I was an alert conservative at the time Gingrich attempted the showdown with Clinton.

That showdown might have come down on Clinton’s side, but it was not Clinton who engineered it. It was the media that ran non-stop stories about closed passport offices and people who couldn’t get assistance.

So was I. Clinton got the best of Newt and the media were his willing allies. When has it ever been otherwise in modern American politics?

I would still disagree. Clinton did not do it.
