I propose that an annual award be considered to recognize members of Congress who
have most exemplified the brand of jaw-dropping mean-spirited ignorance so proudly promulgated by Rep. Gohmert. It would, predictably, be known as "the Louie" and would provide the "winner" with a one pound bundle of fresh asparagus, suitable for "casting".
The current year's "Louie" nominees should include Ron Johnson, Matt Baetz, Joni Ernst and Marsha Blackburn, but I am sure there are several other "worthy" empty vessels.
