Frank Bruni has an article on Michele Bachmann which also fits Gohmert to a tee:<i> It’s to wonder why we accept her descriptions of herself, and in turn describe her, as a deeply religious woman. That grants too much credence to her particular, peculiar and highly selective definition of piety. And it offends the many admirable people of faith whose understanding and practice of religion aren’t, like hers, confrontational and small-minded. Bachmann is an evangelical, and has spoken rhapsodically about the experience of being born again. After that moment, she said, “I absolutely understood sin, and I wanted no part of it.” She plunged into politics nonetheless. We routinely place her in the “religious right,” a phrase that frustrates me, tidily linking a certain set of political beliefs with profound devotion. We talk much less frequently of any “religious left,” and that disparity implies that a seriously faithful person is most likely to land on just one end of the political spectrum. Bachmann’s on to something: dangerous fundamentalists have indeed set up camp deep inside the capital. She can find one in her office. She need only look in the mirror. </i> <a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/24\/opinion\/bruni-the-divine-miss-m.html\?_r=1&amp\;pagewanted=all" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/24/opinion/bruni-t...">http://www.nytimes.com/2012...

Dennis Miller? The Dennis Miller...the Dennis Miller that use to be, you know, Dennis Miller?

He was funny once and I enjoyed his sub-referencing style of humor. That was, of course, before he dove to the right faster than Brooks Robinson.

Edit: Ok...maybe he wasn't that funny. Here's a DM reference generator. <a href="http://wiki.joshuajamesslon..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://wiki.joshuajamesslone.name/tiki-index.php?...">http://wiki.joshuajamesslon...

From the picture... Doesn't he look like the douchebag that just told someone he was foreclosing on their home?

See, there are many reasons to hate Gomer Pile of Shit...I think I hate him the most when I feel compelled to defend Walnuts.

Yeah, but it's the <i>horrible allegations</i> about the horrible accusations that Gomer is upset about. Stop trying to change the subject!

Rebecca, really! The information used came from <a href="http:\/\/tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsm...\/2012\/07\/michele_bachmanns_frank_gaffney.php\?ref=fpb" target="_blank">Frank Gaffney</a> and if you can't trust that guy with the truth, well, just who can you trust?

Looks like <em>someone</em> just admitted to making horrible accusations, no?

Apparently grass doesn't grow on a busy street.

Or - in Louie Gomer's case - a dead end one.

Remember the episode where his buddies made fun of the female marine?

"Why - I bet she has a TATOO!"
