America's Dumbest Congressman not running for president after all
Why, was the clown car getting too full?
The "news" that America's Dumbest Congressman, less frequently known as Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, was contemplating a run for president sent shivers up our spines for a moment last night. Alas, it was too badgood to be true.
Later, a Gohmert aide told the Texas Tribune that the congressman was being ironic. The aide said Gohmert believed his lack of hair would be a major hindrance to trying to run for president.
Um ... all right. That, too, is no way to run a country, but I suppose there is more precedent for denying a bald person the presidency than denying a stupid person the same office. Most presidential primaries feature few if any bald people but a very ample selection of stupid people. It is a bit of a running theme, in fact.
