22. Steve Stockman's still making a name for himself

Houston Chronicle
Feb 13, 2013

Like his friend Ted Nugent, the past-his-prime rocker and firearms fanatic, newly elected Congressman Steve Stockman, knows how to call attention to himself, even if the attention takes the form of jeers and derisive laughter.

Stockman, who represents the newly drawn 36th Congressional District, has made a name for himself after only a few weeks in Washington by calling for the impeachment of President Obama, among other frequent absurdities. His latest was inviting Nugent to be his special guest at Tuesday night's State of the Union address.

Stockman, of course, has the right to invite anyone he wants to a presidential speech, but hobnobbing with an unhinged loudmouth says more about the Texas lawmaker's level of seriousness than it does about Nugent, whose fusillade of ridiculous rants over the years include the following (uttered while brandishing a couple of machine guns): "I went to Chicago, and I said, 'Hey Obama, you ought to suck on one of these, you punk.'"

Stockman served in Congress in the mid-'90s and made a name for himself by suggesting that the Clinton administration staged the deadly Branch Davidian raid outside Waco to convince Congress that it should ban assault weapons.
