Congressman Reads 'BP Escrow Fund = Hitler' Column on House Floor
Here's famously insane Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert reading a column from prominent conservative Thomas Sowell about why Barack Obama setting up a $20 billion BP claims fund makes him literally Hitler. Thanks again for the envoy, Texas' first congressional district!
The best part of watching Gohmert illiterately stumble his way through this grown-up article is the way in which he praises Sowell:
There's a brilliant man named Thomas Sowell. And, um, I didn't vote for Barack Obama in 2008, but I sure would have voted for Thomas Sowell. This man, well, his article says quite a lot. His editorial, um, says here - and it's just been posted this week - but it says, "When Adolph Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920's" - and I'm quoting from Thomas Sowell in his editorial...
So, why the hypothetical electoral comparison between Barack Obama and Thomas Sowell? Because Thomas Sowell is black! Louis Gohmert is so 21st century. We hope he gets his wish one day, to be able to vote for this crazy columnist in an all-black presidential election.
