Flashback to 1998. Heather Wilson had been in Congress for only a few months—she was in fact the lowest ranked person in the 435-member House—when she earned her 15-minutes of national fame by standing up before the body and railing like a banshee against Bill Clinton's private sex life. It was hard to forget, unfortunately, because the tirade was such an embarrassment, worse than Wilson's Janet Jackson meltdown even. But at the time, the congresswoman's episode sent a clear signal to Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay that she was there to be a loyal party follower. And she has been a loyal party follower ever since.
