What happened in 1995?

Also, what do the grey lines (smudges) represent?

    Newt Gingrich happened. He introduced a brand of total war in politics that rejected all compromise.

    Gingrich deserves his place in the history books for accelerating the downfall of the American empire through needless and reckless infighting.

    Newt Gingrich

    Ah that name rings a bell, but nothing more. A quick read of his Wikipedia page is... eyebrow raising.

    I'd have assumed the Speaker is supposed to be nominally neutral. Harbinger of the death of your democracy he is.
