Gingrich Announces Divorce from Third Wife, Credits NY Gay Marriage Law for Split
"This legislation makes me think I should meet new people... make new friends... maybe start to experiment a bit more."
WASHINGTON – In light of New York’s gay marriage law, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has announced that he will be seeking a divorce from his wife, furthering the string of bad news emanating from his campaign.
Gingrich, who formerly served as the Speaker of the House, has suffered a number of set backs since announcing his presidential candidacy a month ago, culminating in a mass departure of his top staff only three weeks into his campaign.
This is not the first time Gingrich has encountered marital difficulties. He has been divorced two times before, and began having a relationship with his current wife while married to his second wife.
In announcing his intent to divorce his wife, Callista, Mr. Gingrich cited the recent legalization of same sex marriage in New York State. “I cannot, in good conscience, remain married while that institution is buried asunder by the most insidious and gargantuan threat in its history. This is a shocking and fundamental change to our culture, driven by the leftist secular-socialist machine,” said Mr. Gingrich in a statement provided to the press.
Sources that are personally close to Callista paint a different picture, however. They claim that she is the one pushing for a divorce, motivated by the poor performance of his campaign. “She really wanted to be the First Lady. Why else would she have that hair?” said a friend.
Mr. Gingrich will take some time off of his campaign to console himself over the split. He will use the time to produce a documentary on the importance of marriage, to be available on DVD through his website for only $19.95.

Ron Paul is right on about smaller gvnmrneeot and I do believe he would drastically cut useless, bloated gvnmrneeot programs. I do however have serious reservations about his stance on foriegn policy. I can’t believe his implications that America is responsible for 911 as we are sticking our noses in the business of other countries. Yes, we need to stop being the world’s policeman however he went too far. Terrorists are responsible for 911 and that is it. Ron Paul hooked up with Barney Frank to form a committee to cut budget defense ..Nobody with a brain or a heart should ever hook up with a sleeze like Barney Frank.. 11 out of the 14 advisors picked by Ron and Barney are linked with George Soros. What is wrong with Ron Paul??? Once, I liked him alot, but his approach for foriegn policy is out of wack.
