Well, if that is what you want Newt would be preferable to Steele... the stories about Newt when he was leader are pretty interesting, he could be a very tough taskmaster. Steele, OTOH, when Schumers people broke into his personal credit files to try and find dirt on him when he was running the last time didn’t fight fire with fire, he was pretty laid back about it considering how egregious this really was, especially the guy that came here on FR and tried to take him out... I forget the whole story, but he should have been much more fire in the belly over the whole thing.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember that. Nope. No Steele then. And Newt fell apart after Clinton schooled him in the budget deal of 1995.
