After Perry Endorsement, Marianne Gingrich interview to air tonight

After Perry Endorsement, Marianne Gingrich interview to air tonight

Via Tony Lee Marianne Gingrich, the second wife of Newt Gingrich who has often said she could end Gingrich’s career with one interview, sat down with ABC News earlier this week for an on-camera interview, according to the Drudge Report. After much wrangling among network executives about when to air the interview, ABC will air the interview tonight on “Nightline,” which airs at 11:35 PM EST, an hour and a half after the Republican presidential debate in South Carolina. Reports are that Marianne Gingrich says nothing new in the interview, and much of what she says is similar to what she told Esquire in a previous interview in 2010.  But the impact of those words when spoken on camera can have a greater impact. Gingrich is gaining momentum in South Carolina before Saturday’s [...]

A third woman considered filing a workplace complaint against Herman Cain at the National Restaurant Association over what was termed aggressive and unwanted behavior, with invitations to his corporate apartment, according to a report in the Associated Press. Meanwhile, a radio host in Iowa said that the candidate had made "awkward" and "inappropriate" comments to staffers at the station during a visit earlier this year. Cain has already denounced the two previous allegations of sexual harassment against him as false, and suggested at least one of the women was a poor worker.

20,000 Surface-to-Air Missiles Missing from Libya

20,000 Surface-to-Air Missiles Missing from Libya

Politisite brought you a story six months ago, that  Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs) from Libya had fallen into the hands of al Qaeda.  Those reports were ignored by the Obama Administration. The Report said that the U.S. Backed rebels were former al Qaeda members who had fought United States Soldiers in the Battlefield.

But now that calculation is out the window, with officials at a recent secret White House meeting [...]
