I Have Been Successfully Rebutted

Yesterday I wrote a little bit about Newt and his 3 marriages. Today, Fox News has made me look like an idiot.

Dr. Keith Ablow has written an opinion piece about why Newt's marriages actually might make him a good president.

If you don't want to click, here is part of his reasoning:

I want to be coldly analytical, not moralize, here. I want to tell you what Mr. Gingrich’s behavior could mean for the country, not for the future of his current marriage. So, here’s what one interested in making America stronger can reasonably conclude—psychologically—from Mr. Gingrich’s behavior during his three marriages:

1) Three women have met Mr. Gingrich and been so moved by his emotional energy and intellect that they decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with him.

2) Two of these women felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married.

3 ) One of them felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married for the second time, was not exactly her equal in the looks department and had a wife (Marianne) who wanted to make his life without her as painful as possible.

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.

4) Two women—Mr. Gingrich’s first two wives—have sat down with him while he delivered to them incredibly painful truths: that he no longer loved them as he did before, that he had fallen in love with other women and that he needed to follow his heart, despite the great price he would pay financially and the risk he would be taking with his reputation.

Conclusion: I can only hope Mr. Gingrich will be as direct and unsparing with the Congress, the American people and our allies. If this nation must now move with conviction in the direction of its heart, Newt Gingrich is obviously no stranger to that journey.

Is this for real?

I've heard Dr. Ablow on the Howard Stern before. He did some normal sounding stuff. Then he came on again, complaining about Chaz Bono and how kids were going to see him and want to cut their penis's off. Because of that, I have to assume this is not satire.

It says that he is a psychiatrist and member of the Fox News Medical A-Team. But you may know him by his given name, BA Baracus.
