Rep. John Fleming (R-LA): Today’s “Dumbo” Award Winner

Congratulations to….

 

Rep. John Fleming (R-LA)

Today’s “Dumbo” Award Winner

 

 

In November 2008, Johnny succeeded in duping the voters in the greater Shreveport area into electing him to the U.S. Congress.

 

Johnny is a loony crusader that is hell-bent on forcing his so-called morals on everyone else in regards to the use of marijuana. In a recent (01/26/15) appearance on the Un-Family Research Council’s Washington Watch radio show, Johnny told comedian host Tony Perkins that people would likely become meth addicts and dependent on government assistance if marijuana laws weren’t changed. Johnny then told Tony Perkins’ low I.Q. listeners:

  • Marijuana is a gateway drug, we have proven that scientifically.” (Who is “we” the scientists you speak of Johnny?)
  • “To think that today’s meth user was not yesterday’s marijuana user is actually just a flight of fantasy.’

The Moron then warned that the government would soon begin arresting cigarette smokers while ignoring marijuana use. He went on to say:

  • “Pretty soon you’ll see someone stopped on the street corner who is smoking and the policeman says, ‘I’m going to have to fine you or arrest you for smoking a cigarette,’ and they go, ‘no that’s marijuana,’ ‘oh that’s ok, it’s just marijuana.”
  • “That’s really the direction we’re heading in.”

Of course Johnny cannot cite any actual (reliable) scientific evidence to support his whacky arguments. And the reason he can’t, is because they don’t exist.

 

Since Johnny was born in 1951, one must wonder if he actually had some personal experience with the weed while attending college in Mississippi. It wouldn’t be unprecedented for someone of Johnny’s ilk to attack some entity or group to disguise their membership in such a group and/or to remain hidden in the closet.

 

Congrats Johnny; keep up the good work! We should let everyone know of your amazing record as one of Americas Least Appreciated “Dumbos”; you are far too humble.
