“he craves respect”
I vaguely remember some story about him flying in the back of Air Force One (when Slick Willie was roosting in it) and Newt took umbrage because he thought he deserved better.
They tossed him some sort of bone and he exited the plane wagging his tail.
And you are repeating vaguely-remembered leftist propaganda here on FR why exactly?
Do you think Pelosi cares? First off she knows nothing will get done. Second, it isn’t about ethics, it is about the country hearing about Newt, again.
Pelosi will declare that she had no knowledge of this. Congressional Republicans will make a stink, the media will ask why Republicans don’t want all the information to come out....
Well you get the picture. Meanwhile the MSM will crucift Newt.
Here is a question, if the Republican candidates are so bad, why are the left trying to destroy them? If anything, they told the American people, Mitt is the only candidate the left thinks it can beat.
When you are speaker of the house you are two bullets away from being president - you damn sure do deserve respect and he should have gotten it.
