CBS radio nearly did. After we were told that Wright was ousted partly due to the efforts of congressman Newt Gingrich, we were told that Gingrich himself left office nearly a decade later with ethics problems of his own. Pretty gratuitous reference there.

Too bad it took so long.

Must have been living well on those “book royalties”.

I lived in Ft. Worth when Jim Wright was House speaker...

I will not speak ill of the dead...

I'd just agree with some of the other comments...
