Who knew Newt Gingrich had such a sense of humor?
Gingrich has released an 11-point plan aimed at keeping Republicans in power.

At first, I thought it was a serious plan written in a very serious tone...until I got to the punch lines:

7. Achieve Sustainable Energy Independence.

8. Control Spending and Balance the Budget.

Good one, Newt. You really had me going there. But nobody--nobody--will take you seriously if you think Republicans can suddenly make the last six years disappear and start advocating for energy independence and a balanced budget.

That's like Jeffrey Dahmer advocating for vegetarianism, or Sean Hannity advocating for humility, or George Bush advocating for a rigorous summer reading list. ("I read three Shakespeares...")

What kind of fools do you take the American people to be?

You're stuck with DUHbya and all his failed policies. Deal with it.

Here's the whole plan

1. First Goddamned Thing That Happened
was that skank MAnn Coulter's face popping up in a pop-up ad, upon my click on your link! It was a pimping ad for her latest hatefest book.

2. The Republicans in Congress have had 12 years to do these things.
Where have they been?

Crazy Newtie the hypocrite. Always good for a laugh - but not much else. (Remember giraffe hunting in the mud?)
