July, 2020, is one of those months in which the calendar and my blog schedule align to offer three Ass Clown Award opportunities - Right-Cheek, Left-Cheek, and On-Crack. We have come down to the very last day of this sorry month with one last opportunity to focus dishonor on a deserving individual, and so I announce that the award for
The On-Crack Ass Clown for July, 2020
is presented to
Representative Louie Gohmert (R, TX-1)
Louie Gohmert has long been one of the most bizarre gadflies in Congress, a reliable source of conspiracy theories, disruption, and useless noise. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, he has seldom worn a mask (and has reportedly forbidden his staff members from wearing them) and refused to practice social distancing, insisting that the pandemic is a distraction concocted by Democrats to make Der Furor look bad.
In a striking bit of timely karma, on the very day that the Covid-19 death toll in the United States passed 150,000, Mr Gohmert was informed that he has tested positive for the disease.
Of course, Mr Gohmert had a ready explanation for his infection: "I can't help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place, that if I might have put some germs or some of the virus onto the mask and breathed it in."
And to demonstrate that he's all about the medical science around the disease, in a Wednesday night interview, Mr Gohmert told Fox News gadfly Sean Hannity that he would start taking the drug hydroxychloroquine in the coming days.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, the On-Crack Ass Clown for July, 2020, is Texas Representative Louie Gohmert. One hopes that someday, like Covid-19 in Der Furor's dreams, he'll just disappear.
Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow, when we try to take our minds off current events with another visit to Cartoon Saturday. See you then.

Great choice. Despicable man.
Face palm for Louie.
Excellent choice. You never fail to skim the cesspool surface for an exemplary Ass Clown. And on-crack no less; sort of makes it special for him. I've long wondered why his district ever voted him into office. I always thought a Congressional Representative would be like NOT him. By the end of his political career, there will be a viral expression: "Don't be a gohmert."
