FRI OCT 17, 2014 AT 07:19 AM PDT Americas Dumbest Congressman: CDC Ebola response is part of the Democrats war on women nurses byLaura ClawsonFollow attribution: Gage Skidmore/Creative Commons Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) Rep. Louie Gohmert (of course), speaking to Glenn Beck (of course), is angry that the CDC said the Texas nurses who contracted Ebola had violated protocols: It’s a shame that the CDC head, Frieden, is apparently the new commander of the Democrats’ war on women nurses, Gohmert told Beck. Because, goodnight, they set them up, and then they throw them under the bus. We could talk about how, in reality, Frieden called the nurses good, dedicated people who violated protocol in part by wearing too much protective gear, something one obviously does with the best of intentions. And how, in reality, Republicans are always looking for ways to make nurses jobs harder and less safe. But coming from Gohmert, this isnt about nurses. Its about finding a way to connect Ebola and Democrats. And lo! Women are involved, so he just threw a war on women accusation in there, because thats how Republican word salad works. It doesnt make sense. Its not supposed to make sense. Its just about hitting enough fear buttons on Glenn Becks listeners and then pulling Democrats in somehow. I guess you dont win the highly competitive title of Americas Dumbest Congressman without being creative. Basic, run-of-the-mill stupidity wouldnt stand out in the congressional setting. A little flamboyance is necessary.
