Dick Armey used to be my congressman. When he left congress to make money, he tried to get his retard son elected in his place, but Dr. Michael Burgess defeated this effort. My guess is that Gingrich stepped all over Armey’s ego many times. But Armey was probably right to say that as speaker Newt lacked focus.

I don’t know too much about it. There was so much going on when they were in charge of the House. It seemed we were really going places as far as reform. Then all hell broke loose with the Monica/Clinton situation which lasted forever. I guess there were some problems with Newt involving Bill Paxon too, whose wife came out with an ad today that was anti-Newt. Everything fell apart. Armey said in this interview, when asked if Newt was blackmailed by Clinton, that it was more like they just bonded because of their affairs. It’s hard to believe that we have vote to let any of these people control our lives but that’s the way it is. Some people envision using a fireman’s hose to cleanse DC but it wouldn’t change a thing. It’s Rome. It would be better if all government was just state and run like Texas.
