Today's Dispatches From The Stupid Party

We're going to have to create a whole separate wing in this feature just for the Stupid Party's Representative from the 1st District in Texas, Rep. "Screwie Louie" Gohmert.  The pea-brain keeps laying on the dumb -- and not just dumb, but incredibly insensitive, heartless dumb:
At a congressional committee hearing to discuss a proposed measure to criminalize abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a Texas lawmaker [ed. - that would be Gohmert] told a woman who made the difficult choice to terminate a non-viable pregnancy that she should have carried the fetus to term anyway — even though an MRI had already revealed that he was missing a large part of his brain and didn’t have much chance of survival.
Perhaps Gohmert feels a kinship with anyone missing a large part of their brain?  It's hard to imagine, but Gohmert was recently reelected with 70 percent of the vote.  Was the 1st District gerrymandered to include every knuckle-dragging moron in east Texas?
