GOP member whines because he had to walk a block in the rain

GOP member: White House 'clowns' are 'punishing' lawmakers after security flub
By Jordy Yager and Bob Cusack - 03/12/10 12:16 PM ET


Members of Congress are being “punished” as a result of the notorious “gate crashing” security breach at the White House last year, according to a Texas Republican.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) took to the House floor Friday to give a lengthy complaint about having to walk a block in the rain through heavy security Thursday to visit the White House.

“The member of Congress, like today in the rain, has to go down a block and then go through security there with double the number of guards and then come up and go through security again and go through guards again,” Gohmert said.

Security is tighter “not because Secret Service messed up or the armed guards that are now doubled in number, but because somebody in the White House staff screwed up,” he said.

“Now they’re deciding to punish members of Congress and law-abiding citizens that normally just get in.”

He described the White House as a “circus” run by “clowns,” and said lawmakers were being unfairly punished for Tareq and Michaele Salahi's crashing a White House party last year.

3. how do you think we feel about Bush admin letting people fly into buildings and holding Airlines and
us to have to go through invasive security and now body scanners - will they hire all the porn criminals or pedophiles to view the scans - I feel I am being violated every time they go through my backpack at theme parks.

7. These guys are just contrarians on everything.
A lot of security now is "too much." Not enough is a scandal.

10. Why is Rep. Gohmert siding with the terrorists?
How long has he been in the pocket of Al Qaeda? Why does he want real Americans to die gruesome deaths? What about national security, Rep. Gohmert?

Gee, if Republicans and their media mouthpieces hadn't made such a big, fat hairy deal about the Salahis, maybe Mr. Gohmert wouldn't have gotten rained on. But I can see why it would be such a trauma for him, after what happened to his sisters, what with the house falling on them, and getting splashed with a bucket of water.

12. Hey, slacker
your parents had to walk 5 miles to school, in the snow, uphill both ways, all of this after being up to do the morning farm chores, and then having to do the evening farm chores after school. You should be able to walk a block without whining. :cry:

GOP big whiner, here's some cheese.

19. The government is a circus, run by clowns
and this jackass is just another side show. Maybe he'd like to walk a few blocks in the rain in Iraq or Afghanistan, might change his fucking mood a bit.
