REMEMBERING NEWT: 1994

Since last Tuesday's election, there's been much speculation about what the Democrats would do with their newfound power in the House and Senate. In the days leading up to the election, many Republican pundits warned the American people that a Democratic win could lead to endless investigations of the Bush Administration.

I wonder where they got this paranoia of a party "coming to power" and exacting revenge? Hmmmm, maybe this news piece about the Republicans' sweeping victory in 1994 will shed some light. In it, the then newly-named Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich promised to:

"Spend the next 2 years investigating corruption in the Clinton Administration"

My guess is that if the Democrats take advantage like Newt and company did... they'll turn up more than just an Oval Office blow job.
