bp, want to take a crack at Message 6286669 ? I'm trying to be diplomatic on the topic, but this "demonized Newt" thing, compared to the palpable Clinton hatred so popular here, has me puzzled. To repeat my conclusion from that post, Newt misjudged the reaction to the Clinton videos. He wasn't particularly interested in thinking about justice or fairness when he pushed through broadcasting "secret" grand jury testimony, explicit sexual content and all, as a followon to the lurid overkill of the Starr report. He thought he was delivering the coup de grace, and it didn't turn out that way. Or, he was being professional and non-partisan in the matter. Opinions differ on that, I guess, but tactically, it sure looks like a blunder. Cheers, Dan.
