I'm indescribably relieved that the dumbest man in the United States House of Representatives, Louie Gohmert, can now be treated early for his most unfortunate covid affliction. I want Louie to hang around and be reelected by Texas' 1st congressional district another 20 times before he finally succumbs to chronic stupidity. I mean, who else could so naturally have come up with this?
"I can't help but think that if I hadn't been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I wouldn't have gotten it. But, you know, moving the mask around, getting it just right, are bound to have put some virus on the mask. That's most likely what happened."
GOP @RepLouieGohmert, who just tested positive for COVID-19 tells a reporter he blames wearing a mask for his result: "I can't help but think that if I hadn't been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I would have gotten it." pic.twitter.com/S6l2xU2oiL

My only regret? His infection was detected on the morning of the day he was to have flown to Texas with Trump on Air Force One — up close and personal, as they say. So Louie got bumped. Damn!
The upside? Here's a shot from Tuesday: That's Attorney General Bill Barr (unmasked) on the right, and Gohmert (unmasked), on the left — not far behind at all. So there's still hope.
