Last week, Republican Brain Louie Gohmert stunned the rest of the Republican party and caused much amusement among liberals when he hinted that he is interested in running for president in 2016. Speaking to The Hill, Gohmert was asked about his feelings on Ted Cruz and whether he will support Cruz’s run for President.
“Ted is a good friend and would be an outstanding president,” Gohmert said. Then he chimed in this little piece of nugget.”However, I haven’t ruled out an exploratory committee myself!”
Realizing that the Brain had once again stuffed his mouth with his right foot, Gohmert’s office quickly released this statement via email, informing the world that Gohmert was only joking about a possible run for president, and even if he wasn’t joking, the statement concludes that Gohmert’s baldness prevented him from running.
The Statement:
“Washington D.C. contains too many who do not recognize statements made with a figurative tongue in cheek, sometimes known as being ironic,” said an email from Gohmert’s office.
“To more completely describe his actual beliefs, Congressman Gohmert notes the Kennedy-Nixon debates created a line of demarcation beyond which television became the critical factor in being elected President which also meant there would be no more bald Presidents in his lifetime.”
Too bad. I was looking forward to a President Gomer in the White House!
