PRIZEWINNING WASHINGTON POST JOURNALISTS REVEAL HOW REALITY GAGGED THE GINGRICH REVOLUTION
Speaker Newt Gingrich and his troops promised a revolution when they seized power in January 1995. The year that followed was one of the most fascinating and tumultuous in modern American history.

Based on the award-winning Washington Post series that documented the Republicans' day-to-day attempts to revolutionize the American government, Tell Newt to Shut Up gets to the heart of the political process.
