Louie
The Longview News-Journal is a newspaper in Louie Gohmert’s home district. Admittedly, there are some local newspapers in Louie’s district who kiss his stinky rank butt, but the Longview newspaper ain’t one of them.
This week, they go after Louie’s vote against aid to the areas of Texas that were leveled by Harvey. It was horrible in Houston, but maybe even worse were the dozens of small towns along the southern coast who didn’t get all the attention and love that Houston did. Rockport was leveled, but there are no teevee stations in Rockport so no celebrities raising money showed up.
The Longview newspaper notes that six Texas Republicans voted against the aid to Texas supposedly because there were no offsets and these six Texas Republicans were unwilling to sacrifice their big salaries, fancy pants overseas “fact finding” trips and their big fat perks just to save someone’s life.
But, the News Journal does such a superb job of smacking Louie upside the head that’s it’s worth your read. They write ….
Knowing Gohmert, the “logic” of his vote could be much more esoteric. It is possible he worried that undocumented immigrants would use the money to produce anchor babies who might then become future gay members of space colonies.
They know him well.
Way to go, Longview News-Journal. It’s nice that somebody in East Texas recognizes caca del toro when they smell it.
Thanks to Karen for the heads up.
East Texas, home to Louie Gohmert the cheapest tool in the Koch brother’s playlist. That has to sting.
1Even in E. TX he stands out in STOOPID.
2Kinda scary that Longview News-Journal can articulate Loopie Louie’s logic so articulately. Did Louie help the editor write that editorial piece?
3Did you read the comments from the readers? Amazing how many people support Gohmert and Trump, completely ignoring facts. Proud ignorance will be the total undermining of this nation.
4I’ve got this image of Louie, furiously thumbing through a dictionary to find out what the hell “esoteric” means. What a pathetic, embarrassing loser.
5While I can really appreciate the effort J.J. Watts and so many others did to help out Houston, I found fault in it because it was exclusively for Houston.
So what about places like Rockport, Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Portland and Galveston? Who helped them?
This is why I don’t like appeals to “help us” because, unsaid, it implies, “and not them”.
It takes from other places also desperately needing help.
6It’s gonna take Louie some extra time to find that definition, SteveTheReturned. He’s still looking under “s”.

8Never having been interested in any of those fantasy sports, I don’t know if there’s one for wrestling or not. But if so, you two should seriously consider putting yourselves in as a tag team. You’d wipe the mat with everybody.
The quoted paragraph is hilarious! I had to read it slowly because the twists and turns mirror Louie’s convoluted and confused little mind. I agree with P.P., Steve and JDM win this comments section. Bravo!
