Newt Gingrich has proposed that his party change their name to Likud Party of America.
The move comes at a time when Gingrich is surging to a commanding lead in the race to lead the party in the 2012 elections, and the public seems willing to go for virtually anything that comes out of Gingrich's mouth. The LPA would continue its present policy commitments of creating more wealth for rich people while telling poor people to work harder and stop complaining.
Apparently the move comes as a result of the diminishing faculties of Gingrich's major donor, Sheldon Adelson. "Sheldon is not as sharp as he used to be and gets the checks mixed up sometimes" an anonymous insider revealed. "A million bucks intended for Netanyahu will end up with Newt's people or vice versa. It takes weeks of hassling with the banks to get it all straightened away. With the name change all he has to write in there is 'Likud' and there'll be no more confusion."
A spokesperson with the Romney campaign claimed that this is just more proof that with Newt, whoever waves the checkbook calls the tune.
