Give Me Back My C-Span, Louie!
Have you ever felt like every damn time you turn on C-Span, there is Louie Gohmert blabbing?
Have you ever wondered how one man can say so many dumb things?
Have you ever felt like he’s hogging all the stoopid?
Well, Bubbie, it ain’t just you.
It’s really happening.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) logged the most speaking time on the House floor this year out of his more than 400 colleagues.
Capitol Hill staffers are accustomed to looking up at C-SPAN at the end of the legislative day and seeing Gohmert delivering long-winded “special order” speeches for 30 to 60 minutes at a time, multiple times per week. Gohmert clocked in about 29 hours on the floor in 2014, according to C-SPAN data.
Hell, you could let Neil deGrasse Tyson talk that much and even he would eventually say something ignorant.
Hell, there wasn’t even a second place. Seriously. Steve King, the mega-conservative from Iowa, logged the next highest number at 10 hours, which is about a third as much as Louie.
So, that means by scientific measure that Louie won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
Our best hope is that he’ll wear-out.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
Have to disagree … I think Neil could talk twice that much and still not say anything stupid 🙂 But then, he’s extraordinary in a good way.
1Loopy Louie, forever opening his mouth and removing all doubt ….
2Health Warning: Just listening to Louie for 5 minutes will lower your IQ by 10 points for 2 days. His speeches are like lava flowing from an active volcano, destroying whatever they touch and burying it under inert black crusty stuff.
3This won’t stop ’til Louie’s mothership comes back for him.
4Let the world take note: Louie Gohmert is officially the Superman of Stupid.
5I am neither a fan of Loopy Louie nor Neil deGrasse Tyson … I feel they both like to hear themselves talk way too much!! They are like the big pink battery bunny … they just go on and on and on ad naseum!!
6The best part of Louie’s speeches?
They’re a cheap replacement for sleeping pills.
7Marcia in CO said “I am neither a fan of Loopy Louie nor Neil deGrasse Tyson…I feel they both like to hear themselves talk way too much!!”
True. But if I had to choose to listen to one of them, it wouldn’t be Louie. I can’t afford to give away the IQ points.
8Lorraine, Louie’s speeches give me nightmares. It’s not even so much what he said as that a whole lot of people voted for him.
9LynnN – Maybe that’s the way to get Louis put out to pasture. Tie all his supporters down in front of their TVs and make them watch and listen to Louie on C-SPAN … every damn minute of him. Even they wouldn’t be able to take it.
10Does C-SPAN not filter ANYTHING????????

In a word Louie, yes.
12Lynn N, Louie’s slow talkin’ makes me crazy (Or craziER, as my dear hubby says). I just want to pull the words outta his mouth.
Then wash his mouth out with Super Glue.
13Gohmert proves the old adage: “He who speaks most, says least.”
14Ted Cruz wins the prize for Most Likely To Flatten His Mother To Get To A Microphone Or Camera. Louie, bless his heart, is trying, but he doesn’t even realize that nobody with enough gumption to punch a remote button listens to long speeches on C-SPAN. Somebody try to tell him so he can shut up and save himself further embarrassment.
15Rhea, the next time Daffy Cruz, Jr. is racing for a microphone, I have a nice little donation for Sen. Boxer, Rep. Pelosi, Rep Wassermann-Schultz or the first woman sporting the “D” who body checks his sorry carcass Avalanche style into the knees of the nearest bimbo holding a mic with the Fox logo. And yes, Sean and Bilge O qualify as bimbos.
Loopy Louie? Simply redecorate and sound proof his office. Remove the desk and replace it with a high chair, tell him the baby rattle is a mic and let him drool away.
16This guy started years ago just talkin’ to himself all by his lonesome and look where it got him. The limbo of C-span. Whoopee.
17To the Other Jean … I choose to not listen to either of them.
