nothing personal newt but I feel obligated to tell my fellow man about your glib tongue and your lack of morals! I would hate to think anyone else would be taken like I was. you see I took a two week vacation hoping to see you in person as well as the Atlanta zoo. Well during that period we had federal shut down days! (so much for the indian museum) the spokesman for the zoo told me this : you asked if Newt might visit during your stay:"do you see any media or media cameras?) well if he were coming I would know of it and their are no media requests in the near future!" But what I did find were plenty of people that spoke ill of you! and as you well know you were voted out of office! House Reprimands, Penalizes Speaker By John E. Yang Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, January 22 1997; Page A01
The House voted overwhelmingly yesterday to reprimand House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and order him to pay an unprecedented $300,000 penalty, the first time in the House's 208-year history it has disciplined a speaker for ethical wrongdoing.
The ethics case and its resolution leave Gingrich with little leeway for future personal controversies, House Republicans said. Exactly one month before yesterday's vote, Gingrich admitted that he brought discredit to the House and broke its rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information.
"Newt has done some things that have embarrassed House Republicans and embarrassed the House," said Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.). "If see more of that, they will question our judgment."
House Democrats are likely to continue to press other ethics charges against Gingrich and the Internal Revenue Service is looking into matters related to the case that came to an end yesterday.
WHAT DO YA THINK DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS MAN SHOULD BE ELECTED?
