In Which Steve LaTourette (R-OH) Competes With Alan Grayson For A Regular Gig At Second City


Watch Republican Congressman Steve LaTourette toss off sassy bon mots interspersed with his A-game impressions of Fran Drescher as an infant. Congress has a two-drink minimum for a reason, people. [via The Awl]

    Hell, put a blonde wig on him, give him a Nair facial scrub, and stuff a Twinkie in his mouth, and LaTourette would be a dead ringer for Sylvia Fine.

    Hey buddy, the fight isn’t in the House. It’s in the Senate, where exactly what you’re claiming isn’t happening is happening.

    Also, fattie.

    Steve LaTourette (R-BITCHCUNTFUCKSHITPISSOH!1!!) represents Painsville, Ohio, a.k.a “Ohio”.

    Um, he’s kind of right. The fucking Dem leadership isn’t worth two squirts of piss. The end.

    Still, fuck you LaTourrette….you are a repugnant ass nugget, and can die anytime.

  12. PoignancySelz says at 4:55 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Can’t find an instructional vid on YouTube, but I think there is a book I could recommend for this clown, <Schtick, For Idiots, From the Catskills to Main Street by Reuben Reubenstein.

    Seriously what do the opposition party get paid for if not to come up with lame humor on our dime.

    It’s about as funny as running the country into the ground, starting two wars with no end in sight and fucking underaged pages while screaming “family values”.

    How’s that for a joke? Mr. LaTourretes (cockgobbler,OH)

  14. bitchincamaro says at 5:23 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Gopherit: Yes, and yes.

  15. Doris Ziffel says at 5:33 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Back when he was student council president in middle school, the other student council geeks thought this kind of thing was hilarious.

  16. teebob2000: Makes one wonder why Stevie voted against the Hate Crimes Bill, speaking of acting against self-interest.

  17. If you’re going bald, the only fashionable way for redemption is a big, big beard

  18. He’s right about Democrats being so utterly uncoordinated they couldn’t agree on which K Street whore to hire.

    But it’s still just a big elaborate straw man. Is he saying people are wrong for believing the Republicans just want to vote “no” on everything and don’t want to do anything that might harm obscene health insurance profits?

  19. CapnFatback says at 8:37 pm, October 29th, 2009

    I don’t see what the big deal is WAHHH! In Ohio, in lieu of periods, we end all of our sentences with the mimicked cries of an unfed infant WAHHH!

  20. So Latourette’s syndrome is from Painesville, Ohio.

    Talented speculative fiction author/Dating Game contestant/breast groper Harlan Ellison is from Painesville.
    He used to be picked upon because he was a scrawny, smart-ass Jewish boy.

    Daddy LaTourette was probably a leader of the bullies.

  21. More like congressman tourette’s sydrome. Than latourette. Trig. Poop.

  22. LowerdPeninsula says at 4:31 am, October 30th, 2009

    “Steve The Tourette”?

    Meh, sounds about right in both that he’s a frog and has Tourette’s.

    This is known as the Artie Lange filibuster. (Baba Booey!)
