Dana Milbank's hilarious piece on Gohmert & the latest House Freak Show
http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/2026043-155/milbank-the-houses-latest-freak-showWASHINGTON — Let us cast no aspersions on Louie Gohmert’s asparagus.
"From a grass-roots perspective, this is probably the hottest issue we’ve mobilized on since Obamacare," Kibbe (FreedomWorks) told me.
When freak shows play in the House, would-be speaker Gohmert is usually in the cast. Arguing against gun control, he drew a link between gay marriage and bestiality. He has alleged that there are "so many Muslim Brotherhood members" in the Obama administration and that radical Islamist terrorists are being trained to "act like Hispanic" and cross the southern border. He has warned of terrorists sending pregnant women into America to give birth to "terror babies" who would have U.S. citizenship.
"I think Louie Gohmert would make a great speaker," Kibbe, the leader of the dump-Boehner movement, told me, "but I’m not sure that he gets there."
