REP. LOUIE GOHMERT (R-TX): “They’re gonna pass this on the backs of the armed forces. This should not be passed by anyone unless they eat it. If they eat it, then I’m in favor of them passing it, otherwise, don’t pass it.” Fuck is he talking about? [Media Matters]

That’s what we get when dumb slobs vote for a guy named Louie.

Doglessliberal March 16, 2010 at 3:27 pm

So he is openly soliciting oral sex on the House floor?

sra March 16, 2010 at 3:30 pm

Jim’s not dead!

EdFlinstone March 16, 2010 at 3:30 pm

OK we print it on rice paper, no problem Louie.

Fire up the WAYBAC machine and bring Fat Nadler back. He’ll eat anything.

The Huffington Pogue March 16, 2010 at 3:30 pm

It’s no coincidence this proposition was made *after* Jerry Nadler’s gastric bypass.

JMP March 16, 2010 at 3:31 pm

Looks like someone has gotten jealous of all the attention Michelle Bachmann and Steve King have been getting.

Zadig March 16, 2010 at 3:31 pm

The Speaker recognizes Representative Gohmert Pile…

Monsieur Grumpe March 16, 2010 at 3:32 pm

I believe he’s talking about pooping.

SmutBoffin March 16, 2010 at 3:33 pm

The guy’s name is GOHMERT? Like, “Gomer” with a “T”?

You are making this up.

torera March 16, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Is he referring to the Amurrican armed forces who while serving and afterwards get government health care?

GIJoeIce March 16, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Reminds me of this scene from Red Dragon

Gohmert: “He ate the whole bill! Sha-ZAM! Hey Goober, sew your fingers up and talk like Cary Grant!”

grendel March 16, 2010 at 3:34 pm

[re=531580]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Seriously… he just made a high-brow poop joke on the floor of the House

prizepig March 16, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Ahhh, I see what you did there

passing=pooping

Accordion-o-rama March 16, 2010 at 3:35 pm

Eat it, Gomer.

EdFlinstone March 16, 2010 at 3:36 pm

Im a Gohmert tomorrow, I worked out real hard t’day.

SmutBoffin March 16, 2010 at 3:36 pm

I sorta prefer this rhetoric to all the RAM IT DOWN OUR THROATS talk.

Still dumb, though.

V572625694 March 16, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Democracy is a beautiful thing to see, isn’t it? The reason that the House of Representatives is not the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body (as is the US Senate, just ask them) is because of it being populated at least in part with morans like this.

Zadig March 16, 2010 at 3:37 pm

[re=531581]SmutBoffin[/re]: It’s not that it’s immune to satire. It already IS satire.

freakishlystrong March 16, 2010 at 3:37 pm

NEWELL!!1

Actually, isn’t this the same fuck that called HRC “an abortion” this a. m. to the roars of the millions of teabaggers? That I linked to in an earlier post? Yes.

Naked Bunny with a Whip March 16, 2010 at 3:38 pm

If there’s one thing the armed forces hate, it’s excessive government spending.

PabaBritannica March 16, 2010 at 3:39 pm

The congressman would like to cede the rest of his time to the representative from North Carolina, Mr. Fife.

“We gotta nip this thing in the bud!”

nappyduggs March 16, 2010 at 3:39 pm

Get to chewing then. You old backed-up assholes could use some fiber in your diets.

SayItWithWookies March 16, 2010 at 3:39 pm

Wait — he was saying earlier today that the HCR bill was an abortion. And now he wants people to eat it? WTF are they doing over at the C-Street house anyway?

Extemporanus March 16, 2010 at 3:41 pm

I MADE YOUZ A BILL BUT I EATED IT. :(

Way Cool Larry March 16, 2010 at 3:42 pm

Ah, he’s from Texas. That explains it.

nappyduggs March 16, 2010 at 3:42 pm

“This should not be passed by anyone unless they eat it. If they eat it, then I’m in favor of them passing it, otherwise, don’t pass it.”

Also, seeing that he is a Republican type of fellow, it comes as no surprise that he is into colon advocacy.

Talkin’ shit, man.
[re=531597]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]:

comicbookguy March 16, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Hang on, so if someone eats the bill, he will vote yes? Am I the only one thinking, crazy as it is that’s one more vote? This could be the tipping point. Come on Obama, step up to the plate! What are you willing to do for the American people?

Extemporanus March 16, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Louie should just take a clue from the dog in the “Kill the Bill” cinematic masterpiece: try gnawing at it a couple times, then take a huge shit on it and walk away.

Katydid March 16, 2010 at 3:50 pm

Oddly appropriate Black Flag cover lyrics of Louie, Louie

Louie, Louie!
We gotta go.
I said now Louie, Louie!
We gotta go.

You know the pain, that’s in my heart,
It just shows, I’m not very smart.
Who needs love, when you’ve got a gun?
Who needs love, to have any fun?
I said now Louie, Louie!
We gotta go!

Said, now screwie Louie!
We gotta go.
Louie, Louie!
We gotta go.
I said now Louie, Louie!
We gotta go!

Hallux Valgus March 16, 2010 at 3:50 pm

This will be in every one of his opponent’s ads this fall. And in 2011, Whereverthefuck, TX will be represented by a goat.

JMP March 16, 2010 at 3:54 pm

[re=531582]torera[/re]: Actually, that makes his inference make some sense. See, if all Americans had access to government health care, then there would be even less incentive to volunteer to go get shot at in a foreign war being fought for no good reason, and recruitment rates would get even worse.

Or, maybe he’s just expressing his desire to get on the back of a strong, manly military man, who will eat it for him.

Cape Clod March 16, 2010 at 3:54 pm

Thank God that you are alive, Newell. We were worried.

Republican talking points now brought to you by wierd Al Yankovic.

He wants us to get more fiber in our diets. Its the Texas alternative to health care reform -fiber and poop, for the troops.

UnattendedConsequence March 16, 2010 at 3:56 pm

Apparently political speech now properly includes absolutely anything at all. There is nothing so stupid that it cannot be spoken to good effect on the floor of the house of representatives. The absurd has become banal.

I say let’s defenestrate the lot of them and start over.

Naked Bunny with a Whip March 16, 2010 at 4:02 pm

So does Gohmert always vote for bills based on his willingness to physically eat them? I can respect consistency, at least.

Tommmcatt March 16, 2010 at 4:06 pm

You are posting from a wireless network from a stripper’s apartment in Vegas because you can’t find your pants, right?

I remember youth.

Smoke Filled Roommate March 16, 2010 at 4:06 pm

If they eat it, of course they will pass it after awhile.

comicbookguy March 16, 2010 at 4:07 pm

And thus began the Great Tea Party Revolution of ’10, when all the nation’s laws were replaced by doughnuts.

Next up: The omnibus reconciliation omelet.

Berkeley Bear March 16, 2010 at 4:10 pm

No need to say Louie Gohmert and “shouts angry nonsense” – it is redundant. I don’t know if the man can speak in a normal tone of voice or say anything sane.

give us a bob March 16, 2010 at 4:10 pm

[re=531627]UnattendedConsequence[/re]: Oh dear, I fear we would get too caught up in the fun of defenestration and neglect to return to serious matters.

lawrenceofthedesert March 16, 2010 at 4:10 pm

[re=531625]Extemporanus[/re]: Nah, I am skeptical of that alternative medicine stuff. So is Mikey.

It looks like eating and passing this thing is just giving the guy gas.

natoslug March 16, 2010 at 4:20 pm

I’ll step up and eat the bill if Texas secedes first.

GOPCrusher March 16, 2010 at 4:24 pm

Doesn’t matter WHAT you say, as long as you say it loudly and with conviction.

Jukesgrrl March 16, 2010 at 4:28 pm

Shouldn’t he be full from eating fish?

GOPCrusher March 16, 2010 at 4:29 pm

Is the bill going to be printed on 2700 slices of whole wheat bread?

comicbookguy March 16, 2010 at 4:31 pm

So I was on the toilet this morning when my breakfast burrito decided to launch a filibuster. I used almost a whole roll of cloture paper.

libwakman March 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm

If this bill can fit up my republican anal cavity, I will vote for it..it will pass eventually anyole’ ways.

Yeah, that guy is my Congressman. That’s a big part of why I’ve lost all faith in government.

How interesting that just days later Rep. Gohmert was probably the one who shouted “Baby Killer” at Rep. Stupak during deliberations for major health care related votes.
