Steven LaTourette, GOP Congressman, Greets Rahm Emanuel As "You Motherf***er"

The Sleuth :

Rahm Emanuel got a dose of his own medicine at last night's weekly bipartisan White House mixer for members of Congress.

Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio), one of only a handful of Republicans who made the cut for this week's happy hour, gave his old colleague one doozy of an F-bomb greeting. Emanuel couldn't have done it better himself.

Doesn't that show a lot of class?

This is filth. A foul mouth in many cases reveal an insecure, contemptuous person. US Public officals should learn their mother tongue properly. There are enough words and phrases in the English dictionary to express onself without inventing or picking up new cheap ones. Is Rahm's constant use of filth an indication that he is versed in Hebrew and Yiddish and not English?

At least he is name appropriately.

Rahm had a mother?

I woulda guessed pod-person,

but even if true, " Pod-@$&^er " just doesn't have

the same visceral impact...

At The George Washington University commencement last Sunday, Rahm, noting his new honorary doctorate, mentioned he also had a doctorate in lingusitics specializing in words with only 4 letters in them.

More than likely did not mean it literally, just a comment on how his personality is received...

How she got through that report without a pun on LaTourette's aptronym I can't imagine. Must've been painful to restrain the urge. It's the one reason she even has a story here. Like guys (especially politicians) don't say this to each other all the time.

It's good that the exchange was all in fun. Otherwise I'd advise Rep. LaTourette to hire a food taster. Rahm ain't nothin' to f*ck wit'.

"With an impressively straight face, LaTourette walked up to Rahm and said something that began with 'you mother' followed by a number of bleeped out expletives, according to eyewitnesses."

I'm more impressed with the fact that he was able to keep a straight face while making the bleep sound. That takes panache.

I think it was because he overheard Rahm saying that he had to go to the mens room and take a Cheney.

There is something about Rahm Emanuel I find sexy?

[BlueZoo]

This is a ridiculous story with a headline designed to incite the anti-GOP crowd in a big way - not that we need a reason but a REAL reason is always preferable! Men greet one another this same way in almost any setting and these two know each other well. Big deal! Shame on HuffPo for even printing this!

Maybe they could take some lessons from Al Swearingen for an advanced degree in conversational profanity.
