He's been pretty active lately, my guess is he's testing the waters and trying to put himself in a position to be a party leader again.

Whatever happened to him, anyway? I know he was driven out of his previous position of leadership by his own party, but I can't recall why, or by whom. Did the GOP moderates or the Neocons give him the sack? I know he was involved in some kind of minor marital scandal, but I don't think that's why he was squeezed out, and that's probably been long forgotten and forgiven anyway.

He's got the creds to be brought back into the party councils again, but I'm just wondering if his enemies still have the clout to keep him out, or if they are on the black list themselves these days.
