Aside from all of the obvious tripe in the article...
How did Newt blow the impeachment? Didn’t that happen in the Senate?
What he is referring to is that a lot conservatives including most on this forum at the time questioned if Newt was serious about the impeachment and had the moral authority to carry through with impeachement as he was being blackmailed by Hildebeest with the FBI files.
When Newt left, the Dems then took out Livington. They thought they had defanged the Republican leadership and there would be no impeachment. But in the interim, Tom "The Hammer" DeLay did an incredible job of leadership and organized the impeachment. He was sold out in the Senate by his own party led by the ultimate political crossdresser Phil Gramm and the future crossdresser Arlen Specter who infamously invoked Scottish law with his impeachment vote.
Newt blew the impeachment because he laid low knowing he was living in a glass house vis a vis adultery. He let conservatives down. And yes I know that Clinton was impeached for perjury. We got 1% of Newt instead of 100% when we needed it.
