Possible ethics violation for Rep. Gohmert?

[Iwillnevergiveup]

Oh, please let it be so. From Crooks & Liars: (of which Louis is both)

##snip##

According to a report in Politico, on March 13, 2013, shortly after 11:00 p.m., Rep. Gohmert was issued a citation for parking his black Ford SUV in a spot reserved for National Park Service vehicles. Rep. Gohmert removed the ticket from his windshield and placed it on a police car along with his business card. He included the written message: “Oversight of Park Service is my job! Natural Resources Thus the Congressional Plate in window.” According to officers at the scene, Rep. Gohmert was “rude and irate,” and “ranting.” Further, Rep. Gohmert told an officer he “did not have time to deal with the issue,” and said to officers, “I left my business card with the ticket and I am not paying for the ticket.”

1. It depends. Is there an exemption for Congress parking tickets/fines when they're doing their job?nt

2. At 11:00 at night?

But there is this:

House Rule 23, which requires all congress people conduct themselves “at all times in a manner that reflects creditably on the House.”

Louie needs to head out to Nevada for a hand-holding with Bundy.

3. Works for me. Fire up the House ethics committee and have at him! nt

4. Nope. He probably set this up. Official biz at 11 PM? Uh, huh. He wants to make Parks look mean.

He's backing his spiritual kindred in NV. Gotta get some RWNJ funding and make Parks the bad guy. Was he at the Palin rally when the GOP shut down the Parks?

5. I know what his hurry was

He had not yet boiled the potatoes that he stuffs in his mouth before he speaks. Whenever I see him on television I run to the mute button. Not even so much because of what falls out of his mouth, but how it sounds when it comes out.

7. There's an old saying in the South when the accent gets too thick - "Get the rag out of your mouth."

6. If it was a Democrat, it would have been all over MSM within a week and he would have resigned...
