Why do the GOPs continue to call Newt "Mr. Speaker?" He is not Speaker of the House, he is a former Speaker of the House who was forced to resign because his own party would not support him.

He violated tax law (a felony) and lied to the House panel investigating him. He also had a hard time knowing the difference between campaign funds and his own money. He was an embarrassment to the nation and his party.
I notice that GOPs will not offer the same honorific to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who completed her time in the Speaker's chair without committing felonies and ethical lapses. But she did commit the unforgivable sin of being female, moderate and a Democrat.
