Democrats prefer to remember the 1988 investigation of House Speaker Jim Wright, whose chief accuser was Gingrich. Then too the ethics committee dismissed nearly all complaints against Wright but asked for a special counsel to investigate the remaining one.

But knowing that voter sentiment can reverse itself in Israel almost overnight, the acting Prime Minister seems to prefer giving himself the full year to negotiate a peace that will win at the polls...
