According to Reuters ABC has decided that their ethics permit them to air an interview with Marianne Gingrich tonight on Nightline, after an internal debate John posted about last night. Newt’s daughters from his first marriage (he divorced their mom to marry Marianne) have already issued a statement essentially saying we ought to ignore whatever that crazy bitch says.
Here’s my question: what could she possibly say that would end Newt Gingrich’s campaign? Watching Newt is like attending a freak show every day. At first, the two-headed calf and the bearded lady are riveting, but after a while they’re just part of the scenery, and it takes something really strange to catch your attention. For example, Newt said this yesterday:
The Republican contender told a forum of anti-abortion activists ahead of South Carolina’s primary election that as president he would ignore supreme court rulings he regards as legally flawed. He implied that would also extend to the 1973 decision, Roe vs Wade, legalising abortion.
“If the court makes a fundamentally wrong decision, the president can in fact ignore it,” said Gingrich to cheers.
I don’t know what that means in practice, but isn’t taking an oath to uphold the constitution and then ignoring it basically treason? Newt says shit like this every day, and a lot of the shabby and sordid details of his personal past have been well-publicized, and he’s still a contender. So what does Marianne think will sink his boat? Did he partial-term abort the baby of his underage black mistress with his bare hands while being fellated by an illegal immigrant rentboy? It had better be something that bad or worse, otherwise Marianne’s interview is just going to be a big fizzle.

It’s not the information that will sink Gingrich, it’s the optics of the poor, abandoned wife kicked to the curb for a shinier model. There are lots of dumped spouses who are going to watch that interview and see themselves. And they’re going to hear what a shitlicker Gingrich is from their proxy.

I would guess number 2’s interview is a reminder that Newt can’t keep his dick away, when out of site of his current wife. One would assume that he has now switched to prostitutes , so as to keep from running off with another woman yet again. What service he uses would be interesting information to garner.

It is a dog whistle for those wingnuts in the 27 percentile, who have already seceded from the union in their own minds. The so called 10 amendment solution possibly augmented by the 2nd amendment solution, And is not lost on Newt, that SC is a haven for that faction of the GOP base. Newt is just answering the tea tards in wingnut speak for their cries of, “We want our country back”, and telling them in code he would be willing to do just that, if this democracy thing doesn’t pan out the right way.
It is likely too late for Newt to lock in a campaign lizard mind meld with the upcoming southern states weighing in for the GOP primary. Wonder what it would look like if Iowa and NH, were not the first two primary states, say instead it was SC and Alabama. We’d likely get Attila the Hun to run against?

It does not even make any sense that the president could ignore a “wrong” decision on Roe v. Wade. If Roe were reversed, there would be no Constitutional right to a first trimester abortion, and accordingly the states could do as they will about it. Some would ban it, some would not, and many would do something in between. What the hell is the role for the President in that scenario, an executive Order that every sperm is sacred?

* A thrice-married disgraced former Speaker who has abandoned dog whistles in exchange for dog Klaxon horns.

* A fanatical anti-sex crusader with an unfortunate Google problem.

As to mistermix’s question about motivation/utility, I think she just wants a little attention and as far as I am concerned anybody saying bad things about Newt is a good thing. There are many Christian-types who will ignore his being a big cheater because he has said sorry and there is little/no mention of this beyond a throw-away line. Also, she can offer some behind the scenes commentary on what was going on when Newtie was at the center of the Capitol Hill power pissing contest. Now that could be revealing.

This very point, contrasting the breathless anticipation of Marianne Gingrich’s interview with Newt’s own treasonous remarks about the Supreme Court, was what I was yelling at the TV this morning.
From 8:05-8:15am on CNN’s morning show, host Soleded O’Brien and three men each well-compensated for their political analysis, Ron Brownstein, Will Cain, and Roland Martin, all clucked and giggled about the interview: do people really care what an ex-spouse has to say; everyone knows about Newt’s “baggage”; comparisons between Newt and Jack Welch; what will women thiink? Not a peep (nor in the previous half-hour I watched) about Newt’s astonishing declaration that as President sworn to uphold the constitutional guarantee of the separation of powers, he would not be bound by Supreme Court decisions.
Two more paragraphs from mistermix’s Guardian link expose how dangerous and despotic are the views of this “historian:”
Gingrich has said before that he regards the president as above the court when the two branches have fundamentally differing views but he went further in committing himself to setting up a constitutional crisis on his first day in office.
How is it conceivable that such statements do not merit wide attention and alarm? “Our failed media experiment” and “Why oh why can’t we have a better press corps” just don’t go far enough in condemning the corporate media’s fundamental role in the debasement of this country.
ETA: The fifth paragraph above should be block-quoted as well. I tried to follow Watergirl’s and Steeplejack’s instructions on b-qing consecutive paragraphs (two underscores between the paragraphs), but evidently I remain an irredeemable Luddite on such matters.

We are talking about GOP voters here. They don’t give a shit about abstract nonsense like the separation of powers. After 8 years of Bush basically ignoring any laws he didn’t like — or misinterpreting them to align with a predetermined course of action — Newt’s statement is both relatively tame and demonstrably true. And as the article points out, among the base it’s a crowd-pleaser.
But put a weepy ex-wife on the tube …

Well, yes. To a lot of people of a certain age group (Rs and Ds alike), Newt is a well known bomb thrower and shitweasle of the lowest degree. On the other hand, people who are now 24 years old were 12 years old in 1998 when Newt announced his resignation. Even for those are three-four years older, it can be reasonably assumed that most weren’t very politically aware at that time. Hearing about Newt’s various misdeeds now, a lot of them are just going to think “partisan attacks, both sides do it”, etc, without really noticing that when it comes to public and personal fuckups, Newt is in a class by himself. This interview just might make an impression on these folks, but then people who might change their votes based upon such an interview aren’t likely to vote for Newt anyway.
Then again, for the 27% (god bless John Rogers) the fact that Newt is personally obnoxious and/or crazier than a shithouse rat (if he believes all of what he says) is irrelevant. Being a 27 percenter involves being personally obnoxious or crazier than a shithouse rat anyway, so voting for someone falling into either or both of those categories isn’t much of a stretch. As witness the rest of the Republican field, thankyewverymuch. Newt himself doesn’t believe his past misdeeds matter, and has said so in so many words. He thinks it’s his destiny to be Preznit, so he will say or do whatever he thinks helps him to accomplish that end.
What matters to these folks is that Newt, along with the rest of the clown car occupants, opposes Barack Obama and all his works. Unlike Obama, none of them are Kenyanislamofascistsoshulists either (or black – did I mention that Obama is black?) Whether the current field of Republicans are crazy, corrupt, incompetent or all three doesn’t matter. What matters is they aren’t Barack Obama. To complete the circle, the fact that Newt Gingrich is a 10th degree douchewaffle doesn’t matter to 27 percenters; it wouldn’t matter if ABC broadcast an interview including video of Newt microwaving live kittens while manufacturing Santorum with a rentboy. If they think he can beat Obama, they will vote for him.

Yes. This. WE know what an ass Newt is. His sins are forgotten or never known to most of the public. His 2nd wife laying them out in detail all over again could work wonders.
But to the Tea Jerks, his horrible personality is a plus. They finally get candidates who are as hateful and stupid and narcissistic as they are. They WANT that, badly.

Again, I say – to a not small number of women, the sheer strength of his personality will be magnetic. He always knows what to say, he takes the lead in things, he’s utterly confident of himself.

He’s become bloated and ugly as sin and he seethes with spite and gall, and those will slow down the effect, but not stop it.
Also, the power of self-loathing is beyond the belief of anyone with decent self-esteem. Trust me on that.

There’s a belief in some of the darker corners of the 27%-er fever swamps that the whole idea of “judicial review” — that SCOTUS and federal courts can declare a law unconstitutional — was extra-legally foisted on the country by John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison and was never explicitly granted to the courts in the Constitution.

Annnnd, it looks like Newtie asked Marianne for an “open marriage” so he could continue fucking Callista. And told her that he had been doing so *in her own bed* in their Washington apt.

It’s about Callista. Callista standing next to Newt with that frozen face, Callista in her thousand dollar suits, Callista with her freaky helmet hair.
Marianne is going after Callista. Now every time we see her doing the political wife thing for the cameras, we’re going to picture her doing the dirty with somebody else’s husband in that somebody else’s bed.
If we’re really lucky, she’ll have to give her own God loves a sinner interview, but in the meantime I think Marianne just got the ultimate payback. She called her husband’s new wife a slut on national tv, in prime time.

@Paul in KY: The Trail of Tears would be an example of the Supreme Court getting something fundamentally RIGHT, and the President ignoring it.
Possibly an example of Newt’s precise point would be the Dred Scott decision (more or less ignored by President Lincoln, although the Emancipation Proclamation carefully — from a purely legalistic standpoint — freed only slaves in areas which no longer considered themselves bound by Dred Scott and other United States laws anyway).
Someone with the mindset of a despot like Newt would be pretty scary to have in the Presidency after the power that branch has accrued to itself over the last 30-odd years.

You, good sir, are evidently a man of benevolent opinion when it comes to the American people, as represented by the Party of the 27%.
My own encounters with that faction suggest that one could comfortably fit into a Smart Car the number who could correctly identify John Marshall, much less the findings of the Marbury v. Madison decision.
A little sport I’ve played for more than thirty years among co-workers, acquaintances and at family gatherings when talk turns to matters political is to ask for the names of three sitting Supreme Court justices. From sad experience, less than one individual in ten can do so. And this among people for whom higher education is standard practice.

I think there’s a little disconnect in this thread about the different ways many Democratic men and many Republican women see Gingrich. Generally speaking, the male reaction here is, “So, we knew he was an asshole with his wives; what’s new?” Marianne, at Romney’s campaign’s behest, no doubt, is going for the “God, that pisses me off all over again!” reaction on the part of Republican women, or at least some older ones.
Newt’s never been remotely popular with that group, it’s true, but this is a weird race and some of those who have always disliked him might have been motivated to vote for him because they can’t stand Romney for other reasons. This is just designed to put some of them securely in the Romney column.
