This got past me the other day, but it's a good indication of how idiocy spreads in this modern communications age, and how idiocy is rather like plutonium that way -- if you can't keep it locked up in your country, then I wind up hiding under my bed in mine. The piquant passage is deep in the story.
Many Egyptians refer to YouTube clips played repeatedly by the pro-military news media, quoting Representative Louie Gohmert, Republican of Texas, who recently equated giving $1.5 billion in aid to the Morsi government with support for terrorists.
Be proud, all of you who voted in the worst Congress in the history of the Republic. Be proud, Republican leadership, which has proven to be unable or unwilling to control the flying monkeys in its midst. You've done something remarkable. In the streets of Cairo, the face of American foreign policy is Louie Gohmert, scourge of Terror Babies, and the biggest bag of hammers in the House Of Representatives. This is a blow from which diplomacy may never recover.
