Related: About this forumHoly shit, Lawrence O'Donnell just played a clip from the past hour on Fox of Newt Gingrich
gratuitously insulting Megyn Kelly, claiming she was obsessed with sex and more interested in sex than foreign policy! She handled it well and ended by saying she hoped he would work on his anger issues This will be everywhere and doesn't help the GOP at all!

Newt Gingrich was always a scheming egomaniac, so it stands to reason that he would be on the tv machine defending Trump.
And these are the last peaceful days of the current GOP. I think it gets much hairier when they're blown out of the water Nov. 8th. I don't envy the job of whoever will try to fix it.

The similarities between him and Trump in terms of their marriages are glaringly obvious.

Gingrich is right about one thing: we are living in alternate Universes.
Amazing back and forth. Megyn Kelly took no prisoners on this one. She literally ripped the man a new one.
Good one on her!

I hate to say this but I could easily overlook her politics. I apologize to those who are offended by that statement which would be most of you.

I was up in Minot, ND (about 285 miles from me) in early October while visiting family. I did see a row of Trump signs on one yard. I really felt like driving over the curb and mow them suckers down.

(14,858 posts)According to the Meyers, Urban had acid reflux problems that weren't correctly diagnosed and he indeed thought he had heart problems.
When Shelley Meyer was interviewed after Urban accepted the OSU job, she was asked by a reporter in Florida why he was going from one demanding fan base to another. Shelley basically answered, in politically correct terms, that SEC fans were at a higher level of crazy. She said that she'd miss the weather there, though.
After the most recent loss, I made my usual comment. "At least many football fans around the country are happy."
They'll be fine if they can win out. If the offense keeps playing so poorly, that won't happen, but the loss might put a fire under them. I personally wish they'd run up-tempo more often. The offense clicks when they do, and Barrett somehow even passes more accurately.

(18,318 posts)Oklahoma-Florida game when the OU QB came to the line, then robotically looked over to the sideline as in some sci-fi movie, looking for some kind of instruction. Peculiar, in that the Gators were already shifting the defense to befuddle the "new" offensive play. Peculiar, too, in that Stoopes got his football creds by coaching the Gator defense. I think that method of play-calling contributed to the Florida win

(28,270 posts)How Newt Gingrich's bedside visit with his hospitalized first wife has haunted him for three decades
JUSTIN ELLIOTT TUESDAY, MAR 8, 2011 09:01 AM CST
For almost three decades, Newt Gingrich has been dogged by a single devastating anecdote from his past, one that has been repeated in the national press hundreds of times and that has arguably come to define his political persona. After being elected to Congress in 1978 on a family values platform, the story goes, he visited his wife Jackie, who was in the hospital recovering from an operation for uterine cancer, and demanded that she discuss terms of their divorce.
http://www.salon.com/2011/03/08/gingrich_divorce_hospital_cancer/
Trump the serial pu$$y grabber married 3 times and cheated on them all and Newt Gingrich a 3 times married POS who demanded a divorce from one of his dying wife's in a hospital....read the above article.
These filthy scum balls are the representatives of the republican religious right in America!

(164 posts)So, Trump's penthouse is 3 stories tall and he's on marriage number 3. Does he build an extra floor everytime he marries another woman? At his rate, his tower will pass the tower that's in Dubai (can't think of its name).

(3,251 posts)to use first wife Jackie's words. The original report was clear back in 1984, I think it was.
He cheated on Jackie with Marianne Ginther. Then after 18 years with Marianne, Marianne ended up getting sick herself with MS, and Newt decided on greener pastures.
