Craigslist pranksters put out call for Gingrich staffers

Newt Gingrich’s entire campaign staff may have resigned, but the former Speaker of the House isn’t giving up the fight. Much like his candidacy announcement via Twitter, Gingrich is proving he can depend on the Internet to help him fight on.

“I am committed to running the substantive, solutions-oriented campaign I set out to run earlier this spring. The campaign begins anew Sunday in Los Angeles,” wrote Gingrich on his Facebook wall shortly after the news broke.

What’s more, he also posted a Craigslist ad, looking for a fresh campaign team.

J/k! The Internet’s actually really letting Gingrich down.

The ad, written less than an hour after news of the exodus broke, is obviously a spoof. According to the ad, the qualifications for the jobs include narcissism, insouciance, patience, and “dramatic” writing skills.
