Three months after Republicans lost control in the halls of power, they have taken over an outlet of the Virgina pizza chain Pie-tanza for the first stop in their listening teaching tour of the country. They used the new setting to push warmed over ideas (no government healthcare, more tax cuts, etc. etc.) that the American public didn't bite on the last time the GOP served them up. Jeb Bush, the new face of the Republican party (who bears a striking similarity to its old head), offered up the only new idea, which Stewart and others noted did not sound very conservative or, ah, American.
