[Gohmert] kicked off his speech with the reading of a Wall Street Journal editorial on the IRS.

Lettuce check in on the further adventures of America's dumbest congressman, Rep. Louie Gohmert. It appears Rep. Gohmert now has an innovative idea to simply defund large parts of the executive branch until someone, somewhere adequately answers for all the various conspiracy theories that rattle around inside Louie Gohmert's head. Defunding Obamacare a few dozen times has gotten boring, after all, and defunding food aid to poor children has been done to death, and Gohmert has come back from his long, dull August break with an entire hive of bees in his bonnet Louie Gohmert looking to a Wall Street Journal editorial for wisdom is like a mouse deciding to build his home inside a burning tire because it's warm.

Oh, you might say, Mr. Gohmert is going to be speaking about the IRS conspiracy debunked months ago. Understandable; he has always been a bit slow on the uptake. But no, it is actually about Fast and Furious.



Gohmert particularly seemed to single out the Department of Justice for budgetary vengence, saying it hasn't been forthcoming dating back to at least the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal.

That's reaching back a fair ways, but all right. Let's run with that one.

More from Louie below the fold.
