Fox News ‘A-Team’ Psychologist: Being Married Three Times Could Make Gingrich A Better President
By Zack Ford on Jan 20, 2012 at 6:12 pm

Assuming Marianne Gingrich’s allegations are true, Newt Gingrich reacted to news of his own wrongdoing by attempting to justify his deplorable behavior (asking for an “open marriage” after he’s already cheating) and then proceeding to continue down that path anyway (dumping Marianne for Callista). While most would be repelled by such actions, Dr. Keith Ablow of Fox News’ “Medical A-Team” believes Gingrich’s personal choices would not negatively impact his performance as president. In fact, Ablow argues’ that Gingrich’ ability to attract so many women is a sign that the rest of the country will fall for him too:

You can take any moral position you like about men and women who cheat while married, but there simply is no correlation, whatsoever—from a psychological perspective—between whether they can remain true to their wedding vows and whether they can remain true to the Oath of Office. [...]

..........

Conclusion: When three women want to sign on for life with a man who is now running for president, I worry more about whether we’ll be clamoring for a third Gingrich term, not whether we’ll want to let him go after one.

1. Is this guy trying to destroy Gingrich or help him?

With friends like that who needs enemies?

[southernyankeebelle]

4. I wouldn't believe anything this man says even if his tongue is notarized

[muntrv]

2. Hey Dr. A-Blow! Show us your medical license!

[Justice wanted]

3. It amazing how they are actually trying to sell that line to the "Marriage is the only once" fundie

GOPer

[Happyhippychick]

5. Translation: fidelity only matters when a democrat is running for office

[Scuba]

6. Those whores would try to defend eating baby pandas if that's what they were ordered to do.

[flakey_foont]

7. geez,, they'll say anything, won't they?

and their listeners will fall for it

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Isn't Ablow the guy who said kids shouldn't watch Chaz Bono

on "Dancing with the Stars" because it would make them turn transsexual?

Sounds like he has really solid credentials as a psychologist.

[Jackpine Radical]

9. He's a psychiatrist, not a psychologist.

[Viking12]

10. he sounds more like a psychiatric patient than a psychiatrist

[Jackpine Radical]

17. That is often the case with that profession.

[Initech]

24. I really wonder how he hasn't been sued for malpractice yet.

No psychiatrist should put their personal bigotry ahead of patient responsibility.

[LonePirate]

11. After breaking his marriage vows twice as well as Congressional ethics rules ...

what rules, laws, pledges, oaths, promises would Newt break as President? I think that is a fair question to ask this chump at the next debate.

[Jackpine Radical]

18. Oh, but he's found Jesus now, so all is forgiven & he's reformed.

Just like Dubya.

[AllyCat]

12. This fraud has just insulted every thinking person

What a joke this man is. Almost as big a joke as the network giving him airtime.

[chowder66]

13. That's hilarious and gross all at once!

Attract so many women.


Oh.....g...o....d that is funny!!!!

[tanyev]

14. Hell's bells, let's get Larry King in the White House!

[HockeyMom]

15. Some men, and women too, shouldn't get married

Maybe they would have been better off remaining single their entire life. I think in today's generation we are finally realizing that we DON'T have to get married. Just my opnion.

[Ilsa]

16. That is my thinking about Newt.

I've dated a number of men who were confirmed batchelors. They wanted variety in their social lives and beds. They are doing women a favor in letting them know that they are not marriage material.

[MrScorpio]

19. I wonder what Ablow would say if Newtins was an axe murderer instead nt

[pinboy3niner]

27. "Ideally equipped to dismember...um, cut...CUT the federal budget"

[Matariki]

20. When Newt spends a half million at Tiffany's on "the rest of the country"

then "the rest of the country" will talk.

(Newt probably shouldn't hold his hopes too high though. You either Mr. "A-Team" psychologist.)

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

21. Uhh...

[spanone]

22. bwahahahahaaa bwahahaa faux gets funnier by the day...i swear they're in cahoots with the onion

[sakabatou]

23. Wut?

[Major Nikon]

25. This guy looks like a penis with ears

Just sayin'

[NCTraveler]

26. Then I Should Be King Of The Fucking Universe!!!!
