A round of applause, please, for John McCain's reply to a question from Brian Williams on Wednesday's NBC Nightly News. Over the weekend, at the Values Voter summit, Texas congressdoofus Louie Gohmert had accused McCain of supporting al Qaeda -- this has become the standard teabagger attack on anyone who suggests any support for Syrian rebels, let alone a "let's bomb Assad" warmonkey like McCain. In a discussion of the increasingly uncivil tone in Washington, Williams noted that Gohmert's comments "hardly made a blip." (At least that's what he meant -- we're pretty sure Williams says "it hardly made a blimp," which is a phrase we'd like to see catch on.)
Gohmert Syndrome is no laughing matter. It breaks my heart to hear kids taunting each other as "a Gohmert". Even when they say "what up G", I know what they mean just like when they text WTG.
Thankfully sit-coms no longer use the "g-word", though the Daily Show still crosses that boundary sometimes. "CNN really (bleep) that story", or "Michele Bachmann is crazy as (bleep)." I can read lips Jon.

On the other hand, there is real peril in trying to mainstream Gohmerts; in some districts, more than 60% of some Texans will elect them to Congress.
If only Wonkette allowed comments, I would say something about needing to clean coffee off my monitor.
HOORAY! Seriously, I'm with you on the pining. My screen's been the same picture for a month and the stars are so BORING now!
You win. That was awesome!
Writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, and certiorari. Res ipsa loquitur, quasi in rem action, fee simple absolute, and springing executory interests.
I have more....
Way less, as I recall. More like 1%.
TPINO sounds like it should be a new candidate superpartner to make up dark matter.
Kind of repetitious, though.
In the intelligence bidness, we live for these little moments.
I'll be happy to provide the catsup.
Even saw the lights of the Good Year blimp, and it said "Louie Gohmert's a gimp."
Is McCain saying that Wonkette should ban comments on Gohmert for the same reason as Palin's youngest?
THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR JOHN MCCAIN.
Fuck you, it is too.
Why did that take so long? I would have promptly sent a tortoise along with Sarah Palins head stuck on top!
Big talk from the guy who chose Sarah Palin as his running mate.
