Republican Congressman Insults Nancy Pelosis Appearance: Theres No Facelift With John Boehner
By Scott Keyes on Jan 5, 2013 at 8:30 am
An outspoken Republican congressman castigated House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosis looks during a radio interview Friday.
Speaking with guest host Larry OConnor on the Dennis Miller Show, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) argued that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was functionally equivalent to Pelosi because both held one-on-one backroom negotiations with the president. Gohmert then went on to deride Pelosis appearance: Well, lets give him credit. Theres no facelift with John Boehner.
OCONNOR: So basically John Boehner became Nancy Pelosi without the charm?
GOHMERT: For the last two years. Well, lets give him credit. Theres no facelift with John Boehner. He is who he is.
OCONNOR: Oh!

OCONNOR: Oh!
Listen to it @ link~
Gohmert is no stranger to outlandish statements. He co-sponsored a birther bill soon after President Obama took office, wants to shut down the entire federal government, and recently pushed a pet theory that President Obama helped oust ex-Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi so that al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood could take over Libya.

I'd like to see a combination of the women in the House and the Senate giving a quick smackdown on Gohmert and move on.

you'd think he'd be a little leery of shutting the whole thing down...

Sadly, he's from my neck of the woods.
