Getting a bit bold there, are we, Harry?

When Newt resigned, it was allegedly just because the Republicans didn't do very well in the '98 elections, despite Newt's dump of the unexpurgated Starr report and "secret" grand jury videotapes on the public. The fact that he was carrying on his own personal boinkfest while all this was going on didn't come out till later.

Murdoch's little gift to Newt, which Newt couldn't see any possible problem with, was a cool $4 million or so. By way of contrast, Newt rode Jim Wright out of Congress on the weight of some picayune $50k book deal.

As to the ever popular right wing rant about Clinton selling out to the Chinese, consider the dates in this little snippet:

When American bomb makers began visiting China in 1979, they were startled by increasingly pointed questions that
suggested their Chinese peers were hot on the trail of the secret to building a modern nuclear arsenal. It allows H-bombs
to be made so small that many can fit atop a single missile or be fired from trucks, submarines and other mobile
platforms.

China succeeded on Sept. 25, 1992, the news coming from a spy who told his American handlers that Beijing had
exploded a bomb based on the miniaturization secret.
