Hey Newt! Give The Old Lady More Face Time
Newt Gingrich has a woman problem and the solution would seem to be standing one or two steps behind him. That is his wife Callista, who to my knowledge has been rendered mute — or more likely told to button her lip — at the former House speaker’s campaign appearances.
The primary reason that woman voters are turned off to Gingrich is his serial infidelities. Callista is his third wife and he left the first two to pursue affairs and then married his quarry.
The French happen to have their own presidential election going on, but can’t resist gawking across the pond at ours and seem particularly fascinated with Callista. The daily news show “Le Petit Journal” — the French equivalent of “The Daily Show” — revealed its fascination with her and her inimitable coiffure, which host Ariel Levy described as “one remarkable lock styled into an immobile, upward swoosh.”
What would be the harm of the Missus showing up on the occasional women’s oriented talk show even if the talk was more about her remarkable do than how her husband is going to save America?

What would be the harm? According to this article she’s another narcissist. This might show up when she starts talking.
From The New Yorker:
[The former strategist had a different assessment. “She’s the single most self-centered person I’ve run into in politics—it’s all about her. They do these movies together, and she does a word count: she has to have the same number of words on camera as he does or they have to reshoot.” (A spokeswoman for Gingrich Productions denied this.)]

The hair.
[1. She reportedly gets her hair done at Sugar House in Old Town, which is said to be a salon in Alexandria, or at the Andre Chreky salon in D.C.
2. The helmet hairdo does not come cheap, as the dye job is reportedly $300 or more.
3. Gawker spoke with Michael Angelo, the owner of Wonderland Beauty Parlor in New York, who said for hair like Callista Gingrich's "The reality of a hairstyle like that is that it takes masterful skill. You have to know every quirk of a person's hair growth to get it to work and be exactly the same every time. You can't trust that to a random stranger. She must have someone full time or close to it."
4. Angelo added that Callista Gingrich is probably dying her hair every two weeks to keep from getting any roots, but that she is not doing her hair on her own on a daily basis.
5. Her hair is said to be precisely the same every time she is seen in public. ]

Whew!
Clearly Callista is a Winkie.
Perhaps the Gingrich campaign would like to avoid any intimation of foreign influence in their messaging.
Focusing, instead, on Newt’s legendary clarity and focus.
He’s toast, so who gives a flying ******, let the roots show lady.
