What a gang of high end supporters for Newt. "Duke" Cunningham (nicknamed after John Wayne) doing 8 years in prison. Along with 80% of his fellow California prisoners, whom we must assume are mostly Cripps, Bloods, MS13 and the Aryan Brotherhood. There is Bill McCullum who you may remember as the House legal manager for the Clinton Impeachment – and the guy whose HR Bill 666 changed the 4th Amendment of the Constitution from "probable cause" to "Good Faith of the Police" in search warrants which has about doubled our prison population. Sarah Palin who came out of retirement in sunny Bimbolandia. And not to forget his seldom mentioned only friend. Bob "the Boob" Walker. Old Blubber Lips himself!
Back before Newt became Speaker of the House he made a name for himself using SPECIAL SESSIONS in the House after the CSPAN cameras began covering it. He and his crew would ramble on about the evil liberal Democrats for hours a day to an empty chamber that viewers did not know was empty. Finally CSPAN cameras were required to pan the room every few minutes to show the vast emptiness of all concerned. The other members of Newt’s gang of nasties were: B1 Bob Dornan, Bob Walker, Dana Rohrabacher and not to forget the intellectual of the House, Sonny Bono (before he was killed by a tree.)
More than anything it was CSPAN that gave us Newt Gingrich.
