It seems I went into video taping overdrive
after Republicans bitch slapped the Donks in the 1994 off-year
elections. Below are the December 4, 1994 Meet the Press, with
Speaker-Elect Newt., and clips from Rush's television show on Monday
the 5th. His last clip has Leon Panetta in full rant because Newt

memories here, not to mention more feckless charades by the
Clintons, who, speaking of temerity, think they deserve another chance
to destroy what they missed last time around.

drug testing was set up as a compromise. The program applied
to 21 employees, and the White House says those currently involved
do not include any senior staff members.

When Newt Gingrich raised concerns about White House passes
and drug use in 1994, White House Chief of Staff Leon Pannetta [sic] reacted
angrily: “These are reckless charges made. Reckless accusations
that impugn people’s integrity. No evidence. No facts. No foundation.
Just basically smear and innuendo. The kind of thing that we rejected
in this country a long time ago.” On Friday a group of Republican
Congressmen wrote Mr. Panetta asking whether he’d like to revise
these remarks. ... [Insecure White House, WSJ, JULY 22, 1996]
