When Your World Just Can’t Get Much Better
He’s gonna do it.
These two smiling faces made it official. Louie Gohmert is running for speaker of the house of representatives.
Yep, Louie chose the doofus Tucker Carlson to make his announcement.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) spoke to Tucker Carlson on Fox & Friends about the need for someone to step up and run against Speaker Boehner in this new Congress. He echoed what many House Members are saying that there needs to be new leadership, not just the status quo and he is happy to accept the challenge.
Well hell, if he’s going to speaking the most, might as well give him the title.
Let the popcorn popping begin!
Criminy.
1I think the Democrats should support him in this.
2It would show the world how loony the Republicans have gotten that they would even consider him for the position.
Agreed, Mike. Anything we can do to get Louie into the speaker’s position would bring down the teaparty movement faster than anything else I can think of.
3Grill that asparagus!
4Loopy Louie, we knew he was crazy. Now he has upped his game to full blown delusional. Never thought he would top this, but he has: http://crooksandliars.com/scarce/louie-gohmert-attorney-general-will-not-cas
Seriously, the producers at C-SPAN need to consult with Comedy Central, or take technology back one hundred years and become the Silent Channel.
5I thought on christmas morning when I opened a package
and got a gift card to buy basically hundreds of dollars worth
of books, I couldn’t have been happier.
Now Louie wants to be speaker.
I did not think it was possible for me to smile as much within a two week period in the same decade. Evah!
6He probably will get at least (1) vote.
Geesh, I wish I could still eat popcorn.
This is going to be fun political year to watch.
7Louie couldn’t lead a parade in a phone booth.
8i’ve been sitting here laughing out loud. LOUIE GOHMERT happy to take the challenge to replace John Boehner? Well, at least Boehner knows when to keep his mouth shut. Sort of. Laughing some more. They won’t accept Louie will they? Remember when GWB did all his stupid stuff and we all said “Oh, that can’t be true” but it was?
9Laughing on the way back to the coffee pot.
I see no downside here in either a Louie challenge or (if God wanted a good laugh) a Louie win.
10Louie, Louie. So adorable. Wish I knew the history of SOH to see if we’ve ever had someone of his caliber (measurement of a hollow cylinder) actually in that position. Surely not.
11The Republican’t party is like a bottle of non-homogenized milk:
12The cream definitely does not rise to the top. It’s already started to curdle.
Sorry, correction, “…a bottle of homogenized milk”.
13Miemaw –
14You might give Louie too much credit! I’d estimate about a 50/50 chance Louie can correctly vote for himself.
Louie just wants to make America the great melting pot. The scum rises to the top and everything on the bottom gets burned.
15I can think of few people less qualified than Boner.
Gomer tops the list.
You can’t make this swill up. Nobody’d believe you if you tried.
16I wonder if the Boner himself isn’t behind this. After all, Loopy Louie does make him look better by comparison.
17I love Henry’s imagery and will add one that I stole from somebody else:
The Democrats are like a box of chocolates– it’s not always clear where the nuts are. The Republicans are like a sundae– all the biggest nuts are right there on top.
There’s another image about septic tanks and big chunks that float, but I’ll leave that off for now.
18Mister Sam is laughing somewhere.
19As helpful as this outcome would be for Jon Stewart and the other comedians, I see two problems. 1. The President would have to deal with him. and 2. he would be in the line of sucession in the event of the President and Vice -President demise.
Otherwise , I’ll get out my popcorn too.
But, be careful what you wish for.
20Rick, speaking of giving Louie too much credit: 50/50 on being able to correctly vote for himself? Can we even credit him a 10% shot at being where he would need to be to vote?
With all the Koch money flying into Congress, Loopy Louie is still broke. Being in a hailstorm of money and coming up broke – that’s st00pid.
21Louie The Louse’s campaign slogan
He’s Stupid But Sober
22Come on y’all, we need another SOH from Texas don’t ya think? He would have to be pretty bad to not get more done than Boner though! I will save my laughter until all of the democrats and enough tea party members vote to elect “Good Old Louie”!
23Seriously, i bet there are some Retags who are now actually nostalgic about Nancy Pelosi! And no, I do not want Old Loopy in the presidential succession line. Conga line, OK, complete with funny hat.
24Holy Bat Crap … or guano for the asparagus!!
I swear these idiots become more delusional with every passing day and that may be giving them too much of a timeline … every passing hour or minute … SECOND!!
Where’s the Rapture when we really, really need it?!?
25@Carol- What an intriguing thought … if somehow fate led to Louie actually becoming President! Let your imagination run free for a few minutes and then tell me whether the expression on your face is one of hilarity or horror!
26I’m not sure they’re both smiling, J.J. Tucker looks like he has a little bitty frown on his confused-looking face and Loopy Louie looks as if he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. Which is the way he usually looks. Because he doesn’t. Have a clue, that is. They deserve each other, wouldn’t you say?
27I doubt if he has a snowball’s chance, but everything he does embarrasses the Republicans, so I wish him a long and successful career.
And I still want Extremist Ted Cruz to run for President.
28He even has a website! http://gohmertforspeaker.com/
29Oh blech. Ted Cruz. Blech blech blech.
30Louie HAD to make announcement with Tucker. Tucker is the only guy on TV that can make the Louster look even somewhat manly in comparison.
31I sure do miss Tip O’Neil.
32Old Mayfly, I’d settle for the days of C-SPAN prior to the Tea Bag explosion.
Gotta love those Sunday howl fests featuring a pot pie and a potted plant that pass as discussion today.
33I understand that Ted Yoho from Florida is also going to challenge orange man for SOH.
34Woohooo,
35Lunatic Louie as the new SOH, Randy (Searay) Neubarger (sp?) as Majority Leader, and Blake (‘Jamas) Farenthold as Majority Whip(man), could it get any better?
The best comedy in Texas is reading the comments on The Blaze
36to this exact same news. Y’all are a State of Extremes.
Just think of the possibilities…
The Speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the Vice President and ahead of the President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate.
37Wow. Much as I dislike Boehner, I think he’s pickled more brain cells than Louie started with!
38And Loopy Louie is calling Boehner a “dictator” … wait just a doggone minute … didn’t those Rightwing Nut Cases accused the Prez of being the dictator and a king, for cripes sake!?!
I wish these idiots would get their royalty references straightened out!! Dictator! King! Just who is who and what is whazzit?
