Rick Perry announced that he is OUT (of the Republican primary) - UPDATE: Marianne Gingrich claims that Newt Gingrich wanted an "open marriage" - "The View" discusses the new revelations - Sarah Palin calls critics "dumbarses"

By Kathleen

Following a series of gaffs, and according to a recent report from CNN,  it would seem that Rick Perry has announced to supporters close to his campaign that he is dropping out of the GOP Presidential race and will not participate in this evenings CNN debate in South Carolina. 

Perry probably came to the decision to end his campaign after being informed that recent polls in South Carolina had him trailing at 6%. These poll results follow his extremely poor showing in the primary in Hampshire and the caucus races in Iowa. 

Several days ago Jon Huntsman, former US Ambassador to China, also dropped out from the race. How long before Rick Santorum bows to pressure and leaves the contest to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney? How long before Ron Paul announces that he is running as an Independent.

Rick baby, we are sure going to miss you! Thanks for the gaffs and laffs.

 

UPDATE: Perry's strategic retreat

UPDATE BY PATRICK:

Bad news for Newt Gingrich! His ex-wife Marianne talked to ABC-Nightline in an interview which will be aired tonight, and said that Newt Gingrich wanted an "open marriage." However, Marianne refused this request, which then apparently didn't stop Newt Gingrich of having a six-year affair with blonde nuclear bombshell Callista "I want war" Gingrich.

Marianne describes how Newt and Callista were sleeping in the bedroom of their apartment in Washington, and Newt then always called Marianne at night and ended the conversation with "I love you", while Callista was listening.


Well, at least Newt Gingrich doesn't have a sex tape, as far as we know! ;;--))

Here flollows another bombshell - "The View" discusses Marianne Gingrich's interview, together with ABC-Nightline presenter Brian Ross. This clip is just devastating! The ladies on "The View" are not pleased!

UPDATE:

We had several clips today, but the following new clip is clearly the "tape of the day", which was quickly uploaded, thanks to "Think Progress." A mean-spirited and very angry Sarah Palin calls the people who bring up the Gingrich affair "dumbarses."

 Full quote:

"PALIN: I call them dumbarses. They, thinking that by trotting out this old Gingrich divorce interview that’s old news — and it does feature a disgruntled ex, claiming that it would destroy his campaign — all it does, Sean, is incentive conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it’s played so selectively by media, that their target, in this case Newt, he’s now going to soar even more. Because we know the game now, and we just won’t put up with it. So, good call media! Way to go to covertly hype this, even Gingrich opponents, for being so brilliant they sure are dumb."

   

This clip with Sarah Palin's horrific remarks should sent and tweeted everywhere!
