Newt Gingrich: Some "Mr. Speaker" Indeed!

Have you noticed how virtually everbody from that dimwitted CNN moderator to the other Republican bozos running for the presidency persistently refer to Newt Gingrich as "Mr. Speaker?"
Well, I would remind those folks that:
1. Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Newt Gingrich during his term as speaker. After extensive investigation and negotiation by the House Ethics Committee, Gingrich was sanctioned $300,000 by a 395–28 House vote of his Republican colleagues as well as Democrats.  It was the first time in the entire history of the United States--208 years--that a speaker was disciplined for ethical wrongdoing.
2. Newt Gingrich hasn't been speaker of the House for over 13 years--since January 3, 1999.
3. Because of his ethical violations, and because he was held responsible for the loss of Republican seats in the 1998 election, Newt Gingrich was forced by a revolt among the members of his own Republican party to resign not only as Speaker of the House, but as a Member of the House of Representatives itself! 
Some "Mr. Speaker," indeed!  I suggest, "Mr. Unethical Speaker."
