Saturday Thread: Newt, the Funny Years

When Newt Gingrich claimed that his Freddie Mac contract was a way for him to warn them of the housing crisis, my mind turned to parody. The results are here. But the story of the mid-day is clearly the memo/pitch from Clark, Lytle, Geduldig, Cranford, offering a $850,000 action plan up to bankers to destroy Occupy Wall Street.

Sweet, sweet irony.
