I'm working on new forms of storytelling for the Observer, in the paper and online. Part of that involves gathering stories from readers. I'll be asking you for some of yours on a regular basis. You can see the results on my blog, Tommy's Table.

I've worked for the Observer for 21 years, as a bureau reporter,

NORTH CHARLESTON If President Newt Gingrich starts loading his stuff into the Oval Office a year from now, he needs to cut a big check to CNN's John King.

And just to say it, if SC votes for Newt, it will go a long way to solidify their status as the dumbest state in the union. Given the way children are treated in the Palmetto State, it's no wonder they grow up to be so ignorant.

OUCH!

US native South Carolinians get no respect North of the Border.

You got it right on some things about Newt. Being on the inside with Newt during the late 80's and early 90's in Georgia and Cobb County which became the center of the Republican Universe during that time. I know Newt very, very, very well and of course MariaAnne. She is no liberal or wherever term that you decided to discribe her as. Her Family Background was all Republican during her time in growing up in Ohio. She stay in Cobb County and live in their house in east cobb most of the tme while Newt stay in Washington almost of the time. She was a Homebody and really a great and nice person while somewhat sly.. I became aware of Newt affairs in the middle of 1995 after the so-called phony republican revolution of 1994 when I was engaged in defending Christina Jeffery after Newt fired her as the House Historia in early 1995 over phony racist research that she never did as a History Prof for the USA Education Department. ..Newt made promises that she would be taken care of after the fire storm was over..He lie to her, I have the tapes and other docs to prove he lies like a Chairperson for the National Liars Club of America. It really made me mad when Newt was in town [Marietta] that he would take Mariaanne to a Breakfest House " Le Peeps", next door to my business and on Saturday mornings, he would take Mariaanne hand and walk around the Town Square and Park with her proving what a great family values person that he was to the local folks. She had no clue to his unfaithless at that time, since he was into a banging affair with a younger Golddigger political legal lawyer HO on many federal subcommittees House payroll for 6 years during his marriage to Marieanne.. We could never guess who the women was since Newt cover it up like a Grand Wizard of the Klan during a crossburning. Once we fiqure out that he was snake in the Grass and we finally guess who the women was, I told Newt to his face at the annual 4 th of July Republican Fest in 1995 that he was going to be history if this affair was true since he wasn't delivering on his promises to Christina nor the hard core believers in his district. He gave me the meanest facial expression one could give and told me I was nuts and a Conspiracy freak, who had no clue on how politics work and stomp off in a rage. I caught him at the Drive In Gate and told him the Brown Chair [ The Brown Chair was infamous since 100's of Pols had sat in it including famous Jocks and Rock Stars] had ears in my office since he had sat there many times over the years by running his mouth..By the way, the only witness to this clash at the gate was, believe it or not was Michael Moore who was following Newt around during that time while down and out as a nutcase lefty with no means of support trying to expose Newt. Michael ask me if that was true what I said to Newt and could he write about it. I said no and shove his face into a plastic baby pool being use as a cold drink cooler next to the gate. The dunking of Michael made the news and became quit a joke around Georgia for years during my infamous stay there. In short , Newt is a scumbag, a hundred times worst than John Edwards and a confirmed liar. He is a Coward and a very, very dangerous person if he is ever given total political power in this country . I have more to say later ..
