I often wondered exactly what he did that made them get him. I think it was an Al Capone and IRS type thing, if you catch my drift.
I don't think he was exactly squeaky clean but he was small potatoes compared to the likes of Robert Toricelli and many others.
I think it had a lot more to do with the fact that he called for investigations of Bill Clinton and Janet Reno. He was a true anti democrat democrat who supported prayer in schools, strict border control (because bin laden could walk across our border with a nuke).
Granted his one minute speeches read like a comedy routine but there were some amazingly accurate predictions in them.
