Louie Gohmert Calls John McCain 'Numbnuts' Over Huma Abedin Defense
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/25/louie-gohmert-john-mccain_n_1700448.html?utm_hp_ref=canada&ir=Canada
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) fired back at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday, calling the senator and some of his colleagues "numbnuts" for criticizing the Tea Party-affiliated congressman's recent allegations that a top Hillary Clinton aide has Islamist ties.
Gohmert, along with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and three other GOP congressmen, recently signed letters insinuating that Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin is affiliated with the controversial Muslim Brotherhood organization through her family. The claims have been widely condemned by members of the Republican party, including House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), and McCain.
During an appearance on "The Dennis Miller Show" radio program, Gohmert vehemently defended the letters:
"Well, its obvious that John McCain didnt even read the letter because of what he said in accusing Michele and us of making these 'horrible' allegations. There were five letters and there were many things that are stated that are facts in each letter. And I wish some of these numbnuts would go out and read the letter before they make these horrible allegations about the 'horrible' accusations we're making. But we also know that John McCain himself had said back in the early stages of stuff going on in Egypt that he was, in his words, 'unalterably opposed to helping the Muslim Brotherhood.' Well, obviously the unalterable person has been altered, so he's okay with it now."

We are now at a point where a guy like this is a popular figure and gets elected to Congress BECAUSE he is stupid, not in spite of it.
