This will be entertaining to watch . . . . let the Republican in-fighting begin!

“There have been numerous examples of problematic Republican leadership, but we were hopeful our leaders got the voters’ message,” he said. “However, after our speaker forced through the CRomnibus by passing it with Democratic votes and without time to read it, it seemed clear that we needed new leadership. There had been much discussion.”

So there was no time to read it but plenty of time for “much discussion.” And oh dear, "with Democratic votes! -oh my! ~
Okey - dokey.

I try to stay away from commenting on physical appearance in general - but the resemblance here is remarkable.

May The Lady save us. The marbles aren’t even loaded on the hill and they have already started to roll down hill.

Break out the popcorn, settle in, watch the fun… Oh…and put on your Depends… You’re not going to want to miss a minute of this one…

Gohmert is the Republican Party’s genius, so he needs a national stage. He’ll do a better job reminding the country of what the party really stands for than a never-ending presidential primary would.

its always a good thing to have a clown lead the clown show…

Now THERE is a political tag team of YA-HOOS: Louie & Yoho. I hope one of 'em prevails, because they are SO FAR BEYOND even main-line wing nuts, that nothing would be accomplished in the House!

these gop/bagger folks just don’t have a clue, do they…

Will Gohmert be casting aspersions on Boehner’s asparagus? Enquiring minds want to know…

In financial news, popcorn futures jumped 10% in overnight trading…

‘Gomer’ already has an official title – House Howler Monkey.

Instead of giving him more responsibilities, they need to place a sign in front of his chair in the House chamber which states: “Please don’t feed the ego”.

He has my vote. There is no sitcom on television that can compare with this.
