Sarah Palin: Newt Gingrich Ex-Wife Interview Will Help Him 'Soar Even More' (AUDIO)

Things between Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich keep getting rosier.

Hours away from the airing of a controversial ABC News interview with Gingrich's ex-wife the former Alaska governor came to the GOP presidential hopeful's defense. Palin appeared on Thursday's radio edition of the "Sean Hannity Show", noting that Marianne Gingrich's claim that Newt wanted an "open marriage" will do anything but damage his 2012 hopes.

"I call them dumbarses," said Palin in the interview, referring to the media. "They, thinking that by trotting out this old Gingrich divorce interview that's old news -- and it does feature a disgruntled ex, claiming that it would destroy his campaign -- all this does, Sean, is incentivize conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it's played so selectively by the media, that their target, in this case Newt, he's now going to soar even more. Because we know the game now, and we just won't put up with it. Good call, media."

In the ABC News interview, Marianne explains how Newt unsuccessfully prodded her to partake in an open marriage. Newt has a well-documented history with women, dating back to an affair he had with his high school geometry teacher.

The Gingrich-Palin connection has had an active week. On Tuesday, Palin made her South Carolina proclamation, telling viewers on Fox News that "If I were a South Carolinian, I would vote for Newt." Gingrich reciprocated on Wednesday, telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer that she was a person he'd consider giving "a major role" in his presidential administration.

It was okay when he cheats on his first wife (the one with cancer) with her but when he cheats on the second wife, it's wrong and she gets all in a tizzy. Come off of it lady. He (or she) who is without sin, cast the first stone.

I know it's old news but Sarah likes the chocolate.

Sarah was correct, ......again. And how many laughed here?

There must be a point were the left can learn the rudiments of introspection. We need a solid discourse from the left.

1) "Ask not what your country can do for you, rather ask what you can do for your country"

2) "Question Authority"

3) "Trust People"

are now fully vested (owned) by the Conservatives. While,

1) "Oh, only government knows best for you and me!"

is the only thing tying the fully refuted Progressives together.

Frankly, the left has nothing to run on.

As in most divorces, things said by an "ex" should always be taken with a grain of salt. BUT, usually where there's smoke, there's fire. But why do all of these women start coming out of the woodwork now . Not that I'm a Newt lover, but every candidate seems to have someone in the closet ready to tell their story to the world, and prior to that it was business and affairs as usual. Is it money? Seriously, these women make themselves look worse than the candidate they are "outing".

Only in America would someone make a comment like Sarah Palin just did: Now that the interview has come out about Newt asking his second wife after she had been diagnosed with MS if she would share him with Callista, that his popularity should soar. Sounds like Sarah knows something about Callista's health and is just waiting to be the fourth wife.

"...Ex-Wif­e Interview Will Help Him 'Soar Even More'"

"...Ex-Wife Interview Will Help Him 'Soar Even More'"
**********************************************
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, how many times do you have to be told that one does not "soar" to the bottom-one "sinks" to the bottom.

And as to the Newt's saying "...that she was a person he'd consider giving "a major role" in his presidential administration.", then he has just disqualified himself as a candidate because he is "non compos mentis".

sarah: mistress of the dark is in waiting to see who wins the nomination. The Mormon or the Moron. It won't make much difference because she'll still be in waiting another 4 years and have to go back to her usual role of Cruella and skin an animal instead of a candidate.

Sarah nobody cares what you say execpt Hannity because he cannot get anyone else on his show. I thought that you were a christian conservative? you keep flip flopping. You seem to pick and choose what commandants you want to follow. Look at your own family. You are a disgrace to Republican women.Is Newt the new flavor of the month. Between you, Rush and Hannity flip flopping,it gives us a good laugh.Maybe you need to find a real job, like the rest of us.Oh I forgot you are a quitter, Who hires them.Looks like you were drinking before you went ranting on the show.Just sayin

What happened to the Republican party priding itself on being the "family values" party? Has the definition of "family values" changed?
