Wonkette
So this guy Lee Terry, he is from Nebraska — a state which, as anyone who has spent an hour and a half getting lunch in Omaha can tell you, is surprisingly tolerable! Rep. Terry is very feisty, as well, as evidenced by his reportedly telling a DC driver “Fuck you” when the driver pointed out the other day that he was jaywalking. He also got into a vulgar shouting match with Jesse Jackson Jr. once on the House floor. This alone equipped him with a one-way ticket to Awesome. [CQ via Glenn Thrush]
“[Expletive] you!” Terry retorted.
“Really?” the driver asked.
“Really,” Terry confirmed.
That’s fucking awesome.
No tearful rambling confessions from this dude. Also, I’ll bet he likes llamas.
He goes to the same hair salon as Blagojevich.
This week on “Really?!?!” with Seth and Amy…
I tell DC drivers “fuck you” all the time and my fanblog doesn’t dedicate posts to this.
Is he related to the little creep who “karate chopped” that black lady? Cause looking at him he looks like he should be.
Clearly the Congressman is a practitioner of radical honesty. Is that so wrong?
I thought Fuck you was standard political language now. Now if he actually meant he actually wanted to have sexytime with the taxi driver- that might be news.
Man, the party of “Family Values” sure haz potty mouth lately. Boner and his “pile of shit” and now this, sheesh!
Fucking Nebraska.
I think his piece of flair says “We’re Not in Nebraska Anymore!”
They don’t have pedestrian lanes in Nebraska, obvs.
The blocky hair, the chubby cheeks, the pale aryan tone, and the beady eyes…he screams FUCK YOU, I’M REPUBLICAN!!!!
Not pictured: the piece of wood he continually gnaws on because his incisors, like those of all rodents, never stop growing.
Crab1: I’m with Crab. This is news?
Nice face. Very punchable.
Can anyone make out the lapel button? I’m guessing Corn Husker Champ 1983.
He does kinda look like the .25 peep show goer’s Garrison Keillor.
I am surprised Politico didn’t headline this, Tough new breed of GOPer ready to dish out all the traffic can handle.”
Lee Terry is why Nebraska should not get the bomb.
Wow. Stephen King cleans up pretty nice.
Hey Moe Green survived changed his name and ran for Congress?

“surprisingly tolerable”?!
if that’s some kind of compliment, Nebraska will take it.
if not, well, the office of our beloved Congressman Terry will be in touch.
actually, I am surprised Lee Terry, the son of a guy who evangelizes on a local-access cable channel, would use such language…DC and its Jesse Jackson Jrs (if you know what I mean) have changed that West Dodge simpleton into a monster.
This made me chuckle, as continued on CQ: “During a tense debate on the Agriculture spending bill, a Democrat shouted across the chamber, ‘They can’t be trusted!’ Terry, R-Neb., retorted, ‘Shut up!’”
“Fuck you”? “Shut up”? They can culminate their quelling argument in two words?! To whom else in the GOP would this apply?
“Wide Stance” - Larry Craig
“I quit” - Fred Thompson
“Waron Turr” - Dubya
“I’m sorry” - Mark Sanford
Hell, you have 300,000 other words to choose from, boys. Take a stab at it. “Won’t hurt.”
The driver obviously is not familiar with the standard challenge:response code here. In circumstances such as this, the proper response to “fuck you” is not “really”–it’s “Fuck me? No, fuck YOU.” Whereupon the original issuer of the challenge either backs down, or turns and begins to remove his jacket to prepare for fisticuffs. To properly pull this off, at this point someone in his entourage intervenes and restrains the challenger, thus giving the challenger the benefit of appearing to be ready to fight without having to actually expose himself to the risk of violence.
Another Rahm wannabe
My goddamn bastard kids should never be exposed to fucking foul language like that spewed by this asshole politician. Who the fuck does he think he is? I am trying to raise my children in a wholesome environment–you know, pro sports on weekends, reruns of Saving Grace and Rescue Me on the tee-vee: wholesome family values, there. Now I have to fucking parent block the goddamn C-SPAN in case another GrOPer let’s fly with shitty invective. Fuck me.
Wow! Lee Terry (D-Nebraska) has hit a new low!
Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee
We’re talkin fuckin Leee….
In 10 years of representing Nebraska’s Congressional District 2, Lee Terry has accomplished one thing — other than dropping the F-bomb — the renaming of a post office. Not building a new post office, but renaming an old one.
If one ever gets the chance to converse with Terry, he’s about as dumb as a box of rocks. The fact that Terry can string two words together is quite the feat.
This from “Ahmad” in Glenn’s comments:
A Republican yells an expletive at at a motorist and this is news? While the Democrat drunk driving Kennedy is free to come and go from his latest rehab to cast a vote whenever he pleases.Talk about privledge.
Hasn’t somebody already made plenty of pate out of this canard? Stay classy, motherfuckers!
Thing is, he was the most qualified being in the district to run for Congress. He edged out a cow in a feed lot that had a cute singsong Moo until she was run through the shredder in order to appear at a McDonald’s near you.
The f-bomb is so hackneyed. It loses points in my book for lame attempt at passion, but without imagination or vocabulary. Pass.
From QC:
Terry: Hey, I’m walkin’ here!
Driver: That’s not original at all. Dustin Hoffman as Ratzo Rizzo in “Midnight Cowboy” said that about 35 or 40 years ago in that movie.
Terry: What?
Driver: GET THE HELL OUT OF THE ROAD, YOU MORON!
Terry: I’m a conservative Republican Congressman!
Driver: No one cares! GET THE HELL OUT OF THE ROAD, YOU MORON!
queeraselvis v 2.0: Is privledge when there’s a precariously placed toilet?
I love how Politico and CQ report on the sorts of conversations that most Americans have at least once a week.
I tell people to fuck off on the regular.
rereridiculous: You from Fox News?
Maybe we can have him and Dick Cheney face off in a swear-off on the Fourth of July.
I, too, want to engage in a vulgar shouting match with Jesse Jackson Jr — and Sr — and Al Sharpton. And no, it’s not a racial thing. There are many more white folks whom I wish to engage in vulgar shouting matches.
Omaha is indeed a wild kingdom. Just ask Marlin Perkins, who filmed his show there before being viciously mauled to death by a rampaging dik-dik.
TGY: Or pedestrians.
This guy! You’re lucky you don’t get his goddamn phone calls asking you to join in on some health care or energy conference call he’s having with his concerned constituents. If you’ve ever had to listen to this douchebag’s voice….jeezus but he’s a dork. His law office used to be in the same building that I worked…he’s worse in person.
S.Luggo: lolz…NE has had the bomb for decades (the launch command bunkers are here with the fail-safe keys have been here since the cold war ramped up - don’t know if that’s still the case since they re-configged, but don’t want to know now).
Fly Over Girl: BlueMonkey:
fellow Nebraskans?!
finally!
it’s been lonely around here.
NebraskashireGentry: Yep, I lurk for the most part but post on occasion.
If we can have Alaskans for Nebraska to honor our much loved football team, then we need Nebraskans for Wonkette!
Fly Over Girl: …fairly certain we can’t count on Lee Terry joining.
Hey I’d like to give an F’n shout out to my fellow Nebraskans too! Our local Repugliness has made teh Wonkette!
They used to say that moving to Nebraska was like being hanged: at first it was a shock, but after a while you’d get used to it.

I never understood Jaywalking laws anyway. Seems like something the car companies would lobby for to discourage people from walking even more. At least they went bankrupt before we would start getting points on license for walking.
Why wasn’t he driving a gas guzzling, pedestrian smasher? Clearly a closet beliver in exercise and global warming–traiter to the Republican cause. Burn the heretic!
