America's Dumbest Congressman melting down before our eyes

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/04/30/1205933/-America-s-Dumbest-Congressman-melting-down-before-our-eyes

Look, this isn't even funny at this point. We need an intervention. Somebody help this man:

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)—who has spent the weeks following the bombing arguing that Obama’s “political correctness” prevented the FBI from stopping the attacks—appeared on the Glenn Beck radio show to argue that Holder’s history of defending terrorists allowed the judge to Mirandize Tsarnaev:

GOHMERT: Think about it, when your attorney general spent more of his legal career helping terrorists than defending the country, then you know we all have certain biases and lean certain ways.

Gohmert then went on to reiterate his belief that the Obama administration is guided by the Muslim Brotherhood. “[The administration] know who’s in there advising them,” Gohmert said, “either they lie under oath or they do know the extent of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into our government.”

Gohmert, or the Texans who voted for him. (I know it's not all Texans, I'm only besmirching the ones who actually vote for this dumbass)

The Texas delegation, for the most part, is an American embarrassment.

Did not vote for him. He makes Texas look bad! The dumb shit that comes out of his mouth is beyond words.

Those two are neck and neck for the title and they are both from Texas. I don't think there's any coincidence there. Look at their senators to figure out why.

I'm not in his district, but my worthless waste-o'skin in the House is Joe Barton. Just as bad.



I didn't vote for him. I have NEVER voted for a Republican politician in my entire life. Republican judges, yes, but NOT a Republican politician. Talk about taxation without representation.

I got a governor and two senators and a congresscritter I didn't vote for. Been this way ever since Ann Richards was beaten in 1995.

That's who I'm stuck with. Too many Texan's with an IQ I can count on my digits.
