E. Texans hold 'town hall' without Gohmert

[TexasTowelie]

LONGVIEW -- Singer Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" greeted more than 120 progressive East Texans arriving Tuesday for a congressional town hall meeting that most seemed to understand their congressman would boycott.

"I always believed that listening to my constituents was the most basic and core tenet of the job I was hired to do," read a statement that Democratic former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords sent to meeting organizers.

Organizers said Tuesday that they first invited Tyler Republican U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert to the event in February.

Gohmert issued a statement last week that said, "I am not canceling prior commitments to attend whatever distraction this disruptive group scheduled."

1. The arrogance of Republicans

"I am not canceling prior commitments to attend whatever distraction this disruptive group scheduled." That "disruptive group" just happens to be his constituents.

compliments of Louie Gohmert, America's dumbest congressman.

4. The room would have been emptier if Louie had showed up.

I pulled some snails off my jalapeno plants this morning that have more intelligence than Gohmert does.

6. Here you go bad-mouthing snails.

They don't taste that bad when cooked in a buttery sauce. Can you say the same about Louis?

7. In my defense, the little bastards are eating holes in my jalapeno leaves.

And given their size, you'd need about 500 of them---and a ton of patience---to make an appetizer out of them.

But oddly enough, the notion of sautéing Gohmert in butter has a certain nasty charm to it. Clearly, I spend too much time around on-line political sites.......
