This is your daily reminder that Louie Gohmert is an elected U.S. official who receives at least 70 percent of his district’s vote every two years.
Appearing this week on Christian talk radio show Point of View, the Texas Republican pivoted a conversation on the U.S. military response to Ebola in West Africa to a rant against the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the 1993 policy that prevented openly gay people from serving in the military.
Gohmert being Gohmert, this was no ordinary rant against gay people in the military. No, no, this one connected Gohmert’s belief that gay people like to give each other massages, and thus would be unable to properly fight a war because they’d be too busy rubbing each other’s shoulders all day.

I’ve had people say, “Hey, you know, there’s nothing wrong with gays in the military. Look at the Greeks.” Well, you know, they did have people come along who they loved that was the same sex and would give them massages before they went into battle.

It’s guerrilla fighting. You are going to be ultimately vulnerable to terrorism and, you know, if that’s what you start doing in the military like the Greeks did, as people have said, “Louie, you have got to understand, you don’t even know your history.” Oh, yes, I do. I know exactly. It’s not a good idea.

No no no. They would be humping each other all day long. It’s all about the sex, any port in a storm.
Check out who Palin endorsed for Governor in Alaska. She’s lost me for good.
I do not believe that a majority of the Republican senators would vote to confirm Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court in the unlikely event that a Republican president would nominate him.
Bryan fell out with Wilson in 1915 and left the secretaryship of state over the ‘’Lusitania’’ notes being too strongly worded.
That's right. WJB and Wilson had, at best, a tense tolerance for each other. Their backgrounds were so vastly different that they never developed anything approaching a friendship. Wilson saw WJB as a rustic clown and Bryan perceived WW as a cold, distant Ivy league professor type. Their stormy alliance was forged in the common interest of advancing a socialist agenda in the name of "progressivism".
