DENVER, Colorado — 

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

 brought the house down at the Western Conservative Summit in Colorado this evening, leaving delegates in hysterics, and lamenting the fact that as Gohmert himself said tonight: You can’t be bald if you want to be President.

Gohmert’s tour-de-force followed Dr. Ben Carson, who declared himself as the anti-politician politician. Carson talked at length about the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage judgment, stating that Congress would have to act to balance the parts of the government that have got “too big for their britches.”

Carson said that the left-wing agenda in America had become more about dividing people than uniting them: “They want us to fight each other. Why would we want to destroy each other, when we have radical Islamic jihadists trying to destroy us? Why would we help them?”

He said a President should be using the “bully pulpit… instead of inflaming the situation,” as many felt Barack Obama did last night by illuminating the White House with the rainbow flag.

America is “Judeo Christian in its origin, even if the President doesn’t think so,” he continued. 

Carson discussed America’s “$211 trillion” fiscal gap, saying his exploratory committee had 200,000 new donors in recent months. 

“Our government is designed for the people, not for the political class,” he concluded..

But the audience were left in stitches after the appearance of Texas

Gohmert made serious points, repeating his statements yesterday that two of the Supreme Court judges who opined in favor of same-sex marriage were compromised and biased, given thatJustices Ginsburg and Kagan had been conducting same-sex marriages themselves in states where it was already legal. They should have recused themselves from the case, he said.

Louie Gohmert's Capitol tour

I already liked Louie Gohmert (R-TX) a lot, but after reading about the tours he provides for constituents, I realize I have underrated him. Andrew Evans of the Washington Free Beacon "tagged along" with the congressman as he guided constituents on a multi-hour personal tour of the Capitol. Read the whole thing, but here is a sample.

Congressman Gohmert isn't your typical tour guide. Only a few congressmen actually give their own tours, Gohmert told me. Fewer tour guides have the depth of knowledge of the Capitol that Gohmert has. And fewer still have the access to the Capitol that he gave the group.

The tour began with Gohmert taking the group onto the floor of the House of Representatives. He let us sit in the first couple of rows of seats as he stood between two lecterns and talked to us, still wearing his buttoned black suit jacket and occasionally running his hand over his bald pate. He explained some of the mechanics of his job: where people sit, what walls light up showing how the representatives have voted, how he casts his vote.

Someone asked Gohmert if there is anywhere in the Capitol that he hasn't been. "The crawl space underneath," he said, shrugging.

Gohmert's explained to the group the origin of a hole in the ceiling of the House Chamber (a bullet hole from when Puerto Rican nationalists stormed the room), where a fresco by "the only classically trained fresco painter in America" at the time used to be in the House and why it was gone, and the origin of partisan seating arrangements in the House (it came from the British House of Commons).
