Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert, in a nearly IowaHawkean bout of tee-hee-hee,
President Obama repeatedly asked members of Congress to pass the American Jobs Act last week. But when no Democrat filed Obama’s bill after he presented it to Congress, a conservative congressman swiped the name for his own legislation.
See, if you were to have somebody submit the legislation first, things like this may not happen. Alternative titles for the President’s legislation:
- The Steamer, Formerly Known As The American Jobs Act
- S^*t My Union Owner Says
- @AttackWatch Bait
In related Texan news,

My vote goes to #2, S^*t My Union Owner Says. Something tells me, though, it won’t be nearly as amusing as @S^*tMyDadSays…
Now that is just goddamn funny!

I’ll bet Shatner could play that role, though, if he reaches back and brings some of the Evil Kirk mojo he played in “The Enemy Within.”
