Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) took the microphone to explain how Americans got their freedoms, the freedom that health care reform will take away.
"When I was born I didn't deserve to be born in this country," he said, and he didn't deserve the rights guaranteed in the Constitution.
"I got those unalienable rights because people went before me and went before you and fought for them," he said.
"Read the bill," he yelled to wild cheers. "And then truth will march on."

I wonder if he's actually read the bill. I wonder if anyone has actually read the bill.

It's just a variation of a classic huckster sleight of hand.

But, if you hurry up, you can catch it and squash it to a pulp.
Of course, you'll need someone to point it out to you first.

What's with the minute to minute reporting of this asshattery?
I know what's going on, all I have to do is turn on CNN.
Please tell me you are more relevant than this, Josh.

It was the same with the White House visitors list released - each and ever "story" name got it's own blog, one after another.

He didn't deserve freedoms? This is rather revealing, isn't it?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"
