Somewhere on DU somebody told me Loui Gohmert was gone--retired! He was JUST on my TV!!!

Maybe he's retiring the end of this year, but he's definitely still there now!

He's not going anywhere by his own choice. He might have to get a real job and actually work. I don't see that happening. Not as long as the mentally deficient people in his district keep re-electing him. Wherever he's from in TX is a place I never want to go.
