Former Speaker of the House (and paragon of family values) Newt Gingrich (r – who me?) posted about Roy Blunt (r – lobbyists) last week via Twitter:
I’ll be in Missouri on Thursday to support Roy Blunt for U.S. Senate. He’ll be a terrific Senator. Follow him @RoyBlunt 4:58 PM Sep 22nd from TwitterBerry
Roy Blunt (r – lobbyists) appeared to enthusiastically respond:
Thanks Newt. RT @newtgingrich I’ll be in Missouri on Thursday to support Roy Blunt for U.S. Senate. He’ll be a terrific Senator. 10:01 AM Sep 24th from mobile web

It can’t be about being an effective politician.
It must be about piling up those “family values” endorsements. Or irony impairment with overly dramatic music.
