He also spearheaded the Clinton impeachment over the blow job while Newt was cheating on his wife who was in the hospital for cancer. He was reprimanded for lying to the house ethics committee (84 ethics charges) for his use of using tax exempt education foundations for hyper partisan political goals (fake right wing college courses) which made him the 1st speaker in history disciplined for ethical wrong doing, he ultimately resigned in disgrace

Jeezus... So a good chunk of the conservative playbook is attributed to this piece of shit?

How the hell is he still in politics?!? Honestly shouldn't be surprised...

He hasn't been involved in politics for a long time because of the aforementioned disgrace

This depends on how you define "involved in politics"
He's been aggressively involved in politics "from the outside"—as in, he hasn't held office (the point I believe you're making), but he's absolutely been present in political commentating, consulting, publishing, and the like

He hasn’t held an office since 99’, that’s what they mean by outside.
