So this was kind of surreal: Rachel Maddow tossed together three mostly-unrelated clips with the excuse of illustrating "three stages of political conflict that fall short of an actual war." As analysis, it's a bit superficial, at best, but as a framing device for three disparate instances of weirdass political conflict, it gets the job done, aight. Oh, but those clips -- there's some prime assholery on display here, starting with Louie Gohmert's huffing last year about how Eric Holder had "cast aspersions on my asparagus" -- yes,
"Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," [Gen. Wesley] Clark [US Army, Ret.] said.
I don't think anyone is interested in Louis Gohmert's asparagus.
Your honor, I must object. The MP in the plum dress punches like a girl.
Gohmert's defense of his fellow vegetables is to be applauded, not ridiculed.
"Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," [Gen. Wesley] Clark [US Army, Ret.] said.
Needs moar video of The Gohmert to know if the shade Holder threw was a lovely purple or green hue of his asparagus face.
Video clip of Holder/Louie^2, translated for our German-speaking friends:
Argelbargel, Spargelbargel.
Purple and green? Watch yer step. Eggplant don't supplant asparagus.
