Congress Suggests Moat, Eletronic Fence To Protect White House

[ElNono]

Acting Secret Service director Joseph Clancy on Wednesday faced a number of tough questions from the House Judiciary Committee about the fence jumper who made it deep into the White House. But along with the tough questions, Clancy fielded a couple eyebrow raising suggestions on how to better protect the president's home (http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/medieval-times-congress-suggests-moat-electronic-fence-protect-white-house-n251931). "Would a moat, water six feet around, be kind of attractive and effective?" Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., asked with trepidation. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, asked: “Would you be in favor of removing the fence around the White House and having, maybe, a virtual or electronic fence around it?” Clancy liked the moat idea better than the electric fence. “My knee-jerk reaction to that would be no, sir,” he told Gohmert. “Partly because of the number of tourists that come up Pennsylvania Avenue and come up to that area.”

:lmao 6 foot moat... not only does that just sound ridiculous, but a coordinated adult could clear 6 feet

I like the idea of letting nutjobs hop the fence freely better

Is Louie Gohmert legitimately mentally handicapped?

Is Louie Gohmert legitimately mentally handicapped?

Yeah, because Cohen's moat idea was reasonable.

Well, then you're just like them -- or worse. I suspect most of them would simply lie, cheat ,or steal their way into office. Although, there are probably a few murderers among them.

Pretty much shows that our governments brains are still in the middle ages :lol

I wasn't comparing them. Both ideas are idiotic. I'm not as familiar with Cohen's history of saying the most mind-bogglingly stupid things every time he opens his mouth. Gohmert is an embarrassment to Texas, America, and Democracy.
