You can't win without luck.

Those two were true adversaries who wouldn't piss on each other if either were on fire. Remember that story that allegedly the chief for Newt running one of the government shutdowns was because Clinton made him sit at the back of Air Force One?

Anyway I also remember that anecdote that Clinton purposely copied the argumentative rhetoric* used in his Impeachment trial from Newt's divorce case, just to stick it him.

*=If you must know but I'm warning you, it's disgusting: Bubba (and Newt previously) argued that they didn't actually commit adultery in the "biblical sense" with their respective mistresses because neither internally ejaculated. I told you it was gross. It certainly explains Monica's dress "stain."

I would also blame it on Arnold Schwarzenegger, who's actually Austrian but I disgress.
