Y’all, Louie Gohmert is doozy crazy.  He’s now decided to drop all his health insurance to prove that Obamacare is no damn good.

Louie went on the electric teevee to try to contend that his health instance premium went up too much to afford it under Obamacare.

“Other people are going to see what I did when I looked into health insurance for my wife and me: that the deductible rate, it doubled, about $3,000 to $6,000, and our policy was going to go from about $300 to about $1,500 a month,” he said during a recent radio interview with Trey Graham, a pastor at First Melissa Baptist Church in Collin County. “I actually don’t have insurance right now, so thank you very much, Obamacare.”

I think Louie forgot that you can go to hell for lying, same as you can for stealin’ and fornicatin’.  I have no idea where he got health insurance for $300 a month unless it was Big Bob’s Insurance and Cell Phone Hut and everybody knows Big Bob is a damn crook.

Ole Bubba paid $1,800 a month with a $5,000 deductible when he was 60 years old like Louie is now.   Now Ole Bubba is on socialized medicine and thinks it’s dandy plus a nickel.

Now here’s the Louie kicker.

Gohmert is one of the poorest members of Congress, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. His most recent financial disclosure report shows no significant assets. With his mortgage and other loans, Gohmert has a negative net worth of about $162,000.

So, here’s a guy $162,000 in debt with no health insurance.  Guess who is going to have to pay his medical bills if he gets sick?  Either his kids or me and you.  Mostly you because in Louie’s case I’m with those Republicans who want him to lay in the hospital parking lot and die.

Hey, no booing.  It’s what Louie would want.

Indiana.

Local police chief David Counceller is running for Fayette County sheriff.  He’s a Republican so his campaign kick-off included a trip to the gun store.

Counceller’s 40-caliber Glock handgun accidentally discharged Saturday afternoon while he was at Wullf’s Gun Shop. Counceller, who was off-duty at the time, said he’d been examining a handgun similar to the one he carries.

Counceller said he drove himself to the hospital for treatment of the flesh wound on his upper, right thigh. Nurses thought the chief was joking when he told them he’d shot himself, Counceller said.

This is an unusual happenstance.  Republicans usually shoot themselves in the foot.

Thanks to BJ and Cheryl for the heads up.

Florida.

During a road rage incident, some idiot shot hisowndamnself.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the man said he had been driving toward Orlando on Interstate-4 when another driver allegedly flashed a weapon after the two had some type of altercation.

To protect himself, the man brandished his own handgun, causing it to discharge into his leg.

It’s hard to be a tough guy while you’re bleeding from your own gun.  But if you think about it, this may be the solution to innocent bystanders during road rage.  Just have the drivers shoot themselves and says, “So there!  That’ll show you.”  The one who survives the worst wound wins.

Thanks to Mike for the heads up.

Sarah Palin, still the comedian.  Her Facebook page.

She wants President Barack Obama to quit playing the race card.  And she says that on Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday.

I suspect she feels that President Obama plays the race card when he shows up.

Maybe she should stop playing the stupid card.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up and John for the graphic.

If you were to sit down and make a list of anyplace you’d be willing to go, I’ll bet my best pair of pink boots that the South Carolina Tea Party Convention in Myrtle Beach would be last place.  Yeah, even below Charades Night at Dick Cheney’s House.

But, you missed a treat.  Louie Gohmert spoke at the South Carolina Tea Party Convention in Myrtle Beach.  He got himself filled with the Holy Spirit and went on a tour of Exodus, Chronicles, Isaiah, and Leviticus through all the begets and stonings, to arrive at praise deemed high enough for Benjamin Netanyahu.

Louie believes Netanyahu will be as prized as King Soloman and King David, who, you know, kinda wrote the book on this kinging stuff.

And Louie was so damn eloquent about it …

“I told [Netanyahu], and some people think this is crazy and meddling — apparently from the reaction some of y’all actually know who I am — but I told the prime minister, I said, ‘I mentioned this to you in 2009′ — we met a couple of times since then, but anyway — ‘I mentioned this to you in 2009 and I want to reiterate it, I think, I’m not a prophet, I know the Old Testament, I know history, I think you’ve got a chance to be one of Israel’s great leaders.’”

“I said, ‘I am talking about all time. The big ones. Going back to David, to Solomon, up through Josiah, Hezekiah until the end, on up through Ben Gurion …”

As a side note, Louie does know that King David had 8 consorts, right?  I mean, there goes that whole sanctity of marriage thing right there.

I am certain that Netanyahu was high flattered to be called so lofty by a crazy old man from the Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas, who can’t hardly talk English, which is kinda sad since English is the only language he speaks.

I have to admit that I am not a big winter Olympics fan.  I live on the Gulf Coast where the sun let’s her rip. Mostly, I have to put on a parka just to watch the winter Olympics.  I don’t like heights and I don’t like cold so the only kind of skiing I do is on water while gulping gas fumes from the powerboat ahead of you.

Generally, I will bundle up a watch a few winter Olympic events.  I’m not so sure about this year, though.
