Gohmert IRS speech veers into rant about owls mating ‘like crazy’ on Kmart signs
Source: Raw Story
During a Thursday House floor speech about the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) practice of scrutinizing conservative groups, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) connected the so-called scandal to the idea that owls could mate on Kmart signs.
As he was going through a list of tea party groups that were targeted by the IRS, Gohmert noted that some “left-wing drone organization” — like Raw Story — had published his assertion last week that the agency would have “shot the Boston Tea Party participants.”
“I was tickled last week, some left-wing drone organization — drone basically being unnamed, they’re not using the brains, they’re just doing as they’re directed — came after me for for saying here on the floor, gee, the IRS might have shot the original Tea Party participants.”
“Well, obviously that’s hyperbole, but I’ve found in Washington, if you use sarcasm, you speak metaphorically, allegorically, use hyperbole, that it’s often lost here,” he lamented.

People actually voted for this man. 
'hyper-bowl'. 
Louie is still charter member material for the Dunce-of-the-month Club. Damned few are more qualified to set the standard! 
get his "sarcasm" and evolved sense of humor!
Hoping I'm as least as savvy as Gomer! 
Next he'll be saying somebody took his strawberries. 
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) often offers creative explanations for his positions — for example, he opposes protecting LGBT people from employment discrimination because such protections are part of a “war on religion.” During a conference call interview today with noted homophobe Rick Scarborough about his new organization, Tea Party Unity, Gohmert explained that he opposes gun control legislation because it has the same kind of slippery slope as same-sex marriage:
And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten, then why would you draw the line at ten? What’s wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit ; it’s kind of like marriage when you say it’s not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal?
There is no clear place to draw the line once you eliminate the traditional marriage and it’s the same once you start putting limits on what guns can be used, then it’s just really easy to have laws that make them all illegal.

I know, I have been saying since Nixon that no Republican can be worse.
