Play Along Snark
It’s one of our favorite times here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. It is Let’s Look at Louie’s Money Time!
Here ya go in PDF format a real live actual genuine copy of Louie Gohmert’s donations and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission.
Your job is to find the most outrageous/funny/weird expenditure on Louie’s papers. The expenditures start on page 31.
The very nicest thing about buying a car with your campaign funds is that includes new tires and gallons and gallons of gasoline. It’s usual to refund your campaign for your or your family’s personal use of the campaign car. That’s usual. Louie’s not usual.
Pick your favorite – and somebody figure out how much this guy is pending on phones – and let us hear from you.
I get debs on making jokes about $442 at Trattoria Alberto in Glen Burnie, Maryland, on April 29, 2015. That’s pretty cool since Trattoria Alberto in Glen Burnie, Maryland, closed on December 31st.
Please feel free to scamper through his receipts, too, and see who’s buying Louie this month.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Seriously. Louie is fun, but is there no way this information can’t be directly channeled to someone or somewhere (other than outer space) that might actually take this up as a legal matter??? I know it is Texas, and I know mad tinfoil hatters are fun, but isn’t fraud…fraud?? Even blatant fraud in Texas??
Just sayin’.
1So I want to see Receipt Receipts and who attends those fabulous dinners at the club. Also he seems to fly a lot to DFW – what the hell for?
2So far my fav is on page 63 a payment to Rainmakers in the amount of 1921.01 purpose of distribution “solicitation”.
3Mama mia. Bad boy, Louie. Lyin’ ’bout Eye-talian food.
4ooooh, I see he got $500 smackers from SarahPAC. Lucky him, one of the few special recipients of $arah money.
5AOL???????????
6Hasn’t he thrown his tin foil hat in the Republican Clown Wagon ring yet? What’s the hold up?
7A defunct eatery? Well, I guess he figured that if the dead could still vote . . . what the hell. He is not only a sleaze, he is an amatuer sleaze.
8OK, about the phones . . . here’s my best try . . . he obviously has a slew of these things . . . some of which may be assigned to staffers and he picks up the tab . . . the AT&T charge is for a Blackberry. Remember Blackberry? It was originally devised to be used by Hill personnel only but then it busted its britches and ran loose in public. Its not that hot of an item any more with most folks who have traded it in for a Smart Phone. Louie obviously loves to show off at the Capitol Hill Club, the national hq for Retags. Been there. Food is some times good. Otherwise the ambience is lacking. Often wondered if they even bothered to pay the help at least minimum wage. And he the hell is he putting up at hotels? And why? Business? Or pleasure? This form is not all that informative. Names of actual recipients should be a requirement, not just the name of the hotel or whatever. No wonder he and his ilk are getting away with murder!
9So, I kinda like the fact that Gohmert’s campaign is paying for his XM satellite radio.
Ooo, and he rides the Amtraks for the transportations!
10Alfredo!
Big thanks!
Keep up the good work.

11What the heck did he need all that gasoline for? Looks like he was just flying around randomly for 3 months. He is gassing up the planes?
12Also looks like he bounced a bunch of checks considering all the “service charges” at Southside Bank.
13He sure eats a lot of BBQ. I understand buying BBQ from the DC Texas bbq joint. But Sam’s Wholesale? WTF?
14Like the staff phones he is paying for, I bet he is paying on the campaign committee’s nickel for gassing up someone else who is using the personal vehicle bought with campaign funds … and the merry go round keeps spinning! Not so sure those “service charges” are what they seem to be. My bank has charges for stuff other than overdrafts. Sam’s Wholesale Club? Sounds like he was personally holding a fund raiser and thought buying the stuff from Sam was a good idea, but then we all know about Louie’s good ideas. Incidentally, when you personally have to do your own fund raiser, namely when you cannot get a big name draw or sponsor, it says oodles about you.
15Leave it to Louie to still be using AOL.
16How much does this guy eat???
17Unfortunately, the FEC has already resigned responsibility for making these fools stay honest. (Which is presupposing that Gohmert started out honest)
18Oh, my. Can you just imagine a Louie Gohmert national budget proposal.
19Okay, so the restaurant closed several months earlier. Who’s to say they didn’t reopen for one night for a private party? Yep, Louie’s Annual Spring Wing-Ding, with a menu featuring Aspersion-Covered Asparagus!
20Royal Lube? Is that what Louie is doing to the people of Texas?
21Apparently Alberto didn’t like retirement too much. Seems he went and opened another restaurant at the same Glen Burnie location that he’d had Trattoria Alberto — just changed the name a bit for the new joint, to: Arturo’s Trattoria.
[see: http://www.arturostrattoria.com/ ]
Still doesn’t absolve Louie of charges of TOTAL DOOFUS, though…even with the receipt, logically, right in front of the person *accurately* filling out the *government* form, the name of the place is incorrect. Ol’ Louie doesn’t seem to care…he’s LOUIE The MAGNIFICENT. beth.
