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. 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.

Laughably inaccurate. I was there and I watched it happen. You're right, ez. The coup against the Speaker started in Lindsey Graham's office.
