Tea party-backed Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA) on Saturday held a press conference in Egypt to thank the country’s military for overthrowing the elected government, and at one point even seemed to suggest that the Muslim Brotherhood had been behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
“Together, we’ve gone through suffering. Together, the United States and Egypt, have dealt with the same enemy,” Bachmann explained. “It’s a common enemy, and it’s an enemy called terrorism.”
“We want to make sure that you have the Apache helicopters, the F-16s, the equipment that you have so bravely used to capture terrorists and to take care of this menace that’s on your border,” she continued. “Many of you have asked, do we understand who the enemy is? We can speak for ourselves. We do.”…
During Saturday’s press conference, Gohmert praised Egyptian coup-leader General Abdel Fatah el-Sissi by comparing him to U.S. President George Washington.
“We met with for a long meeting General el-Sissi and many of the military leaders, and my friend Steve King mentioned again about our heritage in America,” he explained. “George Washington, doing what no one had ever done before him, led a military in revolution, won the revolution, and then resigned and went home.”….
Jeebus Kripes! What is this fucking world coming to? We've got the Larry, Curly and Moe of Teatard politics cavorting abroad and making fools of themselves and demonstrating to the world just how fucking screwed up America is because we've elected buffoons like these three to public office.
The Gadfly cannot determine which is more disturbing - hearing Louie Gohmert compare a brutal military strongman/dictator/coup leader, who has had no compunction when it comes to slaughtering his own people because of their dissenting political views, to George Washington. Or - Shelly Bachmann promising that same despot that we Americans will gladly donate our tax dollars to purchase Apache helicopters, F-16's and other "equipment" to help him oppress his people even more.
Every day The Gadfly becomes just a bit more convinced that this country has lost it's collective fucking marbles and is on the fast track to doing something supremely stupid enough to start WW3 and the beginning of the end of democracy as we know it.
