Rep. Louie Gohmert keeps finding ways to make the blooper reel in the House of Representatives. From the Statesman Window on Washington blog (which seems to have replaced their Postcards From the Trail blog, seems Selby & Embry can't figure out something to write everyday, see how hard it is keeping you guys entertained?):
Responding to a proposal by Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass, that would have gutted a bill to lift the 25-year-old ban on offshore drilling along most of the coast, Gohmert said proposals to pursue new energy sources don't seem to do well in Massachusetts. Noting that plans to build wind power farms off the coast of Cape Cod have run into local opposition, Gohmert said he wasn't sure if the winds blew offshore or onshore,"I'm not sure if Massachusetts sucks or blows," Gohmert said.
One more way that even with Tom Delay gone, his legacy lives on through the sycophants he bought brought into office.
Honestly, we're stuck with him as long as the district looks the way it does. No Democrat is going to beat him in this district. The only Republican I think that has a chance at this time of beating him is Sen. Kevin Eltife and he'd probably get labeled too moderate by the party, plus I doubt he's interested. For those of us in East Texas, we'll just hope the district gets screwed up enough in 2011 to make it difficult for this idiot.
Isn't McConaughey from Longview?? Can't we get him to run?
McConaughey is still sleeping off the Rose Bowl drunk he got. Besides, you have to wear clothes and take baths to be a congressman. As a Republican voter, I would like Sandlin back.
To think that we are stuck with this 'tard for at least two more years is almost excruciating.
