The Louie Gohmert Honorary Goofy Award
Republican Texas State Representative, Jonathan Stickland, is my choice for this year’s Louie Gohmert Goofball award.
He’s a doozy. Right here is living proof that he gave himself the title “Living Fetus” while serving Texas.
And that he certainly is proud of his second amendment rights.
Once his online alter-ego got uncovered, Stickland offered an apology for telling a fellow fantasy football site member that “rape is non existent in marriage, take what you want my friend!” in response to a 2008 request for sex advice on the forum. Yeah, you read that right, he was giving sex advice.
He admits to being a major marijuana user but says he quit commenting, “by the Grace of God my past sins are forgiven.”
The way I see it, this boy gets himself saved quarterly which is akin to a renewable Get Out Of Jail Free card for his past sins the previous three months. However, I think the Republican Party takes him down to the river and beats his head on a rock instead of dunking him. He just keeps getting dumber.
Now he’s railing against vaccines. He attacked Texas doctors claiming they were “men in white coats who think they know more than parents do” and only support vaccines because it makes them money.
“Make the case for your sorcery to consumers on your own dime,” tweeted Stickland. “Like every other business. Quit using the heavy hand of government to make your business profitable through mandates and immunity. It’s disgusting.”
Apparently, there is no vaccine against disgusting or the members of the legislature would have given him one by now.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
District 92: part of suburban Fort Worth.
1Grew up in Plano
2School in Richmond
Never graduated from high school; eventual GED
Community college courses in sales and marketing,
and then went to work in the extermination trade,
like Tom DeLay before him.
Well, OK.
3A man who gives himself a do-it-yourself plaque.
I can’t wait to see his trophy case.
joel hanes @2, what a coincidence. Not only are snocilbupeR on the wrong side of the issues, they always end up on the wrong end of the extermination hose, as demonstrated by Delay and Stickland.
Forced birther snocilbupeR exemplify every level of vile. Pence’s home state is currently ahead of TX in disgusting dumb and unnecessarily cruel. A child. Eleven years of age. Raped. Pregnant. And the idiots of Indiana are “no exceptions” level of law st00pid. They’re forcing a child to continue to term with her rapist’s forced impregnation.
4I can relate to folks whose educational plans fell flat, and feel discriminated against or disparaged in our high-stakes meritocracy of a nation. But this whole Ayn Rand libertarian nightmare of “I’m stupid and proud of it and want to force stupidity on America to avenge what my doctor gets paid per hour” needs to be put in a deep hole and buried.
5It takes real effort to make Louie look almost smart.
6I always say it takes a real contortionist to put your foot in your mouth while you have your head up your ass.
He can’t be a living fetus as when the pile of ignorant crap was born, the fetus no longer exists! Or when he is born he destroyed the fetus!!! A real abortionist!
7Fat as Trump And a lower IQ.
8Is he the love child of Louie and a FOX News Blond. ??
Just asking..
rastybob @8
Would his mother have drowned him at birth if she had known he was going to grow up to be an ignorant pr!ck?
9If this guy is peddling the notion that parents are smarter than physicians when it comes to their children’s health—then doesn’t it stand to reason that those same parents must be smart enough to handle their own insect extermination problems, without the aid of an “expert” like him?
He and Louie Gohmert are equally reprehensible—but at least Gohmert managed to stick with his education to the point of getting a law degree. (Never, ever make the mistake of assuming that all law school graduates are smart.)
10I think this guy is the poster boy for Pro-Choice, as in, don’t give birth to vermin. Maybe the buy killing juice ate what was left of his brain.
11If this were 200 years ago, and parents were offered a treatment to stop common diseases that caused death and disability for children (and adults), they would be desperate to get it. Now that those diseases are *uncommon*, some people think they should be optional. And by optional, I mean the diseases. Because that is what this comes down to.
And if they were able to restrict the risks to only those who “opt in” it might be merely stupid. But opting out puts everyone at risk if the prophylactic effects are partial or waning for any number of persons that should be covered if there were no clusters of infected hosts as seen by recent outbreaks. Looking at recent history shows that not only are antivaxers getting sick, they transmit the disease to clusters of other antivaxers/unvaccinated. And from there to anyone with susceptibility…
12Would I be surprised if he were found out doing something really, really illegal and even immoral? Nope. them that preach like this specimen does already have on and a half foot in hell.
13He needs to display a gun because his gut hangs over too far. Physique of a militia member.
14Really thinks immunization is a form of sorcery?
Texas is an amazing place.
15Looks like he has a hard time passing on the beer and chips, too. Butt whistle!
16Yep, the Glock seems to be bigger than anything else below his belt, and also seems to be the only thing he can still reach with his little bitty hands.
17Pathetic POS.
North Coast @ 17
Perhaps he was a T-Rex in a previous life, with a peanut sized brain and cranky because he couldn’t reach his…You know what I mean. Momma won’t let me say that here.
18Yep, he called vaccinations and modern medicine ‘sorcery’. He’s dumber than a wedge, and the wedge is the simplest tool of all.
Serious question: who’s dumber, him or the people who voted for him?
19JJ, “goofball” is not the word you want here. “A**h***” is the word you want.
20Man, is this guy like Farenthold 2? Same creepy vibe and look.
21Virginia I was thinking the same thing!
22Glancing at the pics, I thought “Gee, Matt Gaetz has really let himself go.”
And make no mistake; I’d like to let Gaetz and this guy go. Preferably over the rail of a cruise ship.
23Since this alleged person seems to be against modern medicine I recommend he NEVER EVER darken the door of a doctor’s office, urgent care facility or hospital EVER AGAIN in his life. Hang nail? Appendicitis? Heart attack? Hey buddy, you’re on your own. Pull out those tweezers and pen knife and get going. I recommend quilting thread for sutures. it’s thicker and stronger.
As for that heavy hand of government, we can quit giving breaks to oil companies, etc.? Good to know. Now we can spend that money on current and former fetuses (feti?) who really need it.
24District 92 is not a suburb of Fort Worth(less). It’s the towns of Hurst, Euless, Bedford (AKA Hurts, Useless, Bedframe). They are proud to not be associated with the fancy educated folks in FW.
What is priceless is Sticky telling a pediatrician and vaccination expert to “mind his own business”. Plus accusing him of only pushing vaccines because he profits from them (Peter Hotez accepts no money from vaccination pharma companies).
But the using the word “sorcery” is amazing. Outside of DnD meetings and Lord of the Rings movies, I have not heard that word used except by people using it admiringly. Here Sticky thinks it’s a clever put-down … but comes across as an ignoramus trying to sweep aside the expertise that comes from years of education and experience.
Oh, well. It’s H-E-B after all. I hope they are proud of what they have foisted upon the state.
25When the time comes that he has his coronary, and to look at him it won’t be too long, I’m sure he won’t look to a medical professional in a white coat for treatment. The internet will provide all of the medical treatment advise he’ll need.
I wish him the best.
26@Jeff A – The Internet is true sorcery! 😉
27It seems he just passed his first bill after seven years in the House.

28You’re expecting an awful lot from someone who went in to a business that pays him with stolen money.
29If I did business in the same manner as government does, and forced strangers to give me money, would you consider me a criminal?
