Gohmert says he may run for president...

... then says he won’t.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/237158-louie-gohmert-weighing-presidential-bid

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) sent mixed signals on his White House aspirations Thursday....

Gohmert indicated he could launch an exploratory committee for president when asked whether he would support Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) White House bid.

"Ted is a good friend and would be an outstanding President; however, I haven't ruled out an exploratory committee myself," Gohmert said in a statement emailed to The Hill from a spokeswoman....

“Washington D.C. contains too many who do not recognize statements made with a figurative tongue in cheek, sometimes known as being ironic,” the aide emailed to the Texas Tribune.

I used to be a real photoshopper.

Maybe I will. Gohmert, there's just no room in here. You'll have to ride on top!

Ann Richards was governor, and Molly Ivins was in her writing prime. My, how things have gone downhill.

And so the prospect of many hours of entertainment is cruelly snatched away almost as soon as it is presented.

Educated, but dump as a stump.

If you do not look EXACTLY like him

If you do not smell EXACTLY like him

he will hate you, because that is what an immature child does
