His Wife Worked For RW Think Tank & Newt Gingrich

[otohara]

A well connected son of a state politician is running in a house district primary - His new bride spent her post college years working for AEI and Newt Gingrich. Newt credits glowingly in his books and she co-wrote a handful of articles articulating Newt's greedy icky theories - all of which made me hurl.

He claims she was young... but not so much when she went back and did some stuff for Newt's 2012 POTUS run. .

We're not supposed to speak of it either.

1. Geez--Most informative post on DU this week!

[Aerows]

3. It could be informative

if I knew who the OP was talking about.

6. The OP seems to mean well, but I am scratching my head too.

A little more explanation by the OP would help.

[Aerows]

13. It is usually helpful when people just say who they are talking about

rather than leaving some ominous tone that "we can't talk about them" assuming everyone in the world is on the same train of thought as they are.

I even hunted around using some key words and STILL can't figure out who the OP refers to.

[Aerows]

2. Um, sorry

Who are you talking about?

[notadmblnd]

4. Is this the "Who Am I" question of the day?

5. if he is running for public office why don't you just tell us who it is

7. such an unusual situation

stuff like this never happens

[edgineered]

8. The moment when I realized my girlfriend was just like me

was the moment our relationship ended. I found her to have some serious faults. How anyone here can hold someone accountable for their significant others actions puzzles me.

11. in some situations i think it does matter, when someone is asking for your vote and other such

I remember the day Karl Rove was in front of my car at the airport - I had a visceral reaction.
Newt is pure evil too.

She was surrounded by the Karl's and Newt's of the GOP while at the AEI

19. Can you throw us a bone here?

At least mention a state or something.

[Aerows]

12. Do you have any idea who the OP is referring to?

Because I don't think I'm alone in this thread having no clue.

[goldent]

24. I have no idea

But regardless, if he is the one running for office I don't care where his wife used to work.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

20. Obviously there's no problem, since you're NOT speaking of it.

Must not be important.

22. We're doing blind items now?

Nobody told me.
