BWHAHAHA: Newt Gingrich DEMANDS NBC APOLOGIZE To His Wife Callista


:smoke: :smoke:


" Newt Gingrich lashed out at NBC News Wednesday night, demanding the network apologize to his wife Callista for a report that put the blame largely on her for prompting the mass resignation of his campaign staff last week.:rofl::rofl:



“I believe NBC owes Callista an apology, because the fact is my campaign is my campaign,” Gingrich told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren. “Yes, we make decisions as a couple, but in the end, I take full responsibility. And I think the program this morning was totally irresponsible, and personally reprehensible, and the kind of thing that makes it hard to get decent people :rofl: to run for public office.”


Gingrich also hit back against all the former aides who have been airing grievances to reporters.



“These were supposed to be professionals who we were paying, who supposedly had some sense of confidentiality, and who promptly… did some back-stabbing:hurts: in a way that I just found amazing,” Gingrich said.

5. Is Calista upset? It isn't like you can see her frown with all the Botox pumped into her.

17. It's not just the botox...
from the looks of her I'd say she has someone come over every morning to spray-paint her face.

6. She sounds like a piece of work from what is
being said about her in the media from people who know her. I'm sure Newt deserves her though.

22. As my dad used to say, It's wonderful that they married each other
because it doesn't ruin two couples that way.

7. Generally, I don't respond to appearance smack, but in Callista's case...
Geez. She looks like a wax doll in a museum. I'd rather get down with a magazine.

8. "Amazing" is the audacity of this CON artist pretending to run for POTUS when it's been obvious
from the start that he and his plastic wife were simply selling books and DVD's. That newt petoot jackass can't tell the truth anymore because lying is his natural state. And he is shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that his staff wouldn't kiss Calista's ass when she insisted getting her twat sparkled took priority over campaigning.

HUBRIS!

12. If you blink, you will never see them coming. They are masters of confusion who prey on weak minds.
Misdirection:

" The concept of misdirection involves distracting someone from a certain topic or fact with another. The brilliant part about using misdirection is that it's incredibly easy and it's amazing how distractible we are as human beings...."

11. Newtie's had a half-hard on for NBC since he fucked up on MTP
and, since half a hard on is all he can manage these days, he went crying to Greta.

14. NBC exec to Callista Gingrich:
"I'm sorry your dream of being the next Queen Antoinette and acting in an Imperial manner to common underlings is just that, a dream. But Newt did get you some nice expensive sparkly baubles, so there is that."

16. As Jay Leno said earlier tonight, Newt's new campaign slogan is "Yes, Dear"
I figured there was SOME reason that a woman would put up with that oaf. I guess wanting to be Queen of America on her own terms was the motivation.

20. She graduated from my alma mater in 1987.
21 years after I did. I have the college annuals for her years there and there is little indication there of the talents she later acquired. The Gingriches show up there at Homecomings. I avoid them.

24. "...makes it hard for decent people to run for office."
Which is why Newt is running, instead.

28. haha, the best part is when he compares himself and his wife to "Ronnie and Nancy Reagan" hahahahah
These idiots can't go 5 minutes without trying to think of some way to compare themselves to Reagan.

SNL needs to do a skit where all these Repubes have a contest to see who is the most like Ron Reagan. hahahahaha

30. ABC had an article on about them last night and they didn't
paint her in such a good light either. That Callista must be some powerful woman because she has apparently newtered the Big Head.
