Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) earlier this month found himself in a dispute with police after the Texas tea
partier was slapped with a ticket for parking his vehicle in a spot reserved for National Park Service
personnel near the Lincoln Memorial, according to a report obtained by Politico and reported Wednesday.

U.S. Park Police officers wrote Gohmert a citation a little after 11 p.m. on March 11 but he immediately
cried foul, arguing that his congressional placard entitled him to park in the space. According to the
report, he removed the ticket from his windshield and wrote a note on it before placing it, along with
his business card, on a nearby police car.

"Oversight of Park Service is my job!" the message reportedly read. "Natural Resources Thus the
Congressional Plate in window."

The police report also quoted Gohmert giving the officers a lecture.

1. Louis gives the People the finger by taking late-night bribes on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

2. Gomer never disappoints (if you are looking for an obnoxious asshole.)

3. The idea that this man has a law degree and was a sitting judge is way over the top.

How does anybody go and vote for that a-hole?

7. I remember U.S. Rep Robert Dornan from Orange County refusing to raise his seat during take-off on a

commercial flight claiming that it hurt his back. Dornan was just as much a nut case as Gohmert. Eventually he did get voted out of office especially as even Republicans began to questions his mental stability.
