Sarah Palin: Newt Gingrich Ex-Wife Interview Will Help Him 'Soar Even More

Just hours away from ABC News' highly anticipated broadcast of a potentially explosive interview with Newt Gingrich's ex-wife, Marianne, Sarah Palin has come out swinging in defense of the GOP presidential candidate. The former Alaska Governor appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show Thursday, noting that Gingrich will likely "soar even more" as a result of the interview, rather than be harmed by it.

"I call them dumbarses," said Palin in reference to the media. "They, thinking that by trotting out this old Gingrich divorce interview that's old news -- and it does feature a disgruntled ex, claiming that it would destroy his campaign -- all this does, Sean, is incentivize conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it's played so selectively by the media, that their target, in this case Newt, he's now going to soar even more. Because we know the game now, and we just won't put up with it. Good call, media."
