15TH & NEW YORK
WASHINGTON — Filmmaker Michael Pack says it was pure luck that in his project to chronicle six ordinary months in the life of then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, he turned up six extraordinary ones.
After the Republicans lost several seats in the 1998 elections, Gingrich goes on camera to accept his share of the blame, but even in the walk to the interview room, he tries to cast the losses in the best possible light, explaining to his advisers that most GOP incumbents were victorious.
Throughout the film, Pack reveals the fierce rivalry between Gingrich and Clinton, whom, the speaker says, he found "routinely unreliable."
Gingrich's slide captured in film
When Pack's cameras started following the Georgia Republican in September 1998 during a dinosaur bone search in Montana, the intent was to contrast this moment of relaxation with an otherwise hectic schedule.
Gungrich even concedes conviction in the Senate probably wouldn't have been the correct response to the allegations. Such doubts could have been a prime weapon for Clinton defenders had they known about them at the time.
The Associated Press
Perhaps the documentary's most stunning revelation was the presence of cameras during sensitive closed-door leadership meetings, when Gingrich and his allies hash out how to punish a president for lying about a sex act under oath.
"The way Starr wrote the report was much too sex-oriented, and not legally oriented enough," Gingrich said. "On the other hand, do you believe the American people ought to have the right to have information about their government?"
In an interview with Pack the following March — after Clinton's impeachment and Gingrich's resignation under fire — the former House speaker seems to criticize independent counsel Kenneth Starr's graphic report to Congress.
It's tough to tell who got the better end of a pre-taping arrangement: Pack's behind-the-scenes access to fascinating political theater or Gingrich's assurance the footage wouldn't be made public until well after the fact.
Little did he know how vivid the contrast would turn out to be. Soon, the House would ponder whether to impeach President Clinton, and Gingrich's grasp on one of the country's most powerful posts would unravel in lightning speed. Pack's 90-minute retelling, "The Fall of Newt Gingrich," airs at 7 p.m. on PBS stations.
