then wright said "it's a ploy wholly uncharacteristic of bob." ominously, however, wright said after apologizing for his own party in the attempted coup, "michael put us on notice that we no longer can rely on any gentleman's agreement that has prevailed through my 30 years in congress." and i do think the leadership is more complicit in gingrich's rise during these years, culminating with wright's downfall, which they do participate in than we think. and just on the language, he is total -- we're in agreement, he is -- it's not legislation he really cares about in those years. it's not committee work. and it's not even party unity yet. it's about introducing this new language of politics and using all these techniques that were on the margins as kind of weapons to be deployed in going after the democrats. >> yeah, just very quickly, just to flesh out the point about the language. i mean, i think one of the goals was to give people an alternative to vote for that was a positive, that was framed positively. so, frank luntz recommended talking abou
