People bought into that stupid term limits crap, which Netherbutt promptly weasled out of when his time was up. What a creep he was, too. Screwed people I know out of inheritances when he was an attorney, never met with constituents unless they were financial supporters, etc. Foley wouldn't have been Speaker anymore anyway, as the Repubs took control of the House that year, so perhaps it worked out better for him.
