found this on FB with this: "What doe the Obama got in its pocketses? Is it tiny Muslimses?

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
What does the Obama got in its pocketses?
Is it tiny Muslimses?

Look, this isn't even funny at this point. We need an intervention. Somebody help this man:

***

No, I mean it. Is there a number we should be calling? Can someone check for a medical alert bracelet? Because this poor man is seeing invisible Muslims everywhere, and in every federal department:

****

He's gone past the conspiracy tubthumping of Bachmann and King—he may have even lapped a few Alex Jones theories at this point. According to him, the entire government is just riddled with secret invisible Muslims. They're everywhere. They're hiding under his office chair, they're in his cereal, they're out in the parking lot right now, letting just a tiny bit of air out of his tires each day—oh, it's hard to notice at first, but you can tell. You can tell.

I realize America doesn't have high standards for electing congresspeople. Or, for that manner, any standards at all. I realize many voters in certain southern states have, in fact, a longstanding tradition of seeing just how dumb a man they might be able to elect to office, just to see what would happen. And I realize that the Republican Party has relied on the dangers posed by purely imaginary people of all colors and persuasions for nearly all of their major policy decisions, these last two decades. But this? This is a man past his breaking point. This is a man who's about three weeks from ripping out his own fillings, claiming invisible Muslims lived inside them and were reciting the collected works of Walt Whitman every night while he was trying to sleep. Help him.

1. We've seen something similar in the past

Senator Joe McCarthy thought there were communists in all government departments. Congressional hearings were held, by damn -- he was determined to ferret them all out. Well, a nut-job is a nut-job no matter what era or state of origin.
