Much love to you, SCE. You give so many smiles and chuckles to us Sunday after Sunday.

We love you back. All week long. Anyway. But especially now. All our sympathies.

Welcome to DU, wheniwasincongress!

Glad you're here! Perhaps it's a reference (a rather INSULTING reference) to Patty Murray's original campaign for Senate - when she referred to herself as "a mom in tennis shoes." Cheesy jerk, that hagedorn putz. Long may he live in total and well-deserved obscurity.

Couldn't have said it better!

They're ALWAYS important to me. In ANY elections.

They're often the deal-breaker. You have to support a woman's right to choose for me to even consider voting for you. A woman's right to choose is an absolute. For me it's non-negotiable.

Aw damn... Omaha Steve. Love you so much. And love to Marta, too.

Oh man will we be sorry to see you step away. Damn. Just take this as an outward sign of how much you're loved around here! Damn. I'm actually getting teary-eyed while I'm writing this damn post. Damn. I've thoroughly enjoyed following your exploits and reading your posts. Relished replying to a number of them, for a long time, here.

You'll be so missed. I hope it's awhile before you have to leave.

Welcome to DU, KJG52!

Glad you're here! Sometimes we debate the loftiest of topics. Sometimes we dig down into, and meticulously dissect world-class issues and problems and predicaments. And then sometimes there's louie gohmert.

In every punchbowl there could very well float a turd.

Unless you're of like "mind"...

And I use the word "mind" with reservations.

Furthermore, whenever I see politicians like him, it's not just his own demonstrable lack of intelligence or reasoning or logic or rational thinking, it's the voters back home who somehow, inexplicably, saw fit to elevate him to Congress. And they elevated him to Congress from a position as a JUDGE. CRIMINY!!!! A JUDGE????? Good GRIEF!!! Would you even want this guy judging a pie-eating contest?

Another DUzy! Grizzly but hey, whatever!

Maybe this one's a DEEEUUUUUUWWW-zy...

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

That side GOES AFTER people. Bloodthirsty they are.

And it does sound like a threat he's making. Subtle, but very much there.

If I were on that grand jury, it would leave me feeling most disquieted hearing that from my governor - who's already on record (his followers too - and he's done nothing to discourage that) to demean and attempt to diminish and otherwise cast aspersions on the grand jury.
