"I thought it was when he failed to abolish the Dept of Education as he said he would in the Contract for America plans!"

The contract didn't say that.

100% of Newt's contract was kept.

The existance of fools who don't care to know historical facts (or any others) is the basis of our pathetic media.

And their bald faced lying is an example the weak-minded follow.

I also get steamed at these people who say Newt Gingrich is/was no leader -- they obviously have no idea how he managed to be in position to push his Contract With America ideas in the first place.

If it weren't for his ability to lead others, he would not have been elected Minority Whip to replace Dick Cheney when GHW Bush nominated Cheney to be SecDef, (and WHY that was possible as well), not to mention all those instructional tapes he sent out to prospective candidates for office when he was the head of GOPAC.

Rush has the right to be irritated, annoyed, even offended, I don't know how to properly portray his feelings, over Newt Gingrich's mis-characterization of something he was obviously ignorant on, but for people to then turn around and claim this is the final straw, well ... come on, already.
