Louie, Y’all.
I know that Donald Trump is hogging all the crazy now, but Louie managed to get some notice by jumping on the Trump.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) praised Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump this week for improving the recent debate “immeasurably.”
Speaking to Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg on Tuesday, Gohmert said that he had met Trump once during an event in New Hampshire.
“We met, our faces are six inches apart,” Gohmert recalled. “And he says, ‘Louie Gohmert!’ And he starts punching me in the chest. ‘I love you, you’re great! You’re really great! I love what you’re doing! Did you get my contribution?’”
“It’s hard to feel badly toward someone that keeps telling you how great you are and they send you money,” the congressman laughed.
Gohmert explained that he had promised to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for president, but Trump was an attractive candidate.
Honey, compared to Ted Cruz, Louie is attractive.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
“It’s hard to feel badly toward someone that keeps telling you how great you are and they send you money,”
I’ll give Louie this much, he doesn’t pretend his vote or endorsement isn’t for sale.
1Rick, Louie is special. According to the numbers provided by Alfredo, Louie is especially cheap. With the minimum donations required to keep Louie, it’s a good bet that he wears holes in his socks.
T-Rump sucks all the oxygen out of the rooms and Jeb? has sucked up most of the donor money. Koch boys will need to dig deeper into their pockets to distribute more crumbs.
2It’s Hair Envy on Louie’s part (if he had anything to part). Ask JJ.

4Are you referring to the muskrat that homesteads T-Rump’s forehead and occasionally is heard to shout “Help someone cut this wart off my a$$”?
He said he liked me and gave me money. Something hookers have said from the beginning of time. Sigh.
5Louie. When he asked, “Did you get my contribution?” he was asking if you were still bought.
Looks like you (still) are.
6Good Gawd compared to Cruz, TRUMP is attractive, muskrat and all 😛
7I think Louis misheard Trump. I’m sure Trump said things like “Love this guy” and “great” but only to refer to himself.
Then again, if he though Louis was his puppet, then he might very well have perceived Louis as an extension of his own ego and so it was okay to praise Louis.
I just rarely see Trump sharing complements of another person without somehow it relating back to his own narcissism.
8Nothing like an uninvited, unexpected, un-welcomed self-funding candidate to upset the Koch “do as we say” plan.
Republicans now have a clear choice: rich, crazy, all over the place guy—or boring corporate dictator duo.
9Trump is attractive to Louie or is it his bankroll?
10Trump thinks Louie is great and sent him a contribution. Dang, it *was* possible for my opinion of Trump to sunk even lower. Unless he wants Louie around for comedy value, or to make Trump look like he’s not the biggest ass in the room.
11As I said before every election,the wingnut candidate will be extremely rich,extremely white and super extremely clueless how most people get on.
12A new nickname: Lay Down Louie.
13Here I thought Louie was checking out The Donald’s a$$, but guess he was just eyeballing the bankroll. Ted Cruz just can’t compete in that category, so Louie might have to switch his allegiance and follow that Trump money.
14If someone popped me in the chest and at the same time he said he liked me I would pop him in the nose. BOT, Micr … love your comment.
15Too much after work wine, MICR, that’s BTW not BOT.
16“Honey, compared to Ted Cruz, Louie is attractive.”
The bar just keeps getting set lower and lower dunnit?
GO BERNIE!
17This should be a cakewalk.
Our day just took a seriously sour note. Louie’s dumber cousin, also named Louie just bought a property a couple of miles from us. Jane was out on the veranda talking to the jack wagon, when I rode up and being that I had not had time to shower or care for my horse, I knew it was serious when she embraced me. There’s a rule on our ranch, Jane’s Rule: take care of horse, shower, then embrace wife.
In a nut shell, there’s more than one Louie and they are all dumber than inbred fence posts.
18It seems to go against the theory of “survival of the fittest” that in the Gohmert family, the dumb genes are the strongest ones. Maybe it’s like in the Bush family, and “dumb” is a relative term.
19Rubymay, “survival of the fittest” means the genes that are better at surviving current conditions are the ones that get passed along. Unfortunately current conditions can be favorable to glassbowls, so those genes are getting passed along too. We need to change things so that those genes die out.
20Micr, you made me laugh out loud and wake the dog.
21John Oliver aptly described Trump on the debate stage as
(leather) luggage with cheese whiz on top.
Birds of a feather flock together but all the birds I’ve ever seen do that eventually end up fighting over who gets how much of the nest and the food and it turns into an all out battle. Some birds even die fighting and others manage to get the hell away. My bet is on Trump getting the hell away cuz he’s the one with his own jet plane. That leaves only Louie sitting in whats left of the nest and suddenly feeling the cold.
22Whats left of the nest is usually a ring of dung around the edges and maybe a mess of biting mites
23Thanks, Rhea @20. Amen to that.
24Trump-Gohmert Ticket. When crazy takes over. (Of course, Trump-ANYONE Ticket could say the same)
I’m glad I just woke up, because this would definitely create some nightmares if I was heading to bed.
25I love that: ” compared to Ted Cruz, Louie is attractive.”
