Hee!

On Wednesday, McCain said Gohmert had “no intelligence” in response to Gohmert’s charge that McCain is an al-Qaeda supporter.

“Sometimes comments like that are made out of malice, but if someone has no intelligence I don’t feel it as being a malicious statement,” McCain said on NBC News. “But yes, there’s polarization here, and there’s a lack of civility.”

I repeat, hee!

Given that Charlie Pierce once called Gohmert “perhaps the dumbest mammal to enter a legislative chamber since Caligula’s horse,” I’m not giving McCain a lot of credit for grasping the obvious, but this is still an amusing tiff.
