THE SPEAKER STEPS DOWN
Why Newt Left the House
And these are good 'walks through history' too ....
Newt Camp
Dick Cheney: When Newt showed up he said, we can become the majority, we can take back the House of Representatives. We hadn't had the House since the 1940s. And initially, none of us believed it. But he was persistent, he was tenacious. He kept it up, kept it up, and kept it up. Finally by '94 he's the newly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives with a Republican majority. So I wouldn't underestimate him.
Keep those handy...We’ll need them. Thanks. You earned your shirt.
