There's yet another Repbulican debate tongight. I didn't see it, but apparently Newt went off on CNN's John King for asking about the ABC News interview with his ex-wife Marianne that will air tonight on Nightline. Here's Newt:

"I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run of for public office and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that," Gingrich said.

"Every person in here knows personal pain. Every person in here has had someone close to them go through painful things. To take an ex-wife, and make it two days before the primary a sign question in a presidential campaign, is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine," Gingrich said.

How clever (not.) A family values spokesman who asks his wife for an open marriage and carries on a 6 year extra-marital affair is now a victim of "personal pain." I wonder if his daughter, the one who's an expert at messaging and branding, came up with that.

    Newt's very presence in this race (5.00 / 2) (#11)

    is proof of the difficulty in attracting decent people to run for public office.

    Love how he turns it all around to "every person knows personal pain," to deflect from the personal pain he has been responsible for inflicting on women he married and vowed to stay true to.

    He thinks it's despicable for the media to raise his personal behavior?  Why, because we might take the next step and juxtapose it against his family values moralizing?

    I'm surprised the collective guffaw his faux outrage - that he probably practiced all day - generated didn't cause an avalanche somewhere.

    What a horrid little man he is.

    at the New Yorker, inspired by this excerpt from the NYT re Mitt's behavior:

    When Mitt Romney introduces himself to voters, he has a peculiar habit of guessing their age or nationality, often incorrectly. (A regular query: "Are you French Canadian?")
    When making small talk with locals, he peppers the conversation with curious details. . . . Mr. Romney has developed an unlikely penchant for trying to puzzle out everything from voters' personal relationships to their ancestral homelands. . . . Mr. Romney likes to congratulate people. For what, exactly, is not always clear.

    But Romney just came out with another big endorsement today - the governor of Virginia (where Newtie isn't even on the ballot). As of a couple of days ago (which could change, grant you). Romney is up an average of almost 19 points in Florida.  With the birth of Super PACs, candidates that have no business staying in the race can hold on a little longer than they would have in the past. People in the know, in the party, still don't see an upset coming on.

    Also, the debate audiences (which I hate, by the way - there should be NO audience, IMO) are picked ala Jerry Springer, for the maximum TV viewing effect. And, don't forget, the evangelical vote is still gonna be split between Newtie and Santorum.  How that will affect the primary, we don't know yet, and with 20% of Perry supporters saying they would back Romney, it's anyone's guess at this point.

    And if Newtie wins, it still doesn't mean anything.  He will never be the nominee, and Mitt may be a little bruised, but all this does is give him more time to polish his answers so when the Dems try to hit him with the same arguments, it's already out there.

    On Wednesday and Thursday, a flood of polls came in showing major movement for Gingrich -- he went from ten points down to leading in some of them, and all within a period of two days. The trend was clear and best exemplified by NBC/Marist data: the day before the Republican debate, Romney was ahead by fifteen. The day after he was only behind by five. By the time Public Policy Polling (D), Rasmussen and InsiderAdvantage conducted snap polls on Wednesday, Newt was ahead

    This is state of the race at the moment -- zoom in by clicking and dragging to see the huge Newt surge in the last few days.

    and this was before last night and the question/response that has conservatives swooning.

    Since when were politicians expected to actually answer a question during a televised debate? Isn't attacking the premise of the question a time-honored debating technique?

    After all, Newt was not really trying to answer Jon King, any more than King was really interested in hearing his answer. The response was directed to the SC Republican electorate, who may have found it appropriate. I did, and I'm just an independent observer.

    If the national media are going to stoop to the level where they become gossip columnists and participants in smear campaigns while purporting to be covering something as serious and important an election for President, then they deserve to get called on it. We are electing a Chief Executive, not a Sunday School superintendent.

    I couldn't care less about Gingrich's sex life, any more than I cared about Clinton's. Personally, I'd rather not think about Gingrich's sex life at all. The thing that disgusts me about it isn't the behavior -- that's between him and his wives and his kids. It's that he was one of the chief cheerleaders for impeaching Clinton, putting on holier-than-thou airs and pretending and moral rectitude while his behavior was as bad or worse. It's the unblushing, in-your-face hypocrisy that pisses me off about him; I wouldn't give a damn about what Gingrich did if he hadn't given so much of a damn about what Clinton did. The whole impeachment sideshow circus was designed to destabilize the presidency, and it wasn't as if we didn't know it at the time, but it stings all the more to have it rubbed in our face by knowledge of just how cynical a pretense that moral pose was. I hate it when politicians cynically work the country up into a lather for no reason.

    I've been following politics since I was in grade school. I'm now happily entrenched in middle age. So I do know how things work.

    But after over 30 years of watching this stuff, I have reached a point of, well, "false outrage fatigue," I guess you'd call it. It's completely transparent, when you know to look for it, and yet I watch the hue and cry from the people who get revved up by politicians who are so transparently not outraged by the things that they pretend to be outraged by. I've passed through the acceptance stage of "that's just what politicians do" to base-level contempt when I see them doing it.

    Newt set the standard.  Now he says is is not valid.

    How many times would it have to be explained to you?  REPUBLICANS care about sex, but only when Democrats have it.  When it isn't a Democrat  such as Bill Clinton, David Wiener, John Edwards or Gary Hart, IOKIYAR.  David Vitter is still in the Senate.  Newt is still a viable candidate.  John Ensign stayed in the Senate for two years after his affair with a staffer was revealed.

    Wiener, Edwards and Hart lost their reputations and any chance at holding elective office, and Clinton was impeached, for doing what Vitter, Ensign and Gingrich did.  Since Vitter hired a prostitute, his act was also criminal as well as tawdry.

    No we DON'T care about the sex.  We care about the naked hypocrisy of Newt suggesting that Democrats are unfit for office for doing exactly what Mr. Gingrich (and Vitter and Ensign) was doing.

    But everything I've read this morning (and watched a little MSNBC last night after the debate) said Newt had the first few minutes which were very good and then the rest was so-so.  Santorum had a really good debate, but it won't matter since he will be done within a couple of weeks.  And Romney fumbled on some questions, but also had a solid performance, including getting digs in at Newt for his supposedly close working relationship with Ronald Reagan, when in fact, Reagan barely knew his name. He also had a good solid answer on his wealth - he earned it and shouldn't be taken to task for being successful. (you can argue the truthfulness of each statement, but that's not what we're talking about, especially as Newtie had a bunch of whoppers himself).

    Newt could very well win Saturday, but Florida?  Don't see it. Even winning tomorrow will be hard - who you see in the audience at these debates are not ALL Republican voters in SC.  They stack the audiences. As I said upstream, SC always loves it some crazy in the GOP contests, but they ALWAYS vote for the more mainstream candidate.

    by Anne on Fri Jan 20, 2012 at 07:20:30 AM EST
    inspection, he makes it fair game for questioning, when he runs on a family values platform, sits in judgment of the personal lives of others, and seeks to use the power of government to impose his beliefs on matters affecting our personal lives even as he fails to hold himself to those same standards.

    Which is why Newt's lecture, delivered with such outrage, on the destructive force of the media being the reason it's so hard to find decent people to serve the public, even as he fails to address the indecency of being a serial adulterer who has probably caused more personal pain than he has suffered, ought to be thrown right back in his sour, caved-in face.

    I don't know what happens in South Carolina tomorrow, but I have yet to see anything good come out of the GOP primary process so far; this is one sorry-ass bunch of presidential wanna-bes, and I don't see any signs that that's going to change any time soon.

    I just wish we had an actual Democratic incumbent fighting for a solidly Democratic platform, instead of someone who wraps Republican policy and ideas in a package that may be saner and personally scandal-free, but still comes with plenty of rigidity, judgment and authoritarian flavor.

     The young repub. was staging a mutiny against Newt.
     You will not find one clip of Newt encouraging the impeachment.
     I can't remember his name. But I think it's Dan Burton (not the one who shot the watermelon) He filed articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton in January of 1993. I laugh at this, thought it was absurd.
     Until we went through Whitewater,filegate, travelgate, Vince Foster, ect.. There were so many attacks against the Clintons.
     The repub party made infidelity a issue. Now Bill just had a little oral sex. But with the help of the media. The repubs impeached Bill.
     Newt can be outrage about the question. But it does not change the facts.
     1. He cannot be trusted to keep his marriage vows
       to any wife. He swore before God 3 times (so far).If he can't keep his promise to his wife X3,he won't keep his promise to the country.
     2.He wanted and open marriage or he just wanted to sneak around for another 6yrs.
     3. He married his high school teacher shortly after graduation. He was having a affair with her as a student.
     Newt can side step this issue. But there will never be a first mistress.
     What I find hilarious is ,wife number 3 will not let Newt out of her sight. She knows she may next.

    ... over the impeachment - Newt didn't take center stage (for what are now obvious reasons), but he certainly pushed for impeachment:

    Even so, Gingrich was hardly a bystander to the process. "[T]here is no denying that Gingrich is keeping an extraordinarily tight reign" on the House's proceedings, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in April 1998. Gingrich often negotiated directly with top White House aides, and it was Gingrich who personally rejected a September 1998 offer for Clinton to make a plea-bargain deal that would head off the spectacle of public impeachment proceedings.

    Indeed, at times Newt seemed to be enjoying Clinton's scandal thoroughly. "I will never again, as long as I am Speaker, make a speech without commenting on this topic," he proclaimed that April. He didn't wind up making good on that promise, mostly avoiding the public bluster of fervent Clinton-haters like DeLay. But Gingrich did press impeachment as a political issue at a critical--and in hindsight disastrous--moment. On the eve of the 1998 midterm elections, Gingrich ordered a round of harsh television ads on the scandal, in which distressed suburban moms asked one another, "What did you tell your kids?"

    laying off of him.  He is a kind decent Christian, he's even Reaganesque on this and the Super PACS aren't.

    The Republican candidates said SOPA "was bad" ... so did Obama.

    Of course, talk is cheap ... for both.
