This Week In Wingnuttiness

Texas Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert, who never met crazy that he didn't call 'friend', took to the floor of the House of Representatives last week with another of his conspiracies theories: President Obama's jobs bill is actually part of his plan to destroy marriage.

Oh, but he did.

Louie Hewey Dewey Gohmert; "This president, by virtue of the power to tax, the power to destroy, takes a shot at traditional conventional marriage."

He believes that tax credits under the president's plan would favor couples who live together but aren't married, you know, like gay couples: "This may be something nice he's throwing out for gay folks that are living together so he can tell them actually you are better off not getting married because there is a marriage penalty here."

Wack-a-doodle then gets wackier-a-doodle.

Gohmert went off on a tangent in which he claims the founding fathers had expressed an opinion on same-sex marriage: "Of course, the founders they all understood marriage to be between a man and a woman, that's just the way the history of the country has been."

i remember when George Washington was running for president on the One Man-One Woman platform, though, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he supported domestic partnerships and civil unions?

Poor Louie Gohmert. he climbed to the top of the crazy tree and ate the crazy fruit and got drunk with crazy and fell out of the tree hitting every crazy branch on the way down until he landed in a state of crazy--AKA Texas--and was elected to public office.
