http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/06/12/1099460/-Rep-Louis-Gohmert-still-trying-super-hard-for-Stupidest-Member-of-Congress-Award"Courtesy of Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, always working so hard for the Stupidest Member of Congress Award, so coveted among his fellow Republicans, we have a new conspiracy theory. And it's a good one. Forget birthers; here come crashers.
While appearing on a radio program, Gohmert launched into an attack on Attorney General Eric Holder, as well as all members of the Obama administration in general, for being "not honorable, honest people" who are "not the kind of people you want heading up the country." Then, for good measure, Gohmert offered his expert medical opinion on Commerce Secretary John Bryson, who suffered a seizure on Saturday connected to two traffic accidents:
You got Bryson out in California. It's really unusual to have a seizure to cause you to have one wreck and then cause you to put your car in gear and keep going until you have another wreck. That kind of seizure is really unusual. Yet that's who's in charge of keeping businesses going, a guy that crashes his car from car to car."
snip
"Say this for Gohmert: Even when he's leading in the Stupidest Member race, he never ever takes his all-but-assured first place for granted. He's a real overachiever, that one."

is being able to turn on C-span without seeing Gohmert hogging the camera. Dude is a lightbulb with no filament.
