Did anyone see the pathetic tribute to Breitbart on the house floor by TX Rep Louie Gohmert?

It was truly one of the strangest 15 minutes of video I have ever seen in my life. Gohmert is not sane.

here's the link:

1. 15 minutes!!

Are they ordering the flags lowered for that dufus too?

[Demonaut]

2. that guy is truly an idiot, I've not idea how he got so far in life

[Gato Moteado]

3. it was hilarious how he put that portrait of breitbart up next to him.....

....and went on about how he was such a great man, bla, bla, bla.....then segued into Adams and Lincoln and slavery and all kinds of other stuff before coming back around to breitbart. It was all so disconnected and schizophrenic.

9. He has a democratic opponent for november.

Shirley McKeller has filed against him. She is a smart, attractive AfroAmerican with a Doctorate. I understand he usually runs unopposed so he gets elected. Tyler Texas area has a large minority population with nobody on the ballot to vote for so maybe they will turn out for her and the President and we can get rid of Gomert once and for all. I wrote a check to her campaign last night.

4. He is the biggest fucking moron in Washington

truly. I went to a college graduation where he was downright disrespectful of the US Government and basically calling the graduates to overthrow the government (this was right after Obama was elected) and "take THEIR government" back. It was really offensive.

5. Are you serious?

What university was that? How did the students react?

[Horse with no Name]

7. It was a "friendly" university

University of Texas at Tyler...and yes, I am dead serious. It was disgusting.

[Gato Moteado]

13. Tyler is his home district.

They are like-minded, for the most part.

18. LOL...my coworker drives to Dallas from Tyler to work

I am going to have a blast giving him hell about Gohmert.He will,in turn, give me hell about Barton.
Shit.

16. UT Austin is friendly.

The UT regional institutions, not so much. They tend to take on the "color" of their local area.

6. Doesn't have a clue!

8. Louie is always good for comic relief

[madokie]

10. What a putz

[WhoIsNumberNone]

12. I can't listen to Pvt. Pyle for 15 minutes!

I got through maybe 3 minutes of that flat-earth bullshit and couldn't take it anymore.

Gohmert-Pyle is the biggest argument in favor of mandatory IQ tests for politicians!
And why is it that all the truly legendary intellects are Republicans? Gohmert-Pyle? Dan Quayle? Sarah Palin? W? Did we ever get someone this stupid elected?

14. Pefect. Breitbart's legacy having had Gomer read his eulogy. I love it.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

15. I call him Goomer the Tumor.

He represents the Congressional District north of mine.
I am unfortunately represented (Not represented at all, actually) by Joe Barton. The guy who apologized to British Petroleum for having hearings.

He represents oil companies, not people.

17. As a Texas Democrat, I have to say...

There ARE Democrats in Gohmert's district...unfortunately,he also represents some of the largest centers of hate groups in Texas.according to Southern Poverty Law Center.
If you dare,He features this tribute on his home page
