After noting that within minutes of Rick Perry dropping out of the GOP primary race and endorsing Newt Gingrich, the announcement came that Gingrich's ex-wife, Marianne was, as he put it, “about to go Divorce Court on his ass”, Jon Stewart ripped on Gingrich for this not being the first, but the second wife that Gingrich divorced after finding out that they had a serious illness.

STEWART: Oh, it's the second of his three wives, Marianne. The Jan Brady, of Mrs. Gingrich's. The meat in his wife hoagie, The Empire Strikes back of his wives. The one that ends kind of sad, but in retrospect is really the best one. Well at least I can't imagine Marianne had as big a beef with the former Speaker than... as his first wife.

[...]

First wife cancer, second wife multiple sclerosis. Can Newt Gingrich be reclassified as a pollutant? A carcinogen? This guy's like the dioxin of husbands!

[...]

I think I’m going to be sick…and then Newt will leave me.

The Daily Show's “senior correspondent” John Oliver ultimately concluded that Gingrich's hypocrisy won't harm him in the GOP primary.

OLIVER: You are wrong Jon. You're simply wrong. Gingrich can simply make the case to voters, don't look at what I did. Look at the skill it took me to do it. With Washington hopelessly gridlocked, he can sell his audacity as a negotiating strength. Do you really think the Chinese want to go toe to toe on debt negotiations with a guy who tried to get his recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis wife to swing? No way! The Chinese don't stand a chance in those talks Jon. Their culture is based on shame and Newt Gingrich has none.

If you were casting a movie and you needed somebody to play the role of the amoral, scumbag politician, Newt is right out of central casting. Yeah wingnuts, go ahead, make him your candidate for President - PLEASE!

The GOP is SERIOUSLY thinking of putting Newt up for the job? NEWT?

Oh screw this. He gets the nod this country deserves to sink. I'll move to Canada.

Yes , imagine it . A lot of so called progressives keep saying or they insinuate that there's no difference between Obama , Bush , Ginrich or Romney , that's TeaBagger stupid and ignorant is what that is . If we're not careful / smart President Ginrich or Romney will become a reality . I'm not an Obamabot or an Obama apologist , just realistic . Yeah , I'm disappointed , but realistic and damned afraid that Ginrich or Romney or one of the other Republicons will become President . People not voting , that did us wonders didn't it ? Then we have the walnuts to trash and blame Obama exclusively after we have undermined him . He's been in office three F'n years and look what he got himself into , during the campaign he repeatedly emphasized that it would take time and he emphasized the word WE , and that he could not do it alone . We abandoned him and pulled the rug out in no time . Sheesh . Is it any wonder his administration has not catered to the far left ? That's one reason , and there are other good reasons , like as it stands he cannot get the votes to pass far left legislation and if he had gone rabid progressive left he would not win a second term . We need to grow up and wise up .


"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."

But ". . . We abandoned him and pulled the rug out in no time."

We're just idiots and fools. It's our fault Barack Obama began with investment banker whore Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff, switched to Bill "JP Morgan Chase" Daley, then now to Jacob "CitiGroup" Lew.

If it weren't for our failings, we'd have been just fine :'( Sorrow people; we've let him down. When will we realize that if we'd just given Barack more, he'd have given so much more back. He's only given the banksters what they want because of our failings.

C'mon you whimps! Pony up that $35,800.00 a plate or it's all your fault!

You know the part where Jon is gagging at the thought of Pig Newton having sex? I feel that way every time I see Pig Newton.

If Ginrich is the Republicon's nominee the cult members will vote for him , all of them will .

Proves that all these religious freaks and so called family value Reslugs are all big fakes and hypocrites. Reslugs are the party of NO values obviously to except the adulterer and NO morals Newt.

Those that actually hold positions of power or are allowed to run for them are about as far from religious as one can get, but this works well on those who actually are unfortunately.

how much worse things would be in this nation if we didn't have these guys to educate us in such a funny way.

The corporate oligarchy should actually be thankful that Stewart is creating informed citizens with a sense of humor, who are interested in making change with a smile when at all possible.

If Newt can't negotiate an open marriage with his own wife, how is he going to negotiate with the Germans?

I remember Newt stating that he and Helmet-head like to dress-up as Ronnie Ray-gun and the missus so that leads me to one conclusion- Newt wants to fuck Nanc while Helmet-head goes down on Ray-gun. I bet Ronnie's sperm bounces off Helmet-head's hair-do and hits Newt, I mean, Ray-gun, square in his eye.
