Who do you want as Speaker?

Posted on Wed Jan 02 2013 18:01:23 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) by ConservativeMan55

If John B's out then ANYONE could become Speaker of the House.

How about Col. Allen West?

Or.. a more serious possibility.. Rep Louie Gohmert??



Where do we call to lobby the voters???

We could freep them!

1. They'd have to change their own rules to make Louie the Speaker of the House.

As it is, he's only allowed to speak after 11pm when everyone else has gone home for the night.

[hobbit709]

43. Loony Louie would be perfect. Since they're full of crazy ideas, why not have the craziest one lead.

[blogslut]

2. Allen West?

Oh, that's funny!

[dballance]

23. Apparently they seemed to have forgotten West LOST

Thankfully he won't be back in the 113th Congress' do-nothing House.

Yes, I know, theoretically there is nothing that says the speaker has to be a member of the House. But there are far too many members who want the gavel (if not in the next congress then some time later) to ever let that happen. They wouldn't want to set that precedent.

3. "How about Col. Allen West?"

In Empty Chair land? Alice in Wonderland land?

[Motown_Johnny]

20. Wouldn't Clint Eastwood just end up yelling at him?

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Either him or McLame.

[JaneyVee]

4. That place is like a parody of what Liberals believe conservatives are...

Until you realize its not a parody and they are exactly who we thought they were.

[pinboy3niner]

5. Somebody's one toke over the line, Sweet Jesus...

...one toke over the line.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. OMG you made me find this

[jberryhill]

9. No, this is FR, you want this one:

[BumRushDaShow]

14. LOL @ Lawrence Welk

[dflprincess]

16. OMG do you suppose anyone every clued the singers or Welk in?

I might have to paste this to my FB page.

[octoberlib]

24. Haha!

[truebluegreen]

25. That is....surreal.

[TDale313]

33. That'd be the word for it.

Wow, just wow.

[xfundy]

29. Thank you FOREVER for that.

FOREVER. Mean it.

[jberryhill]

30. A gem that one is

[jberryhill]

41. Quick the antidote!

Olsen twins to the rescue

[catbyte]

36. Hilarious, jberry. Thanks for the laugh.

[JustJoe]

38. Welk was a well-known stoner.

Holding it in, he cracked us up many times with,
"Somebody turn off da bubble machine!"

[Manifestor_of_Light]

39. Almost as good as Lou Reed & VU on Lawrence Welk.

You can't see them, but they are singing "I am searching for my mainline" about the joys of heroin addiction. The song is called Sister Ray.

[napkinz]

42. Welk after the performance: "There you've heard a modern spiritual by Gail and Dale"

[AngryOldDem]

46. Win!

Thanks! I needed that! As I head off to another shit day at work, just the laugh I needed!

[pinboy3niner]

12. Yep, that's the "modern day spiritual" I had in mind, lol

Thanks for that. Those notes on the Welk appearance--and jberryhill's video--are hilarious!

[rbrnmw]

34. freepers are too mean to be

one toke over the line

[octoberlib]

6. Or Ted Nugent? Maybe bring back Gingrich?

But no, he's the Kim Kardashian of Conservatives! That thread is hilarious.

[RomneyLies]

7. OHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASE!!!!!1!

Man, nothing at all would be done, and the consequences of Gohmert as Speaker would make that old Will Farrell skit of Bush after he was elected look optimistic, but nothing else would guarantee the GOP to be completely destroyed forever than for Gohmert to become Speaker.

Voice of Advisor: Mr. President!

President George W. Bush: ( peeks out from under his desk ) No! I don't want to go out, it's too hard!

Voice of Advisor: You're on, Sir!

President George W. Bush: Awww.. ( jumps up and takes his seat ) Hey, America! So, how we all doing out there, huh? Yeah, not so good. I broke the Hoover Dam.. we had that war thing happen. But I mean, who ever heard of a Civil War, anyway? What is that? ( grabs a pair of binoculars, unscrews the lens, then pours alcohol from it into his mouth ) I have missed you, ol' buddy! ( pours it into his barbecue grill ) Whoo! I think we can agree, Americans, that these have been a difficult first two years of my presidency..

Voice of Advisor: You've been President for two weeks!

President George W. Bush: Really? Oh, man! I told you, this is hard! Okay, listen.. I'm just gonna get this Address thing over with. As we assess the State of the American Union today, we have reason to hope, because.. ( takes out a map which shows California and Florida as islands, Texas in Communist Mexico, and the Great Lakes on fire ) Holy crap! When did all this happen?! Wow.. the Great Lakes are on fire - even I know that's not good. ( laughs ) Okay, America, we got a lot of problems. I ain't gonna lie to you. But with the help of Vice-President Dick Cheney..

Voice of Advisor: You killed him in a hunting accident!

Sorry, even Will Farrell makes Dubya look smarter than Gohmert ever could be.

[tjwash]

10. He looks like the guy that approves my check at the grocery store

Although hearing some of the freeps on that thread derp that they want palin as house speaker is pretty funny, albeit a stupid statement even for the denizens of that website.

[LeftInTX]

15. Can Gohmert even read a check?

[RomneyLies]

18. They've gone a little silly since they learned there is no requirement that...

the Speaker be an elected member of Congress.

Even tough there has never been a Speaker who is not an elected member of Congress.

[Enrique]

11. wow feel the Gohmertum!

[LeftInTX]

13. Facebook page dedicated to the one they love

This is for citizens by citizens who stand behind one of the strongest Conservatives in Congress to be elected speaker in 2013. We need a speaker who speaks for us.

17. "I want to nominate

people who aren't members of the House anymore because I want people that are as batshit crazy as I am running things, and I am divorced from reality enough to believe that it could happen."

[jberryhill]

19. "I'm unanimous on that" in response to Bachmann

Good golly, the dude polled his multiple personalities.

[pinboy3niner]

26. He may be of two or more minds on that...

...but at least they agree!1!!

[flying rabbit]

21. Sarah cuda getting much love over there.

[longship]

27. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha! Alan West!!!!

The guy who won't be in Congress because he lost his seat?

God!!! Those Freepers are ignorant!

What idiocy! No wonder they are losing.

[condoleeza]

28. Well, I read enough on that link and I'm just speechless, You can't fix stupid

These people still think SPalin is a human being.

[WillyT]

31. The PERFECT HEAD... Of The Modern GOP !!!!

Empty... and therefore, perfect.

And this guy was a judge.

[SEMOVoter]

32. Louie Louie lol

I hurt myself thinking about this.

[TheKentuckian]

35. Gohmert and Bachman the prevailing opinions

Sanity is in short supply over there.

[Blue Owl]

37. Photo Caption: Gomert's Pile o' Pity

n/t

[Fawke Em]

40. What the...

[JHB]

44. They keep forgetting Cap's a liberal.

[Rob H.]

48. Instead of vibranium, her shield is made of moronium (moranium?)

which makes conservatives hear complete sentences and rational speech come out of her mouth whenever she talks, instead of the batshit insane word-salad that the rest of us have to suffer through.

And if there's going to be a female version of Captain America, my vote goes to Alison Brie of 'Community' (the costume is a little too cheesecakey, though, imo, what with the bare midriff):

[madokie]

45. I vote for louie

for comic relief if for no other reason.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

47. Okay, pleading ignorance for a minute, but who the hell is this? And what crawled on his head?

That's someserious Jim Traficant hair there!
