Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, December 26, 2011

Georgia court documents discovered by CNN contradict Newt Gingrich's claim that his first wife, not Gingrich himself, sought their divorce in 1980. Carroll County documents from the divorce proceeding show that Newt Gingrich filed a divorce complaint July 14, 1980. Jackie Battley Gingrich, the congressman's wife and the mother of two of his daughters, asked the judge to reject her husband's filing -- even though he'd been committing adultery. "Defendant shows that she has adequate and ample grounds for divorce, but that she does not desire one at this time," her filing states.

Sanctity of marriage ... blah blah blah

This version of events is common gossip in Carrollton, where I have relatives - interesting to see it corroborated by records.

Newt Gingrich is not fit to be President of the United States. I don't want his mistress of six years as First Lady, either.

"Deadbeat Dads nutty for Newt." Goatman comes to mind. So does the Deadbeat Dad Teahadist Joe Walsh.

A teabagger lied? SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!

The only thing these teatard filth have are lies, hatred and fear. Without those, they couldn't get elected dogcatcher in Buttfuck, Alabama.

Gingrich is a POS even his own Republican colleagues in Congress didn't like.

Newt just a 68 year old fat slob,what more can anyone way....

C'mon, the Pope forgave him after his conversion.

Baby Jeebus, not so much.

Perhaps she kept saying she wanted the divorce and he finally gave it to her by filing. But if the headline gets the neighborhood dogs barking why not sit back and enjoy the noise, eh?

Wait, When did Newt become a teabagger? I suppose Obama is a republican now too. lol

Olive

Newt's a teabagger. See how he acts weakens in hot water?

Teabagger is a term used by homos about some of their deviate behavior.

Teabagger is the term the scrotum loving REPUBLICAN RACIST ASSHOLES gave themselves.

Suck it up, losers. YOU DESERVE EACH OTHER. You especially deserve shit eating slime like Noot and the Mormon Moron.

VOTE ROMNEY....HE'S WHITE!!!!!

"He (Gingrich) said, 'You know and I know that she's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of a president,'"

Apparently Newt never laid eyes upon the hideosity that shat out Dumya MBA.

Gingrich abandoned his first wife and daughters and left them to depend on charity to eat.

Basically, he's scum and anyone who supports him is morally suspect.

Gingrich climbing to the top of the "Anybody But Romney" polls is just the GOP's way of saying...

"We got nothing".

GL w/ that.

Be Well.

/Anyone else finding the fact that the GOP flocked to Gingrich after Cain's horndog ways were exposed to be hilariously hypocritical?

this revelation may 'seal the deal' for millions .. Newt must be the guy we want -
~ IF libs are SO FRIGHTENED that they need to go back 30 years digging for non-issues ..

Here's the time line.

www.rawstory.com

This guy is in the wrong party.

" IF libs are SO FRIGHTENED that they need to go back 30 years digging for non-issues .."

Sorry sweetie but your team has to vote FOR him for him to have the nomination. Please be our guest, nominate him, answer our prayers. Scared of him.....hilarious!

First some facts, I know you Liberals like to just go on and on with innuendo until it becomes "your" truth, but I don't play that way.

Leonard H. "Kip" Carter challenged Gingrich's congressional seat so that alone should throw question in to his motives here.

As for kicking his first wife out on the street, I point out this from the Concord Monitor.

"A week after Jackie Battley Gingrich's complaint, a judge ordered Newt Gingrich to pay her "$700 a month in temporary support until the case was settled," CNN said. The two reached an agreement three months later, thus avoiding a jury trial. To this day, Gingrich is paying alimony to his first wife, CNN reported."

www.concordmonitor.com

In the end if his ex-wife has no issues with the settlement and is not interested in slamming Newt then that is all I need to know. Also his daughters support seams to confirm that.

That said the interest of facts, I do think character matters and I do have reservations about Gingrich. If it were not for his past I suspect he would be leading the polls right now.

Noot lying? SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhocking.

Perhaps she kept saying she wanted the divorce and he finally gave it to her by filing. But if the headline gets the neighborhood dogs barking why not sit back and enjoy the noise, eh?

The records shows that she "did not want a divorce at this time".

Newt forced it.

Any other ideas how to defend his actions?

You simply have the worst of the worst candidates.

Perhaps that makes you look like a complete idiot?

Yes, it does.

Any other ideas how to defend his actions?

any other ideas how to illustrate you really give a shit?

Our little "progressive" friends are scurrying around like a million ants around the ant hill trying to bash any opponent and save their queen...er..uh..KING, I mean. It's the Chicago way, I guess. BUT, what they DO NOT understand is that it doesn't matter. We are not so motivated by the virtues of any particular candidate as we are with getting to the polls and voting AGAINST the Great Community Organizer and Race Healer. So, keep it up, spend billions and trash every possible opponent, whether true OR false, we're voting against the Great Campaigner and Jobs Creator anyway. Do they REALLY think they can make us better accept their messiah by however bad they make his opponent look? We're just not buying the "legend."

"Obama Mythologos

Barack Obama is a myth, our modern version of Pecos Bill or Paul Bunyan. What we were told is true, never had much basis in fact â€" a fact now increasingly clear as hype gives way to reality.

“Brilliant”

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss, on no evidence, once proclaimed Obama “probably the smartest guy ever to become president.” When he thus summed up liberal consensus, was he perhaps referring to academic achievement? Soaring SAT scores? Seminal publications? IQ scores known only to a small Ivy League cloister? Political wizardry?

Who was this Churchillian president so much smarter than the Renaissance man Thomas Jefferson, more astute than a John Adams or James Madison, with more insight than a Lincoln, brighter still than the polymath Teddy Roosevelt, more studious than the bookish Woodrow Wilson, better read than the autodidact Harry Truman?

Consider. Did Obama achieve a B+ average at Columbia? Who knows? (Who will ever know?) But even today’s inflated version of yesteryear’s gentleman Cs would not normally warrant admission to Harvard Law. And once there, did the Law Review editor publish at least one seminal article? Why not?"

Why the divorce anyway? Was he fucking an intern in the oval office and lying about it? You libs are right, someone that does that does not deserve to be Pres!!!!!!!

Was he fucking an intern in the oval office and lying about it?

C'mon now, Bubba never had sexual relations with that woman.

Used her as a human humidor and got many a fine beej but that's about it.

At least he wasn't getting a beej from a supporters wife while his kids were walking by like Newt.

Little known fact. Common variety garden slugs often complain about the slimy mess Newt leaves whenever he goes anywhere.

Be Well.

Nicely played.

#26 Thanks Pud for pointing out that getting blow jobs in the oval office and lying about it was ok. I'm sure it was ok with Hillary as well.

We are not so motivated by the virtues of any particular candidate as we are with getting to the polls and voting AGAINST the Great Community Organizer and Race Healer.

So you admit your GOP candidates are all pathetic jokes and you are voting out of nothing but simple spite for no good reason whatsoever?

Well, that's a type of progress anyways.

Carry on.

Be Well.

So you admit your GOP candidates are all pathetic jokes and you are voting out of nothing but simple spite for no good reason whatsoever?

The GOP today is the DNC in 2004: so obsessed with simply beating the sitting President that they don't care who they run. The end results will be the same too.

So you admit your GOP candidates are all pathetic jokes and you are voting out of nothing but simple spite for no good reason whatsoever?

Well, if that is an admission (it looks more like putting words into someone's mouth to me, and more so likely considering the source) it's a degree higher in honesty than the dems who cannot admit their candidate is a pathetic joke.

If Obama gets 4 more years he will be a wrecking ball to this country. They only reason he has not done more damage than he already has is because of re-election. And btw Pud, as I always have asked, why do you give a fuck, you live in Canada.

If you say Obama is a lousy president enough times maybe you will believe it yourself. Probably not though.

dems who cannot admit their candidate is a pathetic joke.

Obama is the best moderate conservative President the US has seen since Clinton.

Too bad the GOP have gone hard right and radicalized leaving no real progressive party to appeal to the actual left.

Be Well.

I don't have to say it to know it, danni

Enough already. Anyone who doesn't understand that Gingrich is lying scum by now doesn't want to... There is no sense in digging up any more dirt - especially relatively mild stuff like this. Perez Hilton wouldn't even consider this interesting gossip....

Fucking Gingrich

His campaign has been calling my house almost every day for weeks. My caller ID said "Newt". Every time I have to cancel an empty voice mail message. Finally, in frustration, I answered one call so I could tell Newt's recorded voice to to fuck off. That man is dangerous. More scary than McCain, Romney and Obama.

Consider the source... CNN.

Regardless, this is relevant because... ?

It reflects character. It is relevent to the nomination process IMHO, but shouldn't matter to anyone not voting in a GOP primary.

In the end if his ex-wife has no issues with the settlement and is not interested in slamming Newt then that is all I need to know.

Newt's second wife had plenty to say about him:

You need to ask the "family values" voters in the GOP. They are the one's who have a problem with all of this, those of us in the other party disagree with Newt on issues, his personal life is the least of our objections to that egomaniac.

Sure Danni, personal life is the least of your concerns with a candidate unless of course that candidate is a republican.

Typical danni -- different rule book for each party, she openly endorses censorship so that only her side is heard. Surely she must know it's impossible to take idiots like that seriously.

Remind Spud again.

Which of the two parties specifically campaigns on a "family values" platform and thus would be not just an adulterer but a hypocrite as well when discovered in an extramarital affair?

Take yer time.

Be Well.

"Remind Spud again."

Sure, you were the tool who opened a thread and called Palin a hypocrite when she was 7, because her brother had to be rushed to the nearest hospital which happended to be in Canada.

Missed the boat, again. For a self-described genius, Goatshart ain't so smart.

Democrats don't care as much about private sexual conduct as Republicans do. We're not out there telling people how to live righteous lives.

Instead you elevate losers like the Florida mom and call them righteous for leaving their family to get some strange NY loving...

[citationneeded.jpg]

That's ridiculous. Spud didn't even know Palin when she was 7.

*blink*

Be Well.

"Instead you elevate losers like the Florida mom and call them righteous for leaving their family to get some strange NY loving..."

YOu might try telling that tale truthfully for once, oh wait, it's Crispee's post. Never mind.

For the record, Palin was not a hypocrite at age 7, it wasn't until she was 9 that she became a hypocrite.

Palin... You hear ...Levi said the retard kid was his....

Democrats don't care as much about private sexual conduct as Republicans do.

LOL.

I've never seen a group of people more obsessed with who is sleeping with whom than the libs. They make excuses for slick willy as if it's OK, but when it's a republican, they are all over it like stink on shit.

As you know by now, that story is false New York Post bullshit.

Usually when a politician who has a reputation for speaking out against the rightness of others' sexual activities and then gets busted for their own dalliances, others will likely make an issue out of it on hypocrisy grounds.

From the linked article at that post (talk about hypocrisy!!)

Gingrich, like several of his colleagues, were not immune from charges of infidelity.
In 1998, Salon reported that, much like his first marriage, Newt was dogged with rumors about alleged infidelities. In addition to rumors swirling around the Hill in 1997 and 1998, Gingrich faced accusations that he conducted an affair in 1977 based on his ability to deny that he'd "had sex" with a woman. From the 1995 Vanity Fair profile:

In the spring of 1977, [Anne Manning, who admitted to a relationship with Gingrich that started during his 1976 campaign] was in Washington to attend a census-bureaus workshop when Gingrich took her to dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. He met her back at her modest hotel room. "We had oral sex," she says. "He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, "I never slept with her." Indeed, before Gingrich left that evening, she says, he threatened her: "If you ever tell anybody about this, I'll say you're lying."


Nothing in the article is flattering. Gingrich's refusing to pay light bills, his meltdowns, his inability to manage a budget. None of it is flattering. THIS is the guy some consider Presidential material? Um...OKAnd

Probably not. Marianne didn't give up on her marriage so easily -- but Gingrich asked something of her she could not give.

She called a minister they both trusted. He came over to the house the next day and worked with them the whole weekend, but Gingrich just kept saying she was a Jaguar and all he wanted was a Chevrolet. " ‘I can't handle a Jaguar right now.' He said that many times. ‘All I want is a Chevrolet.' "

He asked her to just tolerate the affair, an offer she refused.

Undoubtedly, his mistress -- a Callista Bisek, a former Hill staffer who was then 32 -- would not have appreciated the comparison. Bisek and Gingrich had reportedly been having an affairs for 6 years before Gingrich told Marianne.

After Gingrich's phoned-in confession, they talked at their home -- just after he'd given a speech in Erie, Pennsylvania about the importance of family values. She told Esquire she asked him how he could give such a speech days after he's admitted his affair to her and asked her to tolerate it

"It doesn't matter what I do," he answered. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."

"I've never seen a group of people more obsessed with who is sleeping with whom than the libs."

Yeah, Libs even impeached a president once for that. Oh wait....

Gingrich is a hypocritical douchebag, and Republicans need to do all we can to deny him another term in any political office. The fact that Clinton and Clinton and Kerry and Gore and Obama are also douchebags is no excuse whatsoever. Let the Dems be the party of the double standard.

I'll bet Callista isn't happy with being called a "Chevrolet" compared to his referring to his wife at the time as a "Jaguar".

Gingrich: "Callista, where are my purple pills?"

Callista: "What purple pills?"

Gingrich: "You know ..."

Callista: "Here, have another bowl of soup while you soak your bunions".

The fake or joke is on another Vacation even as I type.

Most people think he earned it.

" IF libs are SO FRIGHTENED that they need to go back 30 years digging for non-issues .."

from the guys who went back to when Obama was a child at a madrass to prove he's a member of al queda.

Puling Hypocrites.

And once there, did the Law Review editor publish at least one seminal article? Why not?"

One of Dubya's legal employees who was there said Obama did a good job at the Review. Of course, that's not some rightwing blogger, so obviously he knows nothing.

Reality and the right-like Gingrik and honesty.

Why the divorce anyway? Was he fucking an intern in the oval office and lying about it? You libs are right, someone that does that does not deserve to be Pres!!!!!!!

So don't vote for Bubba and a third term, dickhead. And no, Newty wasn't fucking an intern in the Oval Office. He was fucking a secretary in the Speaker's Office. While condemning Bubba for a bj.

Fishbrains, you got anything at all from the 21 century to add?

The fake or joke is on another Vacation even as I type.

No, Newt is campaigning in Iowa. Do try and keep up.

A politician lies about divorce or sex. You coulda knocked me down with a chad. Still yet better than Obama destroying the country by bankruptcy all while selling us out to his cronies.

Can't wait till Romney is elected president! So long Obama!

Yep thats what the GOP needs is Romney.The one who wears special religious underwear.He talks to the invisible man.

Newt is a lier and a cheat! Alan Duke of CNN reports:

Newt Gingrich filed a divorce complaint on July 14, 1980, in Carroll County, saying, “the marriage of the parties is irretriebably (sic) broken.”

Jackie Battley Gingrich, the congressman’s wife and the mother of Jackie Gingrich Cushman, responded by asking the judge to reject her husband’s filing.

“Defendant shows that she has adequate and ample grounds for divorce, but that she does not desire one at this time,” her petition said.

“Although defendant does not admit that this marriage is irretrievably broken, defendant has been hopeful that an arrangement for temporary support of defendant and the two minor daughters of the parties could be mutually agreed upon without the intervention of this court,” her petition said. “All efforts to date have been unsuccessful.”

NOTHING coming from libs or dems about newt can be taken seriously when it comes from anyone who voted for or even likes the disbarred, impeached, pathological liar from arkansas..

yeah yeah I know...newt was dippin it when he came after blowjob billy, but the point is....dems SCOLDED us at the time telling us it was PRIVATE and didnt matter and it WAS JUST SEX....

"the point is....dems SCOLDED us at the time telling us it was PRIVATE and didnt matter and it WAS JUST SEX...."

And Rs countered by claiming character was important.

What changed, other than the letter after the name?

-What changed, other than the letter after the name?

oh face it. all the cheerleaders are completely hypocritical on this bullshit issue.

what changed about blowjob....he still is revered in certain parts of the woods....(??) :)

I dont want newt to be the nominee because of this very example of liberal hypocricy.....................
....the less said about the disabarred impeached liar from HOPE the better....

AND has anyone noticed that HILLARY is looking more and more like everyones' AUNT???????

oh yeah....my point ISNT about newt or blowjob....its about the media and black ass and clinton asskissers.......

Newt's second wife had plenty to say about him:
#41 | Posted by rcade
lol .. whose ex-wife doesn't have alot to say?

right on l e bro....

mine says this all the FUCKIN time

where's my money..

AND here is the way to a successfull marriage

find a woman YOU HATE and buy her a house....you'll be better off in the long run....

You sent a horde of "investigators" to try and discredit Sarah Palin and now you've started on Newt meanwhile we have a President that you worked hand in glove with to elect but didn't find out anything about him.You still know or report very little about his past 15-20 years.To put it where you can understand it you are a pack of rotten assholes

As the old saying goes "if he's his friend I'd hate to see his enemies!
