'Esquire' Profiles Newt Gingrich Presidential Bid Via Damning Interview With Ex-Wife

(By Colby Hall, Mediaite) - There are a number of significant clues out this week that reveal plans that former House Representative (and current Fox News analyst) Newt Gingrich will make a presidential bid in 2012. First is the report that he’s currently “putting real legwork on the ground in Iowa.” Second is the doozy of a story out today in 'Esquire' that outlines his potential candidacy AND his character via an in-depth interview with his former wife Marianne. Lots of salacious details sure to make news in the coming weeks and months.

John H. Richardson penned the epic, 8,000 word plus opus that sets out to get to know the real person behind the political persona via a candid and at times awkward interview with Marianne Gingrich, the second ex-wife of the potential presidential candidate.
