For many years the title of Craziest Federal Legislator was crystal clear. It was Michele “Batshit” Bachmann. It was not even close. Now that she is no longer in the House, there are several contenders, such as “Pig Nuts” Ernst (R-IA), “Idiot, Son of Idiot, Named after Idiot” Paul (R-KY), and “Uranus Inspector” Cruz (R-TX). However, the leading contender may well be “Go-Go Goosestep” Gohmert (R-TX).
I see America’s Dumbest Congressman has returned to the House in fine form.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) called on American leaders to emulate Egypt’s military dictator, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi–a man who orchestrated a coup d’etat and has presided over the killing of more than a thousand dissidents.
Gohmert made the remarks on Wednesday in a speech from the House floor denouncing radical Islam, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“I hope one day that our top leaders in this country will have the courage of president el-Sisi in Egypt and they will reflect, as general el-Sisi has, the will of the people of their country,” Gohmert stated.
You don’t see congressmen praising dissident-killing military dictators quite as often as you used to, but for Louie that was just the side dish. The main course was supposing the current president was a Sekrit Muslim working with the Muslim Brotherhood to make America Muslimy, and you know it must be true because:
Gohmert once again suggested that President Obama is secretly a Muslim, citing an incident in the 2008 primary season when then-candidate Obama mistakenly said he had visited 57 states, which Gohmert contends was an accidental reference to the 57 members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
We’re through the looking glass, people. Oh, and also? Louie Gohmert says he is not a crackpot…
Inserted from <Daily Kos>
Go-Go loves Egypt’s Fascist dictator, because he engineered a Second Amendment solution, the path to political power that Go-Go favors here. There’s a reason that he claims he isn’t a crackpot. He is afraid that the SPCC (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Crackpots) will sue him for defamation of character.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Daily Kos – the Right Wing seem to be in a daily competition to please their billionaire bosses don't they? Do they get a reward from them when they spout such tripe?
Thanks TC!
If you have to tell people you are not a crackpot, chances are, you are a crackpot. Gohmert is probably in the dictionary under Crackpot.
Loon Louie has a superiority complex too. He's having hissy fits over this.

I'm having a hissy fit too, but only because I didn't get Issa's picture to put on my dart board!
Glad that Issa's portrait was removed and regulated elsewhere. Issa has costed the tax-payers millions and millians of dollars and is reponsible for what is happening to the USPS. Did you see the size of that portrait? Even I couldn't miss that portrait board with a dart. lol.
Thanks Patty–sad anyone objects to Chaffetz stating intent to actually do the intended work of the committee. So he wants fascism?
Fascism
Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Influenced by national syndicalism, fascism originated in Italy during World War I, combining more typically right-wing positions with elements of left-wing politics, in opposition to liberalism, Marxism, and traditional conservatism.

Louie Gohmert is a poster child for anosognosia in everyday life. What is anosognosia, you may ask? Well, "anosignosia is a condition in which a person who suffers from a disability seems unaware of or denies the existence of his or her disability." Yes, it is the name of a specific neurological disorder. But it's also a great was to express that "if you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent." Because "the skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is." It's also known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's why Louie Gohmert maintains he is not a crackpot – because crackpots do not have the skills necessary to recognize a crackpot. And, yes, Congress is full of them. That kind of confidence can be very, very charismatic.
Louie is eligible under the ACA aka Obama-care for the "Half-Wit Protection Program".
Well, say all you want about Looney Louie – but unlike Attorney General Holder, I have NO plans to be casting aspersions on Gohmert's asparagus!

Freedom of speech is what Gohmert exemplifies quite well in American politics. No where else in the world could a politician speak like Gohmert and get away with it.
Yes, Gohmert takes the "title" of being the new contender of "Batshit" or otherwise may well be known as "crackpot". Often wonder how his constituents and family feel about him every time he speaks his overcooked crock potted "mind" if he has one left. Are they embarrassed or in agreement… Joanne's diagnosis appears spot on of "anosignosia" for Louie. lol.
Goh-merde looks and acts like an older Gomer Pyle, and I can even hear him saying "golleeee". But the difference is in intelligence . . . Gomer's IQ is much, much higher! Hard to believe that this jackass is a judge. He must have taken his licence out of a Cracker Jack box.
I agree the others are contenders, but Pig Nuts hasn't been around long enough yet, Cruz is more crazy like a fox (don't trust him with the good silver or your daughter), and Paul, I don't know, he is arand the place somewhere.
Ooooh – cool pun.
Gomer Gohmert. He is the epitome of a Gomer!
I am really getting worried about Texas, their leaders are worse than Kentucky's! I shared the Daily Kos article on FB. How dumb can you be and still be elected…… oh wait, I forgot about Rand.
Oh the poor crackpots whose character yopu have impugned.
