LATOURETTE SYNDROME

  • BOMB WASHINGTON NOW: “With an impressively straight face, Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio) walked up to Rahm and said something that began with ‘you mother’ followed by a number of bleeped out expletives, according to eyewitnesses. Emanuel responded by giving LaTourette a friendly punch in the stomach, followed by a handshake.” [Washington Post]

    I had to check the calendar to make sure this wasn’t April 1st. LaTourette Syndrome, indeed.

  2. takes12no1 says at 1:41 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Realllly??? LaTourette you say? like the syndrome…well at least he has a good excuse.

  3. Red Zeppelin says at 1:43 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Yeah, I get the Tourette thing, but does he have a death wish, also?

  4. Custerwolf says at 1:45 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Maybe the WaPo should do like my mother used to when I’d tattle on someone else for cussing. She say to me, “Oh honey, don’t be a snitchy little cunt.”

    Better LaTourette’s than Letourneau syndrome where he gets impregnated by a 12 year old Asian boy.

    Bonne soirée mere’fucker…watch yer back La Tourette..

  7. Custerwolf says at 1:47 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Red Zeppelin: I don’t know, but someone should check him for tics.

  8. AllHat says at 1:47 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Video, plz.

  9. Lascauxcaveman says at 1:48 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Aww, reading the actual article is kinda disappointing, they’re just horsing around like old army buddies, (or ballet-class buddies or whatever).

    That pic of Mary Ann Akers is kinda cute, however. She’s sort of like a downmarket SKS on a bad hair day, isn’t she?

  10. Larry Fine says at 1:48 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Will Emanuel have this guy killed now?

  11. Custerwolf says at 1:49 pm, May 21st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: He was actually Messican. She’d never stoop low enough to fuck an Asian.

  12. Custerwolf says at 1:52 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: Hey do you need a hide-a-bed by any chance? You can call it second-hand rock memorobilia. It used to be Chris Cornell’s Moms, and we just lost the last room of our house that we were keeping it in. Let me know.

  13. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 1:55 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Custerwolf: Samoan actually. Coincidentally, her father was a conservative Republican congressman.

  14. Brendan M. says at 1:56 pm, May 21st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Custerwolf: Let’s compromise and say he was Filipino, okay?

    Also, I think we can beat LaTourette with a well-financed, 1st-tier Democratic candidate. His incumbency is the only thing keeping him in office, because his district is no longer safe Republican.

  15. Custerwolf says at 2:01 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Canmon (the Inadequate): I’m sorry, but he was NOT a white fluffy dog.
    Brendan M.: Oh. Okay.

    Tuna tartar? TUNA TARTAR? OMGWTFARUGULAMARXISTCOMMIEPINKOFAGGOTTYMOTHERFUCKINGMUSLINMORAN! Also.

  17. spryte says at 2:08 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Jesus, what’s wrong with me? Rahm punching someone in the stomach just makes me want to bang him even more.

  19. Blender says at 2:12 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman:

    No shit. But with all due respect, the “hip nerdy sexy Janeane Garofalo but-12-years-later politically saavy” look is getting a little tired (if it wasn’t murdered outright by Sarah McSnowbilly).

  20. tunamelt says at 2:13 pm, May 21st, 2009

    spryte: This.

  21. takes12no1 says at 2:14 pm, May 21st, 2009

    LaTourette then introduced Rahm to his wife, Jennifer LaTourette, a lobbyist who used to be Congressman LaTourette’s chief of staff before she became Mrs. LaTourette.

    Not only does this guy have a problem keeping the f-bombs from flying out of his mouth, he obviously has a little problem keeping his f*%7ck@#g willie in his pants…Tourette’s of the mouth maybe?

  22. 4tehlulz says at 2:18 pm, May 21st, 2009

    >>LaTourette then introduced Rahm to his wife, Jennifer LaTourette, a lobbyist who used to be Congressman LaTourette’s chief of staff before she became Mrs. LaTourette.

    First Mrs. LaTourette fucks the people than the congressman fucks the person fucking the people.

    DC circle of life.

    “LaTourette then introduced Rahm to his wife, Jennifer LaTourette, a lobbyist who used to be Congressman LaTourette’s chief of staff before she became Mrs. LaTourette.”

    Nothing like fucking the help… especially help that finds your ability to talk dirty really fuckin’ HOT.

  24. takes12no1 says at 2:22 pm, May 21st, 2009

    takes12no1: Tourette’s of the pants I mean.
    4tehlulz: my point exactly.

  25. x111e7thst says at 2:23 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Custerwolf: + easy cure for LaTourettes tendency to run his mouth: punch him in the throAT>

  26. ProfessorJukes says at 2:23 pm, May 21st, 2009

    takes12no1: 4tehlulz: Wow, triple quote excerpting. You both owe me a Bourbon Manhattan, rocks, heavy on the bourbon.

  27. El Pinche says at 2:26 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Rep. Steven LaTourette touched a dirty socialist . He must repent to master limbaugh and lick his giant 8 inch taint clean.

  28. Custerwolf says at 2:34 pm, May 21st, 2009

    x111e7thst: I like your style.

    5-25-09
    WASHINGTON: Police found the deceased remains of U.S. Representative Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio) on the Capitol steps last night. The cause of death is reported to be asphyxiation, caused by a pair of plastic TruckNutz(tm) lodged in the throat. The artificial testicles, used as a popular pickup accessory in low-income regions of the country, were painted bright red. A string of profanity was scrawled across the deceased’s forehead.

    Police said they do not suspect foul play, as Rep. LaTourette “probably deserved it,” according to the chief of D.C. police. Other theories advanced by the police coroner indicate that “[LaTourette] may have been into this sort of thing.”

  30. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:38 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Custerwolf: Chris Cornell’s mom’s ex-hide-a-bed?! SWEET! I’ll drive right over!

    (Who is Chris Cornell again?) Actually, since you keep a house full of critters, I’m guessing that’s one raggedy-ass hide-a-bed, so no thanks.

    But speaking of critters, do you want to add a mountain beaver to your menagerie? I’ve been catching them and deporting them to way up the end of my road. They are feisty little motherfuckers when they’re inside a Havahart trap.

    (Rather boring, poorly shot videos of captured/freed mountainbeaver on my lame blog .)

  31. bobwurst says at 2:39 pm, May 21st, 2009

    El Pinche, the visual you just gave me, of rush’s dingleberry encrusted taint is making my skin crawl. There’s no way he can keep that clean, hell he’s so fat there’s no way he can wipe his ass, or clean under his scrotum, or get at the decomposing skin in the creases in his fat…

  32. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:43 pm, May 21st, 2009

    bobwurst: You’ve been looking at the pannus/furries/midget picture again, haven’t you?

  33. Zadig says at 2:44 pm, May 21st, 2009

    bobwurst: Ew ew ew just shut the fuck up about Rush Limbaugh’s grundle.

  34. Custerwolf says at 2:49 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: HAHAHAHA!!!! I love it!! Is that your daughter filming? At that age it’s hard to tell a voice’s gender through all the cuteness. Also, I love how you cut her off at the end you bastard. Thanks for sharing. Your fondness for beavers is admirable.

  35. Zadig says at 2:53 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Custerwolf: I too have a great fondness for beavers.

  36. takes12no1 says at 2:54 pm, May 21st, 2009

    ProfessorJukes: I believe you were the last. I’ll take one of these things Mr. Blifil was describing in an earlier post:

    “…a Blood Orange “Mimosa,” made with real blood squeezed from a discarded uterus and fermented urine in place of champagne”…uh…wait nevermind.

    Zadig: 4 days! no way Rahmbo would take that long to exact his revenge.

  37. El Pinche says at 2:56 pm, May 21st, 2009

    bobwurst: Unwashed grundles can cause failed kidneys. Smell ya later, ElRushbo!

  38. Lascauxcaveman says at 3:07 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Custerwolf: Yup, my daughter. She’s 9, she’s brilliant and definitely my best playmate, always up for a lark. She’s currently designing a tree house she want to build; ’cause boy, we got trees!

    My 13-year-old OTOH is getting kind of boring and mature these days, never wants to play outside, always with her nose in a book, and she talks so fast I can’t understand a word she says. (Insert sad face emoticon).

  39. Custerwolf says at 3:13 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: I love her. If they still have that show Zaboomafoo she could get a starring role.

  40. Custerwolf says at 3:24 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Zadig: No surprise there. Interesting fact about “regular” beavers (Castor canadensis) - their size is determined by lifespan. In other words, a beaver keeps growing until it dies. A trait which is shared by certain human females (i.e. K-lo).

  41. Zadig says at 3:30 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Custerwolf: *rimshot*

  42. Advn2rgirl says at 3:50 pm, May 21st, 2009

    OkayLascauxcaveman: you’re kind of the Hurricane Katrina of Wild Mountain Beavers, but I forgive you b/c that Bond Girls Never Whine picture is too perfect for words.

  43. Custerwolf says at 4:03 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Advn2rgirl: Thanks, Advn2rgirl, I’m such an asshole, I didn’t even scroll down to see if there was anything other than the Marlin Perkin’s mountain beaver episode. CUTEST little darlings you have there Lascauxcaveman!

  44. Lascauxcaveman says at 5:21 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Advn2rgirl: Custerwolf: I gotsta admit, you are both right.

    [/pats self on back - again.]

  45. Zadig says at 8:58 pm, May 21st, 2009

    takes12no1: That’s the beauty of it, though. LaTourette will wake up on the morning of the 24th and think he’s gotten away clean.

  46. EdFlinstone says at 12:32 am, May 22nd, 2009

    El Pinche: That my friend was Wonkette Gold.
