Gingrich Blasts “Liberal Media” For Not Muzzling His Ex-Wife

One of Newt Gingrich’s two ex-wives (Marianne) sat for interviews with ABC News’ Nightline, NBC’s Today, and the Washington Post, to expose his hypocrisy and general loathsome sleaziness. Seems that he wanted her to join in the fun of swingin’ sex. He told her they should have an open marriage so he wouldn’t have to hide his mistress from her anymore. This was 6 years into his affair with Callista, his third and current wife. Gingrich was married to Marianne Gingrich from 1981 to 2000.

Gingrich was committing adultery at the same time he was publicly excoriating Clinton over the Lewinsky affair.

Marianne told the Washington Post that Gingrich called to ask for a divorce in 1999, as she was eating dinner with her mother on her 84th birthday.

“Is there anybody else?” she asked him. “He was quiet. Within two seconds, when he didn’t immediately answer, I knew.”

The next day, the shameless Gingrich gave a speech titled  “The Demise of American Culture” before  a GOP womens’ group.

Gingrich dumped the killjoy square Marianne shortly after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which is worsened by stress. (A doctor helpfully advised her to avoid stress. Thanks doc! Great tip!)

But here’s the kicker: Gingrich is taking the high road (riiight) by saying he won’t publicly criticize his ex-wife. "I'm not going to say anything negative about Marianne," Gingrich gallantly avowed. (Not in public anyway. That would be a boneheaded political move.)

Instead he’s blaming dat old debbil media for doing this: "My two daughters Kathy and Jackie have sent a letter to the president of ABC News, saying from a family perspective they think this is totally wrong," Gingrich said. "They think ABC should not air anything like this and that intruding into family things that are more, that are more than a decade old are simply wrong." 

And it was “wrong” for NBC to air an interview too, he indignantly harrumphed, in high moral dudgeon.

In other words, they should not have allowed Marianne to speak, to be heard. They should not air interviews with her. Presumably the Washington Post should not allow her words to be read by the public.

Newt Gingrich is attacking the “liberal media” for not censoring and blacking out his ex-wife, for not making her an unperson, for not denying her the right to communicate with the public.

Way to go, King Newt, Emir of Washington. Thus are all those with a will to power innate enemies of human rights and freedom of speech.

One thing about that greased eel Gingrich- he’s never at a loss for a slippery comeback that obfuscates the real issue. Another example is how he dealt with Juan Williams very mild challenge to his racist food stamp demagoguery during a recent debate.

Oh, I forgot to tiresomely remind you that Gingrich blows a lot of the typical “conservative” smoke about “family “values” “traditional values”  “moral values” “values values values blah blah blah blah blah.” (And those damn gays threatening the “sanctity” of marriage with their demands to be allowed to marry! That would destroy the institution!)
