Up top is Texas toadstool Louie Gohmert on the House floor a little while ago, giving one of those speeches that reminds us all he is democracy’s greatest orator since Cicero. What important topic could the toadstool be expounding on, with visual aids that appear to be blown-up stills from the final scene of Spartacus ? Let’s listen in.
I’m very upset that Episcopalians have invited Muslims to pray in our National Cathedral because the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the FBI despite being behind every terrorist attack ever against any American never forget blah blah blah Morsi was a dictator the Egyptian constitution didn’t allow for impeachment wink wink a hundred years ago today lots of Muslims crucified Christians because one guy in the Ottoman Empire said to so all Muslims bear the mark of Cain for eternity I’m not crazy blah blah blah America I ask the Speaker to order the Sergeant-at-Arms to change my diaper more Muslim Brotherhood CAIR is a threat and unindicted co-conspirators blah blah blah no really my diaper is really starting to smell blah blah blah.
We might have paraphrased a bit.
Gohmert seems to have drawn his speech from this story at Dead Breitbart’s Cocaine and Casket Emporium, which is shaking its tiny fists of fury that the National Cathedral invited representatives of several Muslim groups to an interfaith service Friday afternoon, during which the Muslims offered Islamic prayers in the Cathedral for the first time ever, much to the chagrin of not just Louie but some random idiot who just couldn't help making an intolerant ass of herself. It’s the sort of outreach one sees between churches, synagogues and mosques all across the country all the time, particularly during the holiday season. To hold such a service at the National Cathedral in our nation’s capital obviously has great significance.
To Gohmert, of course, the significance is ZOMG MUSLIM HORDES TAKING OVER AMERICA. And just in time for the War on Christmas!
Anyway, we hope super-sleuth and child reporter Luke Russert appreciates that yr Wonkette just did his reporting for him. You're welcome, Luke.

So who owns and operates Washington National Cathedral anyway? The Episcopal Church? It's not a matter for the US Congress to concern itself with.
