House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) noted that Gohmert's time had expired. Gohmert asked as a point of personal privilege that the attorney general answer which specific claim Gohmert had made that was untrue. The chairman told Holder to answer.

"The only observation I was going to make is that you state as a matter of fact what the FBI did and did not do. Unless somebody has done something inappropriate, you don't have access to the FBI files," said Holder. "I know what the FBI did. You cannot know what I know. That's all."

"I cannot have a witness challenge my character," said Gohmert, as the chairman told him again that his time had expired. Gohmert continued talking as other members of the committee asked him to observe hearing rules and suspend.

Gohmert asked again for a point of personal privilege and said that Holder was "wrong on the things that I asserted as fact." The other members of the committee disputed that his contention was a point of personal privilege.

"The attorney general will not cast aspersions on my asparagus," said Gohmert, in a malapropism for the ages.

Like the knight swearing about the mustard, yet not forsworn. The ascendance of one so stupid is depressing.

We must form an investigative committee into Goober's two heads immediately! Quick, text Issa; we need action now!

Maybe that's his wife's pet name for ole Louie's penis. Could it have a green head?
