Subscribe to RSSNew details, including concerns over his third wife, Callista, have emerged about why Newt Gingrich's entire senior campaign staff walked out on the presidential hopeful. NBC's Michael Isikoff reports.
Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign was crippled by behind-the-scenes blow-ups over the role of his wife, Callista, including her insistence that the campaign arrange for screenings of the couple’s movies made by their for-profit production company, according to current and former campaign staffers and advisers.
The use of campaign resources to promote the Gingriches' private movie ventures made some senior staffers uncomfortable and led to repeated confrontations over the issue, they said. The campaign even carved out space on the home page of the Gingrich campaign Web site, Newt.org, where a section dubbed “Callista’s Canvas” promoted the movies, with titles such as “Rediscovering God in America” and “A City Upon a Hill,” about American “exceptionalism.”
Four current and former advisers provided new details to NBC News about the internal conflicts that last week prompted 16 top staffers — including his campaign manager, Rob Johnson, and his longtime spokesman, Rick Tyler — to resign. The mass resignations have undermined Gingrich’s efforts to raise money — he has barely collected $3 million, according to two sources — and left his struggling campaign on life support, the current and former advisers said.
During Gingrich’s campaign trips, Callista Gingrich repeatedly insisted that the campaign carve out time for public screenings of their movies, where the couple answered questions from the audience, and then sold DVD copies, eating up hours of time on the candidate’s schedule, the campaign sources said. When Callista Gingrich sent out an email insisting that a movie screening be arranged in New Hampshire, the candidate’s senior staffer in the state, David Carney, fired off an angry reply, saying he would refuse to do so, sources said. Carney declined to comment.
In another case, sources said, staffers in South Carolina also refused to arrange a movie screening. This prompted Callista Gingrich to insist that she and her husband fly back from the state on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend — and miss a planned campaign event in Myrtle Beach —so the couple could attend the opera “Don Pasquale” at the Kennedy Center that night, the sources said.

The dispute over the movies wasn’t the only source of conflict within the campaign. Campaign sources say the candidate’s top aides also were upset over Callista Gingrich’s control over the campaign schedule, including her refusal to allow early-morning departures for campaign events because she insisted she needed time to have her hair done, the campaign sources said.
The conflicts climaxed over the couple’s decision to fly off for a week-and-a-half cruise of the Greek islands in early June. Top staffers pleaded with Gingrich not to go, saying – according to one former senior aide – that the vacation was “incompatible” with running a presidential campaign that was still trying to get off the ground. Gingrich later defended the holiday as a chance to “get away and think.”

“Newt was in a box,” said one adviser close to Gingrich. “He wanted to campaign but on the other hand he had to keep his wife happy. This was all about pacifying Callista.”
“Any husband that tells you his wife doesn’t play some role in his schedule is probably lying to himself,” said Joe DeSantis, Gingrich’s current campaign spokesman, when asked about the conflicts between the campaign staffers and Callista Gingrich. “Of course they make decisions together about their schedule. It’s their life.”

DeSantis said the complaints about Callista Gingrich were in a “long tradition of former consultants blaming the wife or the spouse for their frustrations. The fact is, this is Newt’s campaign and he is going to run it the way he thinks is best for America.”
DeSantis also defended the use of campaign resources, including the campaign Web site, to promote the movies by Gingrich Productions. He noted that a Federal Elections Commission advisory opinion requested by Massachusetts GOP Sen. Scott Brown permitted a similar use of his campaign Web site to promote one of his books. DeSantis said the Gingriches’ movies were part of the extended “conversation” that Gingrich wants to have with voters and shows his determination to run a different kind of presidential campaign.
In an interview with Fox News Tuesday night, Gingrich said he felt “liberated” by the resignations of his campaign staff and that the shakeup would allow him to run the kind of campaign he wants.
"My vision is of a people-oriented grassroots campaign where newt.org becomes the center of new solutions, new ideas, new energy -- a campaign that's inclusive, that brings together everybody in America of every ethnic background who wants to change Washington," he said. "And I think that that was so different from the normal Republican model, that there just wasn't a fit."
Still, the intermingling of campaign resources and private moneymaking ventures – while not completely unique for political candidates — may have created particular issues for Gingrich. In years past, he has been repeatedly accused of using non-profit groups for political or personal gain. Such accusations led to a House Ethics Committee reprimand in 1997 when Gingrich was speaker of the House.
This week, ABC News reported that a nonprofit charity that Gingrich set up, Renewing American Leadership (ReAL), paid more than $220,000 to another one of Gingrich’s companies, Gingrich Communications. DeSantis said that “ReAL and Gingrich Communications took great care to make sure all resources were being used legally and ethically.”
Most of the payments, he said, compensated the time of ReAL’s part-time executive director, Rick Tyler, who was an employee of Gingrich Communications, and the rest was to purchase Gingrich’s books, which the charity used for its fundraising efforts.

Hi
Talk about a "High Maintenance" wife, Yikes!!
Something tells me there should have been a conversation that went something like this:
(Newt) Callista, I am thinking of running for president....It will be alot of hard work and it may require some personal sacrifices....We may have to put off some of our personal plans.
(Callista) (Either) OK, Newt I am willing to make those personal sacrifices. (or) What? You want me to make personal sacrifices and put some of the things I want to do on a shelf for a while????
Newt would either run or not run based on which answer he received. She would have to refrain from wearing her diamond encrusted tiara from Tiffany's during press conferences.
People running for office in any capacity need to simply post a photo of the spouse and kids and leave it at that. We are not electing the wife of a president or any other office. The only exception would be if Hillary ran for president in which case I would welcome Bill's input. He at least has the experience to back himself up!
Boring who cares, this is not news. Did you know that Greece is falling apart today? Did you know that the White House is being sued today for violations in regards to Libya?
As a matter of fact, yes, I do know that Greece is falling apart and that the White House ... I'm able to read a number of news items during the 10-12 hours I day that I am awake.
The President of the United States is a rather unique job. One that nearly completely envelops one's time. If the President has a demanding spouse that would require the President to constantly reshuffle his/her agenda for personal reasons, it would be of great detriment to this country. Hawking personal business projects instead of paying attention to the affairs of state? Newt is no longer a credible candidate. He made his choice.
Well, this sure ties it all up in a nice little bundle for Newt. Now he can bow out and the blame will go on his wife. What a guy!

"As a matter of fact, yes, I do know that Greece is falling apart and that the White House ... I'm able to read a number of news items during the 10-12 hours I day that I am awake."
You sleep 12 or 14 hours a day? Jeez...most of us WORK that long.
No one actually thinks that wife #3 is going to let Newt out hunting for wife #4, do you?
Waiting for the reality show Real Housewives of F#cked up Politicians!
She clearly leads him around by the dong. Which doesn't exactly rule him out as president, but still...it's just GOTTA be embarrassing to be that desperate for...well, love, I guess...or whatever passes for it in the Grinch household. I think I'm going to be sick now.
Would anyone want her to be the First Lady? What an eembarrassment.
Americans are very lucky to have found this out now. Had Newt become POTUS higher taxes, for the citizens, to support his High Maintenance wife.
Whew! We dodged that Sales Ticket!
Wow, I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want a vampire running the USA from behind the scenes as the President's wife. Is it me or does she look/seem exactly like Nan from True Blood? Also, if she will use a non-profit to promote her own interests, just imagine how many Tiffany diamonds this bloodsucker could amass as the wife of the leader of the free world?
I am very leary about any news article that states "sources close to us" but there never seems to be any names that come with these so called sources. IMO our news media has turned into nothing more than a tabloid magazine.
This woman has all the charm and warmth of a cold enema!
Newt was never getting my vote anyway so it matters little. It is good to know up front that a potential candidate is more concerned with his personal business than the issues of the United States.
Can you say whipped!!! Newt is not running this thing, his wife is calling the shots. He does not have a chance in hell of getting the nomination unless he finds a way of putting her in a box and closing the lid. A candidates family should be there with smiles on for photo ops and should not do much more than that. Even if he can get her under control. I do not see Newt as having a realistic chance of getting the nomination. I think he is running just to pump up his for profit businesses, as seems apparent from this article. He will stay in long enough to give his movie and book sales a shot in the arm and then quietly drop out of the race.
This is typical toxic behavior in Congress that is no different than the "Greedy Corporate Capitalism". Oh but wait! It was all done in the name of God and religion by questionable Christians with low morals. We're tired of the Party using the name of God and religion by the so called hypocritical Christians.
I'll just add that I have quit at least one job in the past where the wife of the owner made everyone's life miserable with her meddling. Just another woman confused with what being a 'strong' woman means. It does not mean that you bully everyone (including your husband) until you get your way.
As if the other offerings by the GOP have any appeal? What ever happen to Little Bobby Jindal? I wonder if that unintentional "Mr Rogers" response a ways back killed his career. You guys on the right have far better comedy material for potentials.
Guess we know who wears the pants in that family.
It is easy to see who wears the Strap-on in that family!
And thank-you, Mrs. Gingrich, for sabotaging the "Gingrich presidency"! Gingrich has shot himself in the foot so many times, he wears orthopedic shoes.
When you want to buy your bottle blonde trophy wife (the third wife btw), you get what you pay for, hopefully in the next life as well.
"You sleep 12 or 14 hours a day? Jeez...most of us WORK that long."
And her sleeping pattern matters to this article how?
This is absolutely ridiculous... you expect us to believe that old Newt is unpopular and getting no votes and lost his entire campaign crew and it is his WIFE'S fault? Totally ridiculous. Newt is a big fat loser and everyone knows he's a con-man. Way to blame his unpopularity on his wife!!! Crazy.
Calista, about those early morning hair appointments.... I have to agree with you, your hair does need a major makeover.... what's with that over-bleached look anyway? The only thing that I find attractive about you is... eh.... well..... nothing? Sorry!
This all sounds a little odd to me -- has someone been a naughty boy again in need of punishment --- a nice sounding vacation, Tiffany purchases ...
Lousy politician too.
God god god - oh I hope my hair is perfect - god god god - look at me how perfect I look on the outside - god god god - If I make more god movies, maybe I won't feel like such an empty shell of a woman - god god god GOD!!!
Oh, btw, how does my hair look???
GOOD GOD these people are disgustring!!!
Who cares about Newt's wife? She's just fluzzy who slept with another woman's husband.
Why does Newt get to sexually misbehave then remain as a lawmaker, & now wants to run for President? He needs to step down & step back too. He screwed up his chance to be respected.
She was disgusting when she was boinking Newt while wife #2 was dealing with her MS diagnosis.
Typical hypocrite - messes around with somebodies husband for years, then suddenly "gets religion" once she becomes the wife. Now she and her serially unfaithful husband want to replace a man with actual family and religious values in the White House. No thanks.
YES DEAR !!!.. no huevos for good Leadership here..glamour girl, shocks the monkey............
Just when you've reach the pinnacle of disbelief, something like this makes the news and it's a cluster mind-screw, yet again. Newton has no credibility to begin with, and his attempt at a run for POTUS in 2012 would be comical if not for the damage he's doing to his own constituents and to his "party." As for Mr. & Mrs. Calista Gingrich, you're both serial adulterers, liars, schemers and failures in your personal lives. What makes you think WE would buy your brand of "morality" or "leadership" when it is clear you can't see straight to begin with? Do yourselves, your constituents and your "party" a favor and bow out of this ridiculous attempt to steal a little limelight for your movie production company. Any idiot that would follow your example(s) would have to a little dim to begin with. How hypocritical, irresponsible and SELF-SERVING can you get? I'm embarassed and ashamed for you since you're CLEARLY too self-righteous to accept that you're both full of bull chips. Give it a rest and give God a rest while you're at it. He's not fooled by posers like you no matter the size of your. . .tiara. FREAKS!
sounds like Newt is well on his way to a 4th marriage.
she doesn't take very flattering photos, or are those the best they could find!? yuck
Just what we need... an elitist, entitled, bleach-blond first lady. Whatever deficit budget cuts would be made would be eaten up by this biotch's lifestyle. Next!
Yes, we wouldn't want a first lady who is that self absorbed, after all, we already have Michelle..
monnie: and Newt is a an Adonis???
I see quite a difference between someone (Callista) who uses their position to further their own personal ambitions and agenda, and someone (Michelle) who tries to use her position to benefit others. Can you see Callista serving the poor at a soup kitchen with her diamond tiara on?
Callista Gingrich = Karma.
That's what that lizard Newt gets for dumping his last two wives in such classy ways. Got what ya wanted, didn't ya, Newtie?
Newt looks like the Pilsbury dough boy... what do you expect his paid-concubine to look like??
She (Callista) reminds me of an owl. But in a bad way.
Callista looks like the blond in the Jack Nicholson movie "Mars Attacks"
she has the eye's of a newt....
Better to find out now, rather when it would be too late. No sense in bringing more useless bagage to the whitehouse. There's more than enough now.
She looks like pure psycho $hit to me. Who wants Newt as president anyway? He wouldn't win... and I can imagine the kind of changes "callista" would bring to the white house. Guessing by the color of her hair and the stuff she wears, I think we'd be looking at something close to a mix between Dali and Bozo the Clown. They've already blown it BIG TIME!!! 16 top staffers? HUM.... something went WAAAAAAAAAAAAY wrong in that camp. Blazing Saddles anyone?
Besides, look at the line up of republicans who want to run. I have never been more scared for the future of our country than right now. Every republican is rushing to run for president because they see a supposed whole to fill instead of rolling up their sleeves and doing a better job where they are now. I don't mind if they run, I just wish they were headed in the other direction.
She has shown herself to be very ambitious for herself. I hope she has a good pre-nup to fall back on. She does, right?
I thought she'd be wealthy enough to have someone travel with her for hair, makeup and nails. Okay, they're trying to save money. Tiffany's wants payment?
She looks like she has ice cubes in her panties.
Yeah, don't you just love those Republican"FAMILY VALUES"? Sorta like them saying; "THE BEST WAY TO SAVE MEDICARE IS TO DESTROY IT". This stuff only makes sense to " I want my country back" Teabaggers.
She looks like she is completely made out of plastic.
With the hawk bill nose she reminded me of a buzzard.
You are all right, Michelle Obama would never accept a job with an unusually large payraise just because her husband was elected to high office. Oh wait, that happened. Well obviously the job was important and she was qualified to fill it. But wait, the job wasn't rehired after she left for the White House...hmmmm.
Get real people, I am not really pro or con Michelle Obama but to praise her of sainthood while criticising others is naive, at best. I don't like Newt and his wife sounds like a hag but wake up and take off the partisan blinders....
Further evidence Newt is just in it for the money.
I personaly dont give a crap what he says or does now----- If you are old enough to remember the things he did in the past when he was an elected official you would understand that this worthless, slimey, peice of crap should be in prison for the crimes he commited back then and in my opinion should never be released! Never!!!!! And he wants to be The President of The United States!!!-----------no way--no how!-----------If you are not old enough to remember then you need to google his name, and or check out the history on this slime bag!!!
@Marksman
FYI, Michelle Obama was just complimented for looking good while stepping out in a $29 Gap dress. Think this ice queen would even be caught dead in a Gap store?
In my opinion, only one of these women has their proirities straight, and it's not this pretentious, petulent spoiled albino.
Save your biased ignance for the Fox forums jackass.
Bwaahahaha, Bladepolisher!
She looks like a blow up doll that has miraculously come to life. Maybe that's the reason for Newt's religious conversion after his history of cruel treatment of his former wives. I guess he likes that vacant look.
Not a Grinch supporter, He has good ideas but he talks the talk/doesn't walk the walk. But isn't this indicative of politics today? Skirt the REAL issues that effect all us peons. Let's focus on someone's dirty underwear.
Another "convenient" side-issue so these so-called politicians don't have to address the real meat and potatoes. Pathetic....BOTH parties! Meanwhile....Rome Burns.
To ride a for profit venture on the coattails of a political campaign is at the heart of so much bad politics today. Far too many in politics have vested financial interests in the legislation they enact. Think any of them would recuse themselves from any vote where it would affect their personal financial interests?
This article is incredibly important in that it brings to light the conflicts of interest Newt should absolutely avoid.
This may not be "new" news, but it's not necessarily dirty underwear. IMO, the heart of the matter is someone's ability to set priorities and negotiate those priorities with the people involved -- something a President has to do on a daily basis. Mr. Gingrich seems to make it clear that his wife's wishes are a priority rather than his campaign. I don't have a problem with that, but if that's the case, he shouldn't be running for President. Running for the Presidency, like the job iteself, is a full-time, full-tilt job; sad to say, it's not very compatible with family priorities, but that's the way it is. But if his campaign is a priority, then he's failing to negotiate conflicting priorities with his wife. If he can't negotiate priorities with her, I doubt he'd be successful negotiating priorities with Congress or other heads of state.
The article also speaks to his inability to keep his personal profit interest out of a campaign. There are ways other than selling DVDs to get a message across, no matter what kind of "conversations" he wants to have with the American public.
IMO, a candidate's ability to set and negotiate priorities and whether he or she places personal profit interest on par with, or ahead of, the interests of the electorate, are very real issues that we should consider when we think about a Presidential candidate. They may not be the "real" domestic and international issues a President would face, but they are indicative of how someone might handle those "real" issues.
Lizzie, excellent analysis. Thanks!
I think you will find Palin, Bachmann and many on the left doing the same thing with donations. They set up these bogus side non-profits when their intention is just the opposite, PROFIT.
I also agree with Lizzie's points. It sounds like they should be running for King and Queen of England instead of Pres / First Lady of the U.S. She definitely wants to be treated like royalty. The last First Lady we had that felt she was royalty was Nancy Reagan. Callista appears to be very high maintenance.
But, regarding the finances and payments to his own company..... this is nothing different that any other politician does, Republican or Democrat. They're all equally crooked and in it for their own purposes. Rotten, two faced, crooked, lying, low-rent dirtbags......each and every one of them.
That is certainly NOT true... how dare you call them "low-rent."
I don't recall President Obama setting up any non-profits to use in his campaign. He sold some books, but that started well before he was running for President, and the first one was auto-biographical, not pushing a political or religious agenda.
This is not necessarily "new" news. In fact, it supports the theory some have that Gingrich is really in this campaign to market his books and productions.
At the time he was making his announcement, his daughter visited several companies to learn better how to market and make deals for documentaries. Newt is not genuinely a serious candidate - he's a stark opportunist, and always has been.
As for Callista's role in things .... I quit the last campaign I was managing for similar reasons. The candidate was not serious, could not follow through on decisions, and his wife was a constant, constant pain in the butt.
Yeah, I liked Maher’s line about him calling Obama an elitist while on a yacht in Greece. What a way to kick off a "serious" campaign.
As president Newt would not be allowed to have press conferences without his wife there to be seen and photographed and it would have to be after she has her hair done. She sounds like a real prima donna and very high maintenance. I think that he made a big mistake with her. That's what you get when you marry a trophy wife. She married him for his money and power and he married her for bragging rights.
I don't think either one got much for their efforts...Neither are much to brag about
If that's a 'trophy' how bad must his first wives have been? Wasn't he the douche that presented his wife with divorce papers while she was being treated for cancer? Real lump, this guy.
Trophy Wife.......he deserves what he get.....I wouldn't call that a trophy....is that hair? I know no value. Just couldn't help myself on this one.
My question is who is behind Newt even considering running for President? Who is lurking in his shadows? Who is he beholding to?
Doesn't look like his campaign is going anywhere. Starting to sound like he's running to promote his private companies. I don't think Callista sounds like first lady material.
BMX MOM - Or Second Lady Or Third Lady, more Lady Tramp..
The Tramp would not want her, too...
Mrs. Gingrich's hair frightens me. What a scary looking woman. She looks like belongs in a wax museum - where hair is never out of place. Yikes.
I was thinking she looks like a Stepford wife.
She looks like she is manufactured from styrene.
She PAYS to have that done to her hair??? Also, a two year old could tell you that the movie screenings were a conflict of interest.
She looks like someone out of the movie "Phantasm".......
The only thing scarier than her hair is her pointy nose, "The witch of Gingrich"
There is an awful lot of botox in that face....An AWFUL lot.
It gets done every morning? I thought it was a helmet...
She totally has that psyco b*** look!!!! I think Newt will be on his way to the next wife soon!
Oh man! You had to go there... OK, after reading what she's like and seeing her picture, "FemDom" comes to mind.
Her hair looks over processed to me. I think she and Donald Trump have the same barbers.
Actually, she looks like the Lisa Marie character from Mars Attacks!
I think I would have hidden her away until after the election.......Does he have a lot of money? If so he did not get his money's worth.
Don't be afraid of her hair. She has promised to return it to Donald Trump soon after the presidential election.
Newt it ain't gonna happen. Just let the dream die and drift back into the shadows.
horgreen: now, you have hit the nail on the head. Let us all move on.
Hound...I must agree but I still think she pales in comparison to Pelosi.
No...she is much paler that Pelosi....
With or without that harlot Callista, there is no way Gingrich would win the Republican primary. No way. And the Presidency? Forget about it! And the fact that Callista is a homely skank doesn't help. Does anyone actually like her and her phony fake religious/ family values? eeeek!
Wow. Wonder what you look like and what you believe Matthew. Then again, maybe I shouldn't.
Perhaps my appearance and my beliefs are the reason I am not running for President of the United States. Well... that... and I am completely unqualified. And I do not hold myself out as the beacon of all that is beautiful and righteous in America. But, perhaps Gringrich and his trophy (gag!) wife should honestly consider the possibility that they are not really in the race to win, but to make a profit off of the true believers that will blindly hand their money over.
Sounds like Newt married Sarah Palin.
She's nuts! Also, North Carolina is misspelled.
It sounds like Newt is a victim of spousal abuse. I know that he is for smaller government, but he obviously needs some help.
I think Newt is about to burst into spontaneous combustion flames and take his nonsensical "campaign" with him. We thank you Calista "The Crone".
Looks like a time for another divorce. Who needs this BS? Newt can't seem to make the right wife choices, what kind of choice's as President would he make?
Was just thinking the same thing.
Jeff your analogy is just priceless!!!!!! Way to go.......
Who knows what will happen in the marriage. Maybe this is the woman he was waiting for - his scamming sidekick.
I wonder whether there's any connection between the Gingrichs and Clarence & Ginny Thomas other than membership in the CMWC . That's the Colorful Manipulative Wives Club.
Callista Gingrich ain't dumb. She can read the writing on the wall, and it's darn likely that she knows Newt has zero chance of actually capturing the nomination. So, in her mind, it makes much more sense to promote the activity that WILL survive the travails of "Newt being Newt": the family business of selling America to Americans. This pair is a nothing more than a couple of hucksters who are going to cash in at every opportunity.
As for no early-morning meetings, it's my guess that neither one of them look all that great before noon.
Oh what a riot! Is this the woman he divorced his first wife for?!?! I guess this is his punishment for adultery!
His second wife not the first. She looks like a wax figure.
He was having an affair with someone else and told his first wife he wanted a divorce when she was in the hospital dying from cancer. He married that mistress and then cheated on her also.
Then he left the second wife when she was sick for this (fill in your own description). So much for "family values".
This is the person, that he divorced his sicond wife for!
So...if you can't manage your own relationship....how could Newt possibly manage the country. Maybe another affair will fix this situation...
Just another dog and pony show as part of the GOP candidates.....do I hear clown music....or is that opera music in Newt's case.
Good lord....just look at the list of jokes for the GOP....Palin, Bachman, Gingrich, Trump, Romney....they should all be driving around in one of those tiny little clown cars.
Yeah, the Dems only need one joke and he is in the White House.
robert@mo...why don't you GFYourself.
North Star State 1.
Good lord....just look at the list of jokes for the GOP....Palin, Bachman, Gingrich, Trump, Romney....they should all be driving around in one of those tiny little clown cars."
Trump is out...unless he morphed into Callista.
robert: I didn't know that Paul Ryan was visiting the President today. Thanks for the update.
Newt!...She is kind of a scary zombie. Yeah, ya shouldn't promote your private biz with campaign funds. Bad.
We are all debating a moot point. Newt doesn't stand a chance, he's no different than Trump. All he is doing is using this forum to speak his mind, offer his ideas. He won't make the first cut.
I agree that he doesn't stand a chance, but he has been serious about running for a while.
Actually he is doing this all to promote his books and films. That has been evident since he started talking. He also thinks this will make it so he can get more money for speaking engagements. Both very shallow people.
You're right - he doesn't stand a chance, but I don't think his campaign is about anything more than making money. There's nothing wrong with making money, but don't make a mockery out of the Presidency. He has zero chance of being elected. But he will stay in there as long as possible, as long as any money comes rolling in from his PAC, his "non-profits", and other financial interests. He thinks he's a genius and he thinks he's outsmarting everyone, but it doesn't take much reading to see what's on that page! At least (ugh!) Sara hasn't yet gone for the Presidency, and if she doesn't it's to her credit (ugh). (Never thought I'd give her credit for anything, and she may yet prove me wrong by running) She seems quite happy doing what she does. (One wonders, especially now that Bachman has stolen the torch from her!)
This is what Al Sharpton has done for years.
Could you imagine this in the White House? This guy needs his masculinity checked.
Come on... just put the darn movies on FOX/JOURNAL... you know they love you butt anyway....
The adage goes...behind every offensive politician is usually an equally offensive spouse...
I think that applies to judges, as well.
It's time to start talking about Judge Clarence Thomas and his wife!!!! Where is the media on that story?!?! Nowhere. Why?!?!?
Gingrich is ALREADY FINISHED !!! Why waste any more space on him ???
Gringrich is hardly out of the gate as a presidential candidate, and he is already facing concern after concern. I would expect something simular to happen to Palin if she were an actual candidate, but not this early for Gringrich.
