Pierce discusses other nutty Republican congresspeople as candidates "to replace Michele Bachmann as Royal Regent Of The Crazy People under the reign of Padishah Emperor For Life Louie Gohmert". Gohmert is worse than Bachmann.

If he becomes the speaker, we will know that the Republican Party has hit an all time low.

I should contact my local RWNJ congrel and encourage him to vote for Gohmert.

Thinking about it, I might not need to because he is probably already planning to do so.

I can't think of any other single thing that would kneecap the radical right wing faster than having this idiot in such a prominent position, spewing on a daily basis. Seriously, we need to get behind this.

Gohmert is 'a blithering idiot' - and even that is a mild description of the complete and total racist moron.

and if he is, given his atrocious amped hyperventilating over the migrant children (They will bring Ebola!), he would seem to have a lot of self-loathing going on.

Americans need to get a good dose of reality. They need to see just whom/what they're allowing to run this country. It's past time for the mask to come off.
