He is also a very patient and honorable man. He endured 84 (eighty-four) meritless ethics charges in the House. All were dismissed. NOT ONE was upheld. Yet he volutarily paid a 300k reimbursement to the Ethics Committee and resigned for the good of the party.
He was subsequently totally exonerated of any wrongdoing by the House Ethics Committee, the IRS and a federal judge.
I feel like watching To Renew America again.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm amazed that people forget that Newt was responsible for the Republican take-over of congress after being in the desert for 40 years or so!
