Just heard this on MSNBC as they were overcommenting during the Speaker Voice Vote:

Louie Gohmert (R-Insanistan) voted for the recently booted Allen West for Speaker of the House.

Words fail.

1. the constitution is silent on whether the speaker needs to also be a member.

although it would be a first.

2. Crazy people voting for crazy people.

[Ikonoklast]

3. How would you like to attend one of Gohmert's constituent meetings in his home district?

Now *there's* some real nutters, they keep voting for a lunatic.

They make crazy people look sane.

4. The Baggers just shot themselves in the foot big time.

They threatened a coup and did not follow through. they did not get the measley 17 votes they needed.

5. (R - Insanistan)

6. Batman?

No, wait. That's Adam West. Shit.

7. Goomer the Tumor defines "new frontiers in nuttiness"

I'm not in his district, but I'm five miles from the county line of his district.

My Congresscritter is Joe Barton (YUCK!) He's an oil company prostitute.

8. His constituents will love him for it

and teabaggers will send him $$$

9. Sometimes, when words fail, belly laughs take over. nt
