Louie Gohmert Hints at Challenging Boehner For House Speaker. I say: " OH YES, please!"

[Mira]

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas has dropped a tantalizing hint that he's interested in taking over the pivotal position of House Speaker from John Boehner next year.

Asked Thursday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV whether he thought Boehner, an Ohio Republican, will retain his powerful seat on Capitol Hill, Gohmert replied: "It's never over till it's over."

First of all I wish this would come to pass because I am in need of laughs as this goes down and passes on. Not that I am in any way impressed with Boehner who dwells on the floor of my admiration scale, but Gohmert is below the floor looking through the cracks.

Let’s clue in Stephen Colbert about Gohmert’s intention and let the comedy begin.

Refresh your memory, and get a good laugh at what Stephen Colbert did to Gohmert a couple of weeks ago, or see it for the first time.

1. the gods of comedy demand you do it, Louie

[Mike Daniels]

2. Why do the most useless members of Congress (Bachmann, Gohmert, Braun, etc...)

Always have this overinflated sense of importance that leads them to think they are qualified to punch above their own weight (so to speak).

9. ... they managed to scam enough low-information-voters into voting for them in the first place ...

... so they start to believe their own PR & think they're actually capable.

13. All talk

They talked last time, after they lost seats but oo one challenged Boehner or McConnell. Why would they after a win? Being leader is too much work for a little shit like Louie.

3. It's just a conspiracy by CSPAN to skyrocket their ratings.

I'd certainly watch, even knowing that.

4. Yes, PLEEEZE.

[Orsino]

5. If only there would be a debate.

'Twould be fun to see Boehner try to decrypt Gohmert's language in time to rebut.

6. I'm thinking when LGohmert speaks

it's like someone stuffed hot potatoes in his mouth. And when I look at Boner, all I see is Sweet Potato.
Rubes. They have that in common.

7. I predict...

Full time employment for the cartoonists and comedians.

Run, Louie, run!

8. Help them, Louie Gohmert! You're their only hope.

10. I think they need an official House Doofus position and I know who could fill it. nt

12. I believe Monty Python described the competition for that postition:

15. That was very appropriate and funny as hell. thanks. nt.

11. The reality disconnect

lives large in Louie Gohmert. Run, Louie, run.
