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.
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
②
③
④
⑤

I really don’t understand how these intertubes work #ImARepublican
That poor, poor intern that sent that out.
I don’t know the difference between mockery and trolling. #IWorkAtTPM
