about Bill Clinton while at the same time wanting an open marriage...(a closet hippie By God)
As far as being banned for all time of passing judgement...Yes...decidely so...
As far as Marianne goes...Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...Newt should have treated her better.
There is no "King's X"...
-

no problem. The memo said 54 was the age. if youre 55 and putting your jimmy in new booty, you're a dirtbag for life. It's official.

no, but if you were creeping yesterday and today you try telling others they're going to hell fo creeping, ya sohuld STFU.
so we can look for 'how many years til a person can lecture others'.... NEVER. You can't. ever. If you cheat, you can't call otehrs cheaters because time has passed. that's you. Own it.

And ghettothugbama called GWB unpatriotic for the debt in 2008 despite that traitorbama has incurred ridiculous debt in 3 years. Its politics.

Yes, you can. What you claim is like an ex-crackhead being banned from talking to others about the dangers of crack cocaine.
And, Newt isn't lecturing anyone about going to hell for anything.
-

yes, IMO, if a former crackhead wants to lock up people for smoking crack, they should voluntarily go do a 3-year bid to show they're really sincere.
Newt is telling people how to define marriage. After he cheated his way out of 2 and tried to have an open marriage.
So while I don't care what he does, it does piss me off when he says Joe & jack can't get married... but he and chick2 and chick3 can have a nice little fake marriage.
it's insulting - that's what it is. When you fck up, over and over, you lsoe your right to lecture others for fcking up. Notice Rush doesn't lecture people on drug laws anymore. He gets it.

And, where is Newt doing this lecturing again? He's asked about marriage and how he thinks it should be defined (which is a big social issue). He's given his answer and how he would govern with respect to that answer. If Newt's constiuents want marriage defined as a union between one man and one woman, is he supposed to ignore him, because he cheated on his wife?
Bill Clinton SIGNED the Defense of Marriage Act into law. But, I don't hear a whole lot of complaining about that from you (or from a number of people, all bent out of shape about Newt).

1) i hate bill clinton more than Bush & cheney combined. everyone on gb knows this. i can't stand bubba. all these 'repubs' who voted clinton make me spit.

That's not the point. You must have missed my edited post. If Newt's constituents want marriage defined as one-man-one-woman, is Newt supposed to ignore that, because of his past indiscretions?
-
yes. he's supposed to recuse himself from such issues. You can't have OJ lecturing at a women's abuse clinic.
-
I already said i am prepared to do previously never though of things to get obama out of office. do you understand what that means?
More daily meltdowns and photoshop pics spree? Because that is all you have done for the last three years.
-
On a side note:...the next time you Fuck someone over,...that someone could wait for years...Maybe a decade or more...watching for an opportunity to go Hiroshima on you...the only reason they don't immediately take revenge is that they can't think of a way where they can get away with it...but in the future when they see their chance...
-

Judges recuse themselves from issues. Newt isn't a judge. If a piece of legislation is on his desk, regarding such a matter, Newt DOES NOT HAVE THE LUXURY of recusing himself. He makes a decision, one way or the other.

No. Havent you heard? If you do EVER IN YOUR LIFE do something that you dont think others should do, then youre not allowed to speak on such subjects because youre a hypocrite. Lol.
Jk 240. Kinda. but not really. ;D

Good job Newt. Fuck the media, they deserve respect from no one.
Journalistic integrity is gone, all they are now is a glorified TMZ.
Newt made the biggest mistake ever because you simply can't shame or beat the media. He should have acknowledged his mistakes and moved on. By challenging the media, he's only encouraging them to bury him into the ground and they will.
Newt's ex-wife will be making the rounds on the TV circuit and the media will continue to report, Mitt will throw more bucks at the SuperPAC to attack...and report...and report...and report...and report...and report...and keep doing it until Newt is no longer viable to run.
You simply can't challenge the media...Even Rush Limbaugh said the same thing about Newt attacking John King....its a very bad idea.
