Tan Man's Empty Jobs Plan Tweet

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/boehner-jobs-tweet-hijacked

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) invited an afternoon of mockery on Tuesday after he (or at least his staff) shot off a peculiar tweet about the GOP's jobs plan.

snip:

In a tweet linking to his "5 Points for Resetting America's Economic Foundation," Boehner ended up leaving the five bullet points blank, ready for any mischievous Twitter rascal to submit their own:

1. Weekly tanning maintenance.
2. Default on the debt.
3. Give Idiot Cruz my office.
4. Make staff roll his cigarettes as piece work.
5. Create a new Benghazi committee to oversee current Benghazi committee.

They should be careful when they use facts, facts are not Republican-friendly.
