Texas congressman Louie Gohmert has officially retired the trophy for the competition Waldo's been running between the Georgia and Texas Republican congressional delegations to determine who'd the stupidest. Gohmert, in recent months, has carried his Tom Delay-gerrymandered fellow hacks to heights of surrealism and asshat crazy ( as Sarah Palin would say), and with this, the freedom-loving, Constitution-fetishizing little man has, beyond any question, won the day:
A Republican Congressman suggested on Tuesday that Attorney General Eric Holder permitted a federal judge to read Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev his Miranda rights because the Obama cabinet official is biased towards terrorism. Since law enforcement officials captured Tsarnaev holed up in a boat on April 19th, conservatives have questioned why a federal judge Mirandized the suspect 16 hours after he was captured and have criticized the Justice Department for not stepping in and stopping the process.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) — who has spent the weeks following the bombing arguing that Obama’s “political correctness” prevented the FBI from stopping the attacks — appeared on the Glenn Beck radio show to argue that Holder’s history of defending terrorists allowed the judge to Mirandize Tsarnaev:
GOHMERT: Think about it, when your attorney general spent more of his legal career helping terrorists than defending the country, then you know we all have certain biases and lean certain ways.
