Louie Gohmert is one of the best of the best.

By the way, when did this start where Presidents had taxpayers pay for their hobbies? I remember a few years ago they had an ‘inside the White House’ thing on Travel (or some channel like that) and the WH chef stated that his services are paid by taxes only for official functions but Presidents are responsible to pay for personal meals, vacations, and entertainment on their own.

Of course, that was before Bo and Moo.

Of course, that was before Bo and Moo. That's still true today. Of course, taxpayers pay (and have historically paid) for AF1, secret service, and other related costs, which often dwarf the "vacation costs" that are billed to the President.

The Dallas Morning News has a really snarky liberal columnist that tries her best to paint Gohmert, Perry and Cruz as crazies. She went for it big today. Makes me so mad. She thinks standing up to the democrats should be mocked and made fun of.

Damn! First Louie then Ted, kicking butts with both feet.

Lil John Cornyn better keep heading our way or we have a guy name Williams waiting in the wings.

Texas National Government has a great bunch for a great startup.
