Teabagger Rep. Louie Gohmert Acts Out SNL Skit To Empty US House Chamber

Mediaite sets the stage:

The problem, in Gohmert’s estimation, is that the line Tina Fey delivered on Saturday Night Live as Palin — “I can see Russia from my house” — has overshadowed Palin’s actual quote to ABC News’ Charles Gibson concerning Russia’s proximity to Alaska. As Gohmert long-windedly explained from the House floor, what Palin actually said was, “You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.” To make his point, Gohmert read aloud lengthy excerpts from both the ABC News interview and the SNL sketch. “We know that Saturday Night Live has altered sketches that in the past, at least once, I recall seeing, where they were afraid it might make President Obama look bad and they certainly didn’t want to do that,” Gohmert said. “It’s OK to take shots at Republicans, but they certainly didn’t want to be fair and hit back at President Obama in the same way.” For the record, he did say that he thinks Lorne Michaels is a “comic genius.” From there, Gohmert proceeded to do the least funny reenactment of an SNL sketch ever, playing both Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.
