| Description | Newt Gingrich on Tuesday night reminisced about his first State of the Union as Speaker of the House, saying with a laugh that President Bill Clinton jokingly offered a letter of resignation before quickly pulling it back.
“The first time he walked in and he handed me this envelope [containing the speech], and I opened it up and it said, ‘I resign, William Jefferson Clinton,’” Gingrich said with a smile on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.” ” And he said, ‘Oh, no, I wasn’t supposed to give you that, give it back to me,’ and that was the opening of the first State of the Union I did as Speaker of the House.”
Gingrich told the story of what happened in 1995 to illustrate his point that “Clinton was a totally different character. Clinton was fun.” |
