Accomplishments? Like what?

Shovelling pork out the door?

Zero, count ‘em, zero balanced budgets, despite what we know now to be a booming economy.

I don’t see any difference between his term in congress and the much maligned Bush years, except for the fact that both ran up big deficits, but Bush had a war and a terrible economy and Newt?

Peace and the best economy we’ve never seen this last 12 years. So yeah, let’s give Newt credit for not stashing some in the kitty when he had the chance.

The budgets were the closest to being balanced during Newt's tenure than in any recent time.

He also engineered the GOP takeover in 1994. And brought forth some significant legislation such as welfare reform.

But you can pretend those aren't real accomplishments. Just like you can pretend that Newt is like Clinton, although Clinton got impeached for lying under oath, not for his affairs.
