Marianne Gingrich: Gingrich

House Of Representatives Speaker Dept: The allegation forced Mr. Gingrich on the defensive at the opening of Thursday evening s CNN debate. But instead of addressing it directly, he instead turned his guns on the American media for raising his personal pain. , according to Globe and Mail. The ABC News interview with Marianne Gingrich, whom Mr. Gingrich divorced in 1999 after conducting a long affair and being ousted from the speaker s job in a Republican coup, was among a slew of new developments on Thursday that shook up the GOP race and despite Mr. Perry s unexpected endorsement, however, Mr. Gingrich faced new headwinds on Thursday, as an ex-wife claimed the former House of Representatives speaker once sought an open marriage with her so he could maintain a mistress. I am frankly astounded that CNN would take trash like that to open presidential debate, the ex-speaker said. The story is false. ... I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
