After nearly a week on the defensive, CNN's John King reports tonight that Newt Gingrich's claim about offering witnesses to ABC News in his defense — to rebut the network's interview with his second wife, Marianne Gingrich — was not true.

"Tonight, after persistent questioning by our staff, the Gingrich campaign concedes now Speaker Gingrich was wrong — both in his debate answer, and in our interview yesterday," King said on tonight's edition of John King USA. "Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage."

An important victory for John King in his ongoing effort to justify last Thursday's confrontation.

Dude is an absolute fraud.

Ya know, Romeny and Paul should have caught his lie. How is it that their friends know anything about their private lives? Would friends talk about that kind of stuff? And how would his daughters know about that? I imagine you keep them from hearing that kind of stuff.

Drudge is sure collecting enough material to where CNN could really get revenge for Newt humiliating them last week, if Wolf wants to go along with it.

Drudge seems to really want to destroy Newt. Last week it backfired, but it seems to be working so far this time. We'll see what happens in the debate.

So far the responses in this thread are operating on the premise that the question was an attempted "got you" question. I'm not really a conspiracy minded individual, but considering the nature of the political game, I'd say it it was staged to Newt's advantage (he sure seemed ready for it to me). That question was what set him off like a rocket. The people sure did seem to sympathize with him that the media launched an attack on him. When the media attacks Ron Paul the people seem to all of a sudden take the created negative charges at face value. It seems people respond when the media attacks the other 3 candidates but believe it and have no sympathy when they attack Dr. Paul. Go figure.

Human offerings ... hmmmm ... that doesn't sound good.

[A. Havnes]

I've never used the word "scum" to describe anyone before. Gingrich is scum.

[Bern]

Surprise, surprise.
Newt lies.

So Swingrich finally admits he's a liar.

Duh. His middle name is EXPEDIENCY.
