Newt stabbed himself in the back by not following the rules. He put his own self interests ahead of the Party and ahead of the American people. If he really did have the executive abilities that everyone demands of an executive leader, then he would have retained his Speaker position for at least another eight years. As we have already learned, being the smartest guy in the room does not directly translate into executive leadership competence.
Wrong. Newt was taken out by his own side in a cowardly act of media damage control after the left retaliated against him and Palinized him as payback for taking out Speaker Wright. Self-interests? Laughably inaccurate. I was there and I watched it happen.
