No take backs, Louie!

Louie Gohmert thrilled my heart by emailing The Hill in Washington Dee Cee and saying …

“Ted [Cruz] is a good friend and would be an outstanding President; however, I haven’t ruled out an exploratory committee myself,” Gohmert said in a statement emailed to The Hill from a spokesperson.

Yes!

Then on the same damn day Louie’s office gets real with a Texas online newspaper, calling the first statement “irony.”  Dumb, yes.  Irony, no.  Sir, I know irony.  Irony is a friend of mine.  You are no irony.

And you wanna know the only reason Louie isn’t running?

“To more completely describe his actual beliefs, Congressman Gohmert notes the Kennedy-Nixon debates created a line of demarcation beyond which television became the critical factor in being elected President which also meant there would be no more bald Presidents in his lifetime.”

Well, he does have a point.  There have been exceptionally dumb Presidents since Nixon.  There are also been crazy Presidents since Nixon.  But bald?  Nope.

Get a man a wig and a filing fee, dammit.

Thanks to everybody and their Aunt Matilda for the heads up.
