Texas congressmunchkin and Super DeLux Brand Chrisitan Louie Gohmert got mouthy with the United States of Damn America Park Police.  He pulled rank and sassed an officer of the law.

Shortly after 11 p.m. on March 13, officers wrote Rep. Louie Gohmert a citation for parking his black Ford SUV in a spot reserved for National Park Service vehicles, according to a Park Police report obtained by POLITICO.

But Gohmert wasn’t having it: He told the Park Police that his congressional parking placard allows him to park in that spot, and he’s on the committee that oversees the agency.

Gohmert took the ticket off his windshield and placed it on a police car along with his business card with a written message: “Oversight of Park Service is my job! Natural Resources Thus the Congressional Plate in window.”

He was “rude and irate,” one officer reported. Another wrote that Gohmert was “ranting.”

Now, I gotta defend Louie here.  Ranting is his usual tone of voice.  He rants, “Good morning,” and he rants “was it good for you?”  Louie is a first class ranter.

Remember when Tom DeLay declared to a waiter asking him not to smoke his cigar in a restaurant because the federal government had a law against it and Tom replied, “I am the federal government.”   That makes Louie a national park.  Can we plant a tree on his head because it ain’t doin’ much else?

When your congressman acts in a manner that you swat your fifteen year old for doing, then it’s time that public servant comes home.   With his tail between his legs.  He’s become a little too big for his britches.

Thanks to Lorraine in Spring for the heads up.
