And The Gales of Laughter Have Not Died Down Yet
Y’all, Louie has taken goofy to international levels.
First we noticed that he was charging his campaign account for a trip to London, including a $234.54 taxi ride.
And a helluva hotel bill.
Let’s face it, $5,000 pays for a whole bunch of porn on the hotel tv. Or, everything in the mini-bar.
The Andaz is a five star hotel — only the best when someone else is paying for it.
Well, come to find out, Louie wasn’t advising the House of Lords. He was … wait for it … speaking to the Cambridge Union Society.
And, Honey, they were already poking fun at him before he got there. They posted this video. And this Facebook page —
Louie takes London — gotta do a movie!
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Those Greek gay massages sure do add up quickly.
1There are no words to describe Louis Gohmert. He exudes stupidity! How did he graduate law school and become a judge of all things. Glad I was never in his court.
2He took a taxi to Cambridge?!! The train is so much cheaper, and I would think faster.
3TOTBAL!
Wonder how many massages Louie had for that shocking amount of money. As long as they weren’t done by Greeks, he must think it’s OK.
4On one hand, the more he charges his campaign for, the less he has in the account to do anything else with.
On the other hand, it’s bad enough that he embarrasses Texas voters in this country, let alone doing it in other countries.
Well, I suppose the British are used to it– they have the mayor of London. It’s been a while since Yeltsin left the scene and I’d been wondering when we’d get another politician named Boris who was a horse’s ass. But I don’t think Johnson’s actually stupid, which is a claim that can’t be made about Louie.
5Ha! Where did that fecking taxi take him? Scotland and back?
Also the Andaz charges around £300 a night UK sterling which is about $210.
6Hey, what ya gonna say when Sarah Palin hits the Cambridge Debating Society on March 2nd?

7BTW, don’t think Louie was all that much of a draw, 302 invited, 48 turned up…

8Folks, you gotta admit, Louie Gohmert has taken insanity and stupidity to a whole new level. Louie is now the standard against which all future lunatics and morons will be measured.
9Today a guest speaker at a meeting laughed with us about the fact that Louie isn’t the speaker of the house.
10Isn’t this the outfit that has invited Sarah Palin to speak in the near future???
11I remember some years ago fiscal conservatives put up clocks to show how fast the national debt was increasing.
I would love to see CSPAN do something similar with Louie when he’s rambling on at the podium in the House; run a ticker on the bottom of the screen listing his campaign expenditures one after another.
12I wonder how many times that cab driver took Louie around the traffic circle.
13AnnetteK, you converted in reverse. £300 is about $455.
14As long as we’re talking about losers, what’s the word on Steve Stockman these days?
15Can we just put him on the “no-fly” list?
This man is a total embarrassment to the State of Texas, and the United States of America.
The least we could do is keep him at home.
Good Grief!
16Miemaw, you bet! In a comfortable locked attic where he is fed a supply of that famous chewing gum that locks up the human speech capacity! Trust me. He will never figure out why he loses his voice so often.
17The association of Louie and “no-fly” led to an immediate mental image of him being sprayed and swatted….
18maggie, we might want to try a different gum. There are no facts in evidence that Loopy Louie possesses human speech capacity or that he is human.
Donald, call the Birthers, you’re going to Nacogdoches, birth certificate check needed District 1. Take Ben Carson with you to determine why he’s still breathing absent a brain.
19Oh yeah, thanks Rhea.
That’ll teach me to blog tired.
20And yet not as funny as the notion of Lindsey Graham as President: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/lindsey-graham-2016-elections-south-carolina-114362.html?hp=b2_c1
211smartcanerican says @ 2-
22Many judicial positions in Texas are elective (and partisan). Given the Loopy Louie’s location in Deep East Texas you needn’t look any further than the voters in that area (if you’re not from Texas, cue up the “Deliverance” theme music– that’s a cheap shot of course, there are many decent people there, just not enough of ’em).
Louis was appointed by pRick Perry.

You can’t expect someone with the stature of a Gohmert to go slumming on the taxpayers dime, now can you?
24Fred Farklestone, however many taxpayers dimes Loopy Louie sucks down, how can we keep him from turning any place he stays into low-rent st00pid?
Rhea says it best: “sprayed and swatted.” Similar to TNR (Trap, Neuter/Spay Release), but we need to rethink the release part regarding Louie.
25There is a good train service between Cambridge and London, fast efficient and reasonable.
26Cambridge is a very smart town/university with a well educated
populace, I am relieved to say that they have a very good sense
of humor. They are probably too well mannered to say what they really think of Louis.
Joan, they probably invited him for the laughs.
27The Bureau of Weights and Measures may adopt the “gohmert” as the unit of stupidity. PKM foreshadowed this at least a year ago.
28Old Radio Fans may well take to calling Louie “The Man with the Action Packed Expense Account” as he “investigates” the world
29on our behalf. Hey, if we don’t get into WWIII because of his
lack-luster intellect and fool mouth, well, we got off cheap.
maryelle, how would they figure the unit? it’s hard to have more than one gohmert of stupidity. Most things would have be to registered in microgohmerts, except for things like Fox News and talk radio.
30Rhea, you are right. for instance, Donald Trump might register as a 10 milligohmert, while Rush Limbaugh would be close to a 50 mg.
31maryelle and Rhea, please consider Loopy Louie as the “gold standard” of st00pid. 1 gohmert=st00pid. As you ladies know, there is no such thing as a little bit pregnant; one is or one isn’t. Plus, we can’t use technical terms like micro and mega, which would confuse the science denial crowd. Seriously, no decimals or powers of gohmert to the Nth, please.
As it is, I am not sure there is much hope for introducing simple multiplication to Tea Baggers. Back to 1 gohmert=st00pid.
Consider the example of Joni Ernst, who claimed that an 8% approval rating was a good thing for Congress. In her words, “on a scale of 1-10, 8 is good.” That earns her a 3 gohmert, at least.
On the gohmert number line, anyone less st00pid that Louie should be rated as “not quite as dumb as Louie,” how great is that faint ‘compliment’? No negative numbers needed; plus there is no way the GOP would understand the concept, anyway.
Let’s keep it simple for the GOP. Arithmetic. In fact, let’s use Joni’s 1-10 scale with Louie being the baseline. It’s like parsing dumb, dumber and dumbest. 10 gohmerts=call the coroner.
32I worked for 30 years for an organization that sponsored annual conferences and workshops, invited specialists in the field to present to our professional staff, and establish ongoing international mentorship programs.
That said, I’m unconvinced that Mr. Gohmert undertook this (unadvised) adventure without recompense from his campaign account. Simply put, that man is trying to double-dip.
Good on CREW.
