Over 300 people packed the atrium of the Omni Downtown Hotel in Austin Monday night for the Deep East Texas Reception. The event, honoring state officials and legislators representing the Deep East Texas region, was held the night before the convening of the 84rd Session of the Texas Legislature.
State officials and state agency administrators met and got acquainted with representatives of the event’s sponsors. Members of the Deep East Texas legislative delegation attended as guest of honor.
Congressman Louie Gohmert was recognized as the “Deep East Texas Legislator of the Year 2015.” The award is given biannually to a legislator that has shown outstanding efforts on behalf of the people of Deep East Texas.
Now I have never been to, or even heard of, Deep East Texas, but I already know I never want to go there.
I now imagine that is must be kind of like Australia in the 18th century. Meaning that it is the place where America sends its criminally insane sociopaths to keep them away from the regular folks.
I live in New Mexico, where we have a saying, "Poor New Mexico, so far from heaven, so close to Texas"!
ReplyDelete"Deep Texas" refers to the elevation of the area.
ReplyDeleteIn this instance it is the average pit depth of the local outhouses.
I've been to Texas, it's the pits.....believe me!
Do they raise a lot of asparagus there?

-----------------------
Yes, and they fertilize it with bullshit.
There are pockets of sanity.
DeleteAustin for one.
from wiki
ReplyDeleteThe "Deep" designation comes from the similarity to East Texas (it is similar in culture and topography, being highly forested), but with a location "deeper" (i.e., farther south and towards the Gulf Coast) than the rest of East Texas.
Undoubtedly endorsed by the pulpit lobby........

Deleteum, the pics are public. or youre just stupid
DeleteCan you go find a palin post for your comment?
DeleteLouie is an idiot. That speaks volumes about his constinuency/
ReplyDelete. . . where America sends its criminally insane sociopaths . . . did you say that Sarah Palin is now living in Deep East Texas?
ReplyDeleteWhat does Mrs. Louie Gohmert look like?
ReplyDeleteI'd have to guess she'd look somewhere
Deletebetween a mud fence, and a navigational buoy.
He looks like he's in elementary class wishing it was recess; or wishing the ice cream truck would drive by.
ReplyDeleteA Texas size IDIOT.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this country great?
ReplyDeleteI mean, seriously - even stupid people have a voice in the legislature!
All one needs to know about Texas - home of George W. Bush, Rick Perry and Louie Gohmert.

My parents moved to Louie Gohmert's district when they retired.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to be a life-long Republican. Now she's a Democrat.
I'd count her transformation as one of Louie's finest accomplishments as a legislator.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, my wife and I moved to Deep East Texas from Houston about three years ago.The first thing we learned was that there is nothing deep in East Texas. We found way too many Republicans, Rednecks and Religious Wackos which is why an idiot like Louie can get elected over and over. It;s like living among the Stepford Wifes.
ReplyDeleteI think my spell check is brooken.....
ReplyDeleteThis reads like an early April fool's joke. Texas is one state I have problems "reading". Went on business to San Antonio and they put us outside on a porch. The food came, and someone asked for the misters to be turned on. I'm sitting there with what looks like pee water "leaking" onto my plate, I call the waiter over, and he says "we've been having problems with that one for six months" WTF? Give me an umbrella, raincoat and boots or move us to another table. Got home depot,Texas? Half a year of people complaining, and they can't find the duct tape? Any wonder little louie got elected???
ReplyDeleteYeah, Louie looks like he'd have serious problems with "deep", thankfully for his wife, no problem with "fast". I wonder if Louie has any kids?
