New and hilarious entry in the Urban Dictionary: Gohmert (v)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gohmert

Gohmert verb: to say something that is obviously and patently untrue to the point of stupidity, then when called upon to provide concrete evidence of the assertion, to flounder about angrily while shouting about the integrity of the questioner.
The Congressman Gohmerted for 5 minutes when called upon by Anderson Cooper to provide evidence that terror babies are being sneaked across the border.

4. Are you obsessed?
Even when someone here bashes the right, which my OP does in a funny way, you have to turn it around and make it something negative against people on the left.

8. Only Chuckles..
And he's not an ordinary rodent, Chuckles is a pragmatic and sensible rodent.

You know, a rodent who lacks principles.

10. It is those who lack principles who vacillate..
Since they blow with the ever changing winds of pragmatism, what is pragmatic today might be totally unpragmatic tomorrow.

Principles are like the stars that seamen used to navigate by, they are fixed in the firmament of morality.

14. No, John Gohmert Boehner
is from southwestern Ohio....some old manufacturing towns that have been decimated such as Hamilton and Middletown. But they thump their Bibles, I guess. Of course, he's close to the Ohio River and the water in Cincinnati is the WORST I have ever tasted.

16. I'd never heard of him....
:dunce: I was wondering how the word 'gohmert' came into being. Now I know. Thanks.

I know little of TX and I want TX to know little about me. I've always been afraid if I spent any time there, I'd eventually end up in jail.
