I was very annoyed when I heard what our new Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and his mother said about our first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton. I think they should both apologize to her, and she is very gracious to invite them to the White House after their rude remark. She is a lady in every sense of the word.

Newt Gingrich has got off to a bad start, first with his welfare reforms wanting to put children from welfare homes in orphanages and now this.

I think he had better tone down his radical ideas and be more conservative in his views. Patricia Beach Lambert Lake
