C&L brings you this CBS/NBC report from 1994. Gingrich went nuts over Clinton and his new-found subpoena power, yet if Democrats want to hold hearings on oversight and Iraq war profiteering that's supposed to hurt them.

Video-WMP Video-QT

Gingrich: I do not know of any administration in modern times with as many different potential scandals all around it.

Notice Newt's close ties to lobbyists…What other info sticks out for you?

2. He was better than his word
Republican Witch Hunts Against Clinton Cost $91.3 Million Over 12 Years

The investigation against former Clinton Housing Secretary Henry G. Cisneros didn't end until this year.

3. Had the DC Dems had the spine to do this (run on impeachment)
They could have surfed the anti-bush wave instead of just being washed up over the line by it.

If their "supply" doesn't meet "demand" pretty quickly, they'll be out of business in '08 once again.
