...litany of his simple human mistakes of a sexual nature first detailed in Vanity Fair in September 1995. Otherwise, Gingrich went full bore, vowing at one point to "never again, as long as I am Speaker, make a speech without commenting" on the Monica mess and to start calling a crime a crime. Gingrich lieutenant majority whip Tom DeLay set up a Monica war room, the first place for the press to call to confirm when Monica delivered that fateful piece of pizza to the Oval Office or the date the fed-up Secret Service agent kept her waiting...

...Laurent Giroux, and his accomplice Lily St. Regent ("like the hotel, ya' know?"), played by Karen Byers-Blackwell, made a suitably contrasting couple as they scheme their way through the remainder of the show. Giroux demonstrates a wonderfully repulsive amount of sleaziness as well as a convincing rooster call, and Byers-Blackwell plays Lily as the domineering, long-legged, gum-chewing femme-fatal behind the plot to kidnap Annie...
