The former Speaker of the House tweets his American Solutions to the Somalia pirate standoff:

The correct answer to piracy is to destroy it not negotiate with it Seals can retake the lifeboat Track every boat leaving somalia

Later…

Under no circumstance should any boat carrying hostages be allowed to reach somalia Pirates are “outside the law” and a threat to everyone

This is really starting to distract from the Tea Parties.

Obama made Newt and the rest of the Conservatives look like complete idiots. If Newt was President, Phillips would not have survived. Now we have three dead Pirates, one captured and Phillips safe and sound.

Conservatives are disappointed with this outcome.

To all the Republicans/Conservatives, (in the voice of that Simpson character) aha! I know the hostage situation did not turn out the way some of you would have liked (with Barack failing). Words of advice: don't bet against America.

pl,

Words that qualify a noun are adjectives. Unlike Republican, Democrat is not both a noun and an adjective. Democrat is only a noun. The grammatically correct term is 'Democratic president'.
