4. Although Callista is younger than Marianne, Marianne looks about 10 years younger
You can tell wife #2 hasn't gotten around to abusing Botox and Restalyne

10. Do you really think so?
At first glance, I understand why. Marianne looks synthetic, which in our world today can be translated to youthful.


Then when I turned 40 I decided to celebrate it publicly. Ms. gave me a birthday party, and some reporter kindly said, "You don't look 40." I said, "But this is what 40 looks like. We've been lying so long who would know?"

13. That's true
Perhaps if Mrs Newt #2 stuck around a bit longer she would of hopped on the Botox/Lip Filler bandwagon herself.

The thing is this - I think alot of women out there have done the occassional Botox. Maybe for a special occassion or treat. But the women who use that stuff on a regular basis start getting a very plastic look to their face and a smile that looks like they are related to The Joker from batman (Jack Nickelson Joker not Heath Ledger). I think for many of us we see that it just makes someone look older.

Look at Lindsay Lohan - someone started her using this crap years ago and now the girl looks like she's 35 years old - not because she's wrinkling but because her face is turning into frozen plastic.

15. She is - when I referred to wife #2 I was talking about Marianne
From the photo used by the OP you can tell she is not a regular user of Botox/Lip Fillers

6. 'Callista,' in Spanish, is a person who removes corns on the feet. It's nail specialty
Edited on Mon Jun-27-11 10:27 AM by Sarah Ibarruri
It takes a 6 month training course at an academy to become a 'callista' in most Latin countries. But that's beside the point.

Newt Gingrich is an amoral psychopath. But wait, isn't that a redundancy?

The fact that Newt Gingrich can even be with a woman is a sign that modern women have a real problem with their ability to judge. The man is evil, conscienceless, and has a head that must weigh 200 lbs.

8. But now he's all reformed and stuff
So it's okay, and don't go asking any of his surviving ex-wives about him. Gingrich will tell you all you need to know.
