One of Gingrich's more unusual reform plans is to set up abroadcast booth in the speaker's officefor radio talk show hosts. Guess which kind? Clue: more than two-thirds of U.S. radio gabbers lean to the right. Gingrich will also host a monthly breakfast or lunch for favored talk show hosts from around the country, and he guarantees that at least 20 other members of Congress will show up. The motive, he told new GOP lawmakers, is pure soapbox: "We need you on that talk radio. We need you writing letters to the editor when you see some piece of nonsense being printed by whatever liberal publication you happen to get."
