Republican House Speaker John Boehner opened himself up to a social media prank-off today when he tweeted his "5 Points for Resetting America's Economic Foundation." The problem? The tweet included a numbered list in which each item was left blank— and it was all easily tagged to Boehner's use of #5pts4jobs. The Twitter gaffe drew a bevy of digital mockery.
