Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, perhaps the dumbest mammal to enter a legislative chamber since Caligula's horse, and Gohmert's only the half of that, pretty much got pantsed in front of the world yesterday by Eric Holder who, while I still think he should resign, seems to be getting pleasantly fed up with the denizens of the Republican monkeyhouse. By the end of it, Gohmert was hollering incoherently, and the committee chairman, Bob Goodlatte (R-Venti) looked like he would liked have very much to have Gohmert sedated and sent to a quiet farm in Alberta for a few years.
Anyway, watch it for yourself. You can watch it here, on Louie's own website. He's very proud that he left the committee room, pantsless.
71 percent of the vote last time out.
Wow.
