Check your history, bud -- It was Bob Livingston who was hounded out of succession for Speaker because of his extramarital affair, which Larry Flynt brought to light with the House vote on impeachment looming.
Newt fired himself as Speaker days after the disastrous November 1998 election left the GOP with a sliver-thin majority, almost completely undoing the gains made by Republicans after Newt's popular "Contract With America." He had already been weakened by the 1996 not-quite-censure and $300,000 fine he was assessed for ethics violations.
Rumors of his previous adultery were well-known before his resignation, and while doubtless some knew of his diddling with a staffer, his leaving his wife for her had nothing to do with his demise.
If you think its OK to appoint a man who has orchestrated the mass export of abortion as national security foreign policy, resulting in literally millions of innocents being ripped from their mother's wombs worldwide, to any post whatsoever in a pro-life Republican president's administration, that is your opinion, to which you are entitled.
But even if your standards have fallen this low, don't expect conservatives to stay silent over this travesty.
So you had no problem with Clinton's antics. I see.
