Until Bush, I don't know of any Republican who was hated as much by the Dems. But without him, the Repubs would never have got the House in 94. Or lost the White House in 1996, perhaps. Newt's brilliant, but his bomb-throwing tactics did a lot to polarize an already polarized town. I think I prefer him as a commentator.

. . . forced the resignation of the Dem speaker, and proved he was a crook. One could hardly argue Jim Wright was not a crook he was, for one thing, so deep into the pockets of the savings and loan industry. But the charge Gingrich got him on was about as small time a bit as possible. When one thinks, even half way seriously, of all the great acts of theft of public dollars done by the political class in, say, the last fifty years, that particular deed of Wright's doesn't even merit the proverbial slap on the wrist. Love this OT.
