Oh Louie, It’s Tempting
Louie Gohmert made a promise.
He says that if the Congress will treat the Iran deal as a treaty, requiring it to have a 2/3rds vote, he will will resign his seat and not run again.
Of course, it would not pass if there’s a 2/3rds vote requirement. That’s the whole deal.
Louie’s overinflated view of himself comes into play on this offer.
“I’ll give them the only thing I have that they want,” Gohmert said in a phone interview with KLTV 7. “And that’s me not to run for Congress again.”
Louie, Honey, they do not care abut you. You’re a gnat in a den of lions. But, you’re a gnat who makes threats, which is kinda adorable.
“If they continue this course,” Gohmert said, “I will be the biggest pain in the neck, and other places, of the Republican leadership, until we get leadership that will follow the Constitution.”
Well, yeah, they’ll buy some bug spray and get by.
So, the way I see it, Louie needs to double down here: treat it as a treaty OR strap his goofy butt to the first nuke fired at Iran. If he could get Ted Cruz and Donald Trump to make the same promise, it would certainly be tempting.
Thanks to AlaninAustin for the heads up
…and may I nominate you to push the launch button.
1Louie-the true height of ambition is an ant floating down the river on his back with a woodie yelling for someone to raise the drawbridge. You are not even close to that ant,Louie. You are a nothing and less. 🙂
2Gohmert’s “promise” reminds me of Trump’s recent signed pledge to support the Republican candidate. Just how is anyone supposed to enforce these deals?
Re Trump, what if he just changed his mind? For that matter, how do you define “support?” I suspect it would mean whatever Trump wants it to mean at any given time.
No wonder these guys can’t govern.
3If they were to actually take him up on this deal, how long would it be before God told Louie to forget his promise and run again?
4No reason for this big of an ego.
5Hardly even worth reaching for the can of Gohmert-B-Gone.
And presumably the GOP “pledge” means everybody else has promised to support Trump if he’s the candidate, even those who have acknowledged that he’d be a disaster as president. Party first, country maybe later… though in that case it would destroy the party too.
Hmm… when Louie says the only thing he has that “they” want is for him to get out of Congress, who’s the “them”? JJ’s editing makes it sound like he means the Republicans. Do they want him out too?
6Hey, at least Louie is entertaining. What if his replacement were a big old surly snarling idjit?
7Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t international Treaties the sole province of the Senate? Isn’t Louey member of the House?
8Louie is going to be a pain in the neck? Looks like he’s moving up the body.
9I can almost see it now. A reenactment of the last scene of Dr. Strangelove, with Gohmert, Cruz, and Trump straddling an A-bomb, cowboy hats waving in the wind, hootin’ & hollerin’ all the way down.
In this instance though, when it hits the ground, like the three amigos sitting up top it’s a dud.
10Okay, Loopy Louie is crying out for attention. Charles? David? Donald? Time for one of you to step up and give Louie a ride one of your personal jets. It doesn’t need to be a round trip. One way to anywhere will be just fine, if you leave Louie outside the country and without his passport. Somewhere without an American Embassy to issue a passport replacement would be a bonus.
11Oh Louie, you do say the most hopeful things!
12I remember a story about a flea crawling up an elephant’s ass with rape on it’s mind.
13But Louie’s such a cute little feller.
14and that bald pate. A real dream man.
Right. Have a 2/3rds vote or “the Pride of Texas” will resign and not run again.
I believe that promise just like I believe the promise of a draft-dodging child rapist who said, “If Barack Obama becomes the president in Nov., again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. …I’m serious as a heart attack!”
15He and Kim Davis, charter members of the “I’ll say anything to stay in the public eye” party. Their candidate is of course Mr. Cruz.
16Poor Louie! He desperately wants to be missed. I guess someone needs to remind him that we all can’t miss him if he want go away.
I do wish Molly could have written to us of Louie. Or Ann Richards could debate him.
17Promises, promises….
18I guess when you run unopposed it’s pretty easy to make promises you won’t fulfill.
19Folks,
I’m not saying you should do this – take my word that I did it for you – but Louie was on Glenn Bleech today and those two are like cuddle buddies when they get together. It is touching, in a creepy way, but they do love each other and seem to be genuinely “in love.” Thank goodness, I didn’t detect any lust.
Now that I wrote that I forgot what I was going to tell you. Maybe that piece of information is more than I should have shared anyway.
20Dang, Mark, I’m glad it’s been hours since I ate, but still….
21Rhea,
22I AM sorry. But I work alone a great deal and will randomly listen in on RWNJ radio to see what I should be worried about or have to laugh at.
Your boy from Houston area Michael Berry is a real pimple on the ass of humanity. But, I digress. When Beck and his two shills have Gohmert on the vibe is . . . . well, close. These men are very close. Bless their hearts.
@Mark, Konspiracy Knut Knation? Knewsbreak? uKnited? uKnlimited?
23Good Grief I though the wingnuts here in Florida were a bunch of morons and they are but you Texans really have it bad. The idiots down here can’t get anything down even with veto proof majorities more proof repigs cannot govern.
