His life sized standup, as it appears at the Hollywood Shoppe is 6 feet tall. They appear to at least aimed at accuracy: the Bush standup is 5'11" and Abe Lincoln is 6'3". Newt's standup weighs only 5 pounds, though, so it's obviously not as true to life as it could be.

A Google image search shows that he's shorter than Bill Clinton. It shows also that he appears to be of average height--he does not seem exceptionally tall or short.

Did Roman Catholic Church grant Newt Gingrich annulments of his previous marriages in return for monetary compensation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I can not answer how many annulments Newt may have received. I am aware of one and that was to his second wife. When Newt married her, she was a divorcee. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so considered his marriage to her as being invalid. Newt is a recent convert, or convert in progress, to Catholicism. It is not a matter of public record of what his current status as a Catholic is at this time nor am I able to find any references to other annulments.

Is Newt Gingrich on Fox News pay role?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Newt Gingrich IS listed as a Fox New Contributor. This means Fox News can call on him to participate in panels or as an expert in his field and pay him for that appearance as they do someone like Juan Williams or Sarah Palin.

However, once Newt Gingrich entered into the race for President of the United States, he can no longer be used in that capacity. Any appearance he makes on Fox News is that of a candidate and he receives NO payment for that appearance. Each candidate is generally offered equal time and they do NOT receive payment for their appearance. Each candidate considers time spent on a National News network as free advertising.
