• December 1 -- "Rising Incivility" in Congress: Blame Gingrich
Sheryl Gay Stolberg laments "Rising Incivility on Capitol Hill" and finds that it's (of course) Newt Gingrich's fault: "The old social order of the House was overturned in 1994, when Republicans, led by Representative Newt Gingrich of Georgia, wrested control of the chamber from Democrats after 40 years....the tensions spread to the Senate as House members trained in Mr. Gingrich's bare-knuckles style won election there."

• July 7 -- Democrats Are Too Good for the World
James Traub writes: “Maybe Democrats are just nicer, but a more philosophical view is that liberals are committed to, are in fact bedeviled by, ideals about process that do not much preoccupy conservatives, at least contemporary ones. Liberals put their faith in such content-neutral principles as free speech, due process, participatory democracy. Is that too lofty?” Ask a campus conservative about liberal love of free speech, or Robert Bork about liberal love of due process.

• April 24 -- Bitter Conservatives Attack…Colin Powell
The Times defends moderate Colin Powell and accuses former Speaker Newt Gingrich of a “savage attack against [George Bush Sr.] for raising taxes.”
