Missed this one but OMG, is this unbelievably funny or what? Also unbelievably pathetic. Do his constituents know how dumb Louie G really is? Monica Crowley & Hannity who appear in the clip – OK, they’re paid shills and it is what it is. But Gohmert is involved in passing legislation and the guy is simply dumb, stupid, a mar-oooon.
Oh that I could be a writer on Colbert’s show!! What a job…go to work everyday to laugh your ass off at the experiment-gone-wrong that is our daily life! BTW..the only thing dumber than Gohmert is the constituents that elected him….and therein lies the rub.
John Canddidy: Politicians, contrary to official civics-lessons democratic theory (do they still bother to teach “civics”?) are also paid shills (think “campaign contributions” and other bribe-like payments),
Be nice to get the big money out of politics, more and more clearly every year, but in recent years, all the progress has been in the other direction. See my essay money-in-politics-should-be-political-issue-number-1-for-everyone.
