The best man to put Clinton in his deserved place would have been Newt.Yet, Newt, while Speaker of the House was out manuevered by Clinton at every turn. Newt's biggest accomplishement was the presenting of the "contract with America". The presenting, not the full enactment. Newt could not make any scandal, any corruption, any liberal 'spin' stick in the populace's conscoiusness. Newt's own flaws, own vanities made him ineffective as a Speaker of the House.
