I think I’ll just leave this here:

Bachmann says the model laid out by former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) in his post-congressional life is a great example of what shed like to do: some time as a talking head, a position at a think tank (preferably having something to do with foreign policy), premium speaking fees and maybe a book or two. But its no easy task becoming the next Newt Gingrich. Just ask him.
