Now before you get all up on your high horse and remind us the people deserve a House Oversight chair who’s secure in their asparagus, that’s Texas Rep. Gohmert, yet another one of the Republican House members that tarted up the bodies of American dead at Benghazi and then ran them around the House floor in a flag bunting-festooned GOP wheelbarrow long after the stink got hard to take.

Chaffetz, along with previous chair California Rep. Issa, never forgot it was supposed to be about the oversight. Gowdy’s strength as chair, presumably, will remain as it’s always been fundraising, but he keeps his head in the game and his eye on the ball too.

Grandstanding parasites like Gowdy could’ve gone after Clinton for any number of real crimes against humanity, but it was kayfabe, the bullshit animosity wrestlers have to maintain to keep up the drama in their rigged sport. Presidents, from Reagan with Iran Contra to Bush and Cheney using the Constitution to light their cigars to Obama doing the same thing but in an Armani pelt, have committed myriad impeachable offenses. Yet, there’s always some kayfabe reason to ignore ’light’ treason, and focus on disgusting farce. Welcome to the chairmanship, then, Rep. Gowdy.
