Y’all, It’s Louie Again.
Louie, Louie … Oh Louie, you’ve dived into the deep end.
Speaking on the House floor Friday afternoon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) claimed President Obama’s foreign policy in the Middle East was “a massive beginning of a new Ottoman Empire that [he] can take great credit for.” Gohmert continued, “This president is trying to buy affection from people who are bullies, who are radical Islamists, who want to destroy us.” The Texas Republican has a history of Islamophobic behavior.
Somebody please tell Louie what caused the fall of the Ottoman Empire – ethnic battles within the empire. You know, the same kind of battles that Louie hopes will bring down the United States of America.
Damfool.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
I thought the Ottoman Empire conquered the Persians and the Arabs, both groups primarily Muslims. To Loco Louie, wouldn’t that be a good thing?
1Too bad a psychiatric evaluation in not a prerequisite to running for office. If it was, Louie and some of his friends would be spending some time in the rubber room hilton.
2I went to your link and then in the comments there was a link for Suleiman the Law Giver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suleiman_the_Magnificent.
If only Louie would do a little research he would know that the Ottoman Empire wasn’t all bad. Yes, they conquered a great deal of Europe and Asia however, the descendents of that empire lived well and prospered for a good time after his reign.
Boy, I love this blog I learn new stuff every day.
3Until Louie looked on Wikipedia he thought the Ottoman Empire was a furniture store.
4Sam in Kyle … you simply crack me up! I love it when someone’s statement just makes me burst out laughing … and your’s surely did that for me!!
I’ve got to put dumb Louie on my Facebook page … this man is so pathetically stupid, he gives rise to why abortion should be legal and, in his case, mandatory!! What a complete idiot!
5Louie sure has a way of showing up regularly.
6Louie’s regularity gives fiber a bad name!
7Urh. This fool is my representative, how ya think I feel?
Don’t bother with his FB page. He never does anything except worry about when his next Fox appearance is. I’m on his email list and literally, that is ALL I ever get from him, a list of his next upcoming Fox appearances.
And yes, I agree, he’s in dire need of a psychiatric examination. He should take Perry with him after the “Satan statement”; they could probably get a good two-fer deal.
8Actually I think he dived into the shallow end and hit his head. Ironically, his comment about “people who are bullies, who are radical Islamists, who want to destroy us” perfectly describes his own crew with a single word change.
9I think Louie tripped over the ottoman one too many times.
10Louie must be the posterboy for the quote “If you took all the idiots out of the [Texas] lege, it wouldn’t be a representative body”.
11Why isn’t there one good person in East Texas to run against this twerp?
12I’m so sick of all Texans being classed as idiots because of this stupid s— having a national voice.
Oh, by the way, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
13According to a new Texas Monthly article, so few Texans vote, we no longer live in a democracy!
MCPO RET
14It is east Texas.. If youve been there then you understand. He is the shiniest bulb in the box. Sad I know. Bless his heart.
I cannot believe that this man is a lawyer?
15Then again I can.
Mitt, rick santorum, michelle bachman…..

16I was raised in Bonham and my daughter went to A&M Commerce for a couple of years.
I know that part of my state is full of inbred goobers, but I also know that there are a lot of good, smart educators and lawyers up there.
It’s a shame that the Louies and bat—- preachers control most of our state.
Every time I look at his face I think of Gomer pyle!
17Over here in East Texas we refer to Gohmert simply as “Goober”. There is a very qualified and viable Democrat running against Goober in the next election. She is beginning to get traction and contributions. Her name is Shirley Mc Keller. She is an Iraqi war veteran. Private polls are indicating that Goober is vulnerable because of the continued revelations of his stupidity. Help out Ms. Keller if you can.
18Yeah, really. There are a few of us in East Texas who can do the arithmetic AND chew gum at the same time. I agree with Mr. Welch (who I haven’t met yet) on helping McKellar take the seat away from Gohmert. VoteMcKellar.com is a good place to start.
19If I had some money I’d give it to Ms. McKeller. I think if I had a choice, I’d almost rather see him go than Ricky.
