Shut Up Fool! Awards- GOP's Trippin' Edition

It's Friday and that means TransGriot readers it's time for this week's edition of the Shut Up Fool Awards.

For those of you who may be surfing here for the first time, every week I shine a bright light on the stupidity and fools among us.  There were plenty of fools to choose from this week, so let's get to it.

The contenders for this week's award were Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) ,2010 Shut Up Fool of the Year Sarah Palin, Rep Mike Pence (R-IN)  Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) , Bill O'Reilly,  2009 Shut Up Fool of the Year award winner Michael Steele, Gov. Paul LePage (R-ME) and Gov. Robert Bentley (R-AL)

But this week's award goes to Rep Louie Gohmert. (R-TX)  

While taking part in a Tuesday press conference Republican Reps. Steve King (R-IA), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Tom Price (R-GA), Jeff Duncan (R-SC) and Steve Pearce (R-NM)  to pimp their efforts to kill the Health Care Reform Act stated while holding up a copy of the bill

“You need to understand how insidious this bill is,” Gohmert said. “This was written by smart people hoping that there would only be a few things removed.”

You prove every time you open your mouth you're not one of those smart people.   As a matter of fact the more you open your mouth, the more embarrassing you are to the city of Tyler that you represent and the entire Lone Star State.  

Used to be that Texas sent leaders, statesmen and stateswomen to Congress such as Speaker Sam Rayburn, Sen Ralph Yarborough, Sen and later President Lyndon Johnson, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, Rep Barbara Jordan, Rep Mickey Leland, Sen John Tower just to name a few.

Now we have people like Louie Gohmert representing this state, and not well.

Rep Louie Gohmert, shut up fool!
