NEWT EX-WIFE UNLOADS ON CAMERA; NETWORK DEBATES 'ETHICS' OF AIRING BEFORE SC PRIMARY

**Exclusive**

Marianne Gingrich has said she could end her ex-husband's career with a single interview.

Earlier this week, she sat before ABCNEWS cameras, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

She spoke to ABCNEWS reporter Brian Ross for two hours, and her explosive revelations are set to rock the trail.

But now a "civil war" has erupted inside of the network, an insider claims, on exactly when the confession will air!

ABCNEWS suits determined it would be "unethical" to run the Marianne Gingrich interview so close to the South Carolina Primary, a curious decision, one insider argued, since the network has aggressively been reporting on other candidates.

A decision was tentatively made to air the interview next Monday, after all votes have been counted.

Gingrich canceled a press conference on Wednesday to deal with the matter.

"He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected," Marianne Gingrich, Newt's wife of 18 years, explained to ESQUIRE last year.

Well there you guy, that's evidence of media bias right there. You'd be sure that there wouldn't be a 'civil war' if the story was about Ron Paul. They pretty much have to release it now.

This is nothing new.

Although I struggle to comprehend how anyone with the intelligence to breathe can say it is ethical to hide facts about a politician from people before a vote he is involved in.

Newt's a media darling. They don't want to cut short the date after prom because they might get lucky.

Why would he need a bombshell interview when people could just read the factual wikipedia article about him? Seriously?

Quote:
Gingrich has been married three times. In 1962, he married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old and she was 26.


Quote:
According to L. H. Carter, Gingrich's campaign treasurer, Gingrich said of Battley: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."


Quote:
In a 2011 interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Gingrich addressed his past infidelities by saying, "There's no question at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."

Sure....

Hell I didn't like Obama since like 2006 when I was in high school, but I do feel Obama has more "integrity" than Gingrich does, and would likely if voting was compulsory, vote for him over Gingrich frankly because Gingrich seems, well, like a scumbag, for lack of a better term.
