Awesome: Rep. Gohmert reads Ace's Obamaphone zinger on House floor [video]

Yes indeed, the Twitter debate over NSA blanket surveillance has made it all the way to the House floor.

Today, Texas GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert cited a tweet from the quotable Ace of Spades (approximately 3:40 mark):

Ace’s quote as read by Gohmert was a source of amusement for some twitter users of varying political stripes:

Ace reacts to the news on his blog:

I couldn’t have done it without you guys. Well, I probably could have. But I wouldn’t have wanted to.
