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.

"Rep. Steven LaTourette"

OK, I don't want to be politically incorrect, but it did make me laugh...

[shanester]

yesit was funny! Tell the poster below you to lighten up! :)

[TxAggie]

Why is it acceptable to have this mother fu__ker in the job he is in? Is this the best Obama or we as a country can do? It is inexcusable for someone in his position to use such language and we joke about it.

[hidenout]

I don't know, ask Rahm. According to the press, he talks that way all the time.

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Oh shut the f**k up. Seriously.

[shanester]

LOL!! short but sweet!

[ncmom54]

it's coarse language, I wouldn't want to hear my 75 year old mother or my 3 year old granddaughter say it ... but it's no more than just rough language, with no harmful intent. on the other hand when W referred to the Constitution as "just a GD piece of paper", now that's offensive because his actions while in office prove that he believed it.

[Privatepractice]

So did you find the profanity from Cheney inexcusable in his former position? Get a bloody life and while you are at it get a detox form your brand of hypocrisy!!

[Halfwit]

That is exactly what I would say to him. He is a big fan of cussing. I'm sure he would laugh.

[HC4BO]

Steve La Tourette's Syndrome was only using a term of endearment common between those two ...

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Pretty common between a lot of grown men.

[roshni]

No sweat. Hope Rahm said "right back at you!."

[UltraClassic]

They were just shucking and jiving, no big deal, kicking back. It shows they both still got a pair and that's a good thing.

[traveler501]

Rahm is a guy I would like next to me in a fight.

[roshni]

I want to see Rahm take on Glen Beck. Oh wait, he has real work to do.

[edtheengineer]

Taking on Beck is not worth Rahm's trouble. It would be equivalent to erasing a very minor error.

[just4shiggles]

Me too, or sitting next to me any place else as well.

[somsoc]

GO Pervert a class act as always.

[mcantwell]

Rahm told the guy to "Go Che ney yourself."

[gintheb]

Its called LaTourrette's Syndrome.

[MissElaineous]

You beat me to it, LOL.

[FeO2E]

well played sir

[roshni]

LOL!

[nicole44]

Do some of you people completely ignore the content of the articles? It was a light-hearted exchange between two friendly people. Please take your " I hate everything republican" goggles off for one moment and try to see something for what it really is, a joke. Sorry this is not the gotcha moment some of you live for.

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Lol. Great post. Keep up the good work.

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Actually no, you have a point. My bad. This is not news. It's actually pretty normal for grown men to talk to each other like this. Anybody that acts like it's a big deal probably doesn't have many male friends. Or grew up Mormon.

[Birdman]

Well after all Cheney long time ago now had set the standard for Republcian behavior in the Senate, it seems to have filtered on over to the house so why should this surprize anyone.

[GatoPreto]

That's what I like best about the GOP; they're classy.

[twisted-european]

... underclassy, that is, considering their remarks and actions, and underachieving in the outcomes.

[jsgaetano]

The discussion was far more friendly than the (again) stupid misleading headline would have one think.

After swearing at Rahm, LaTourette shook his hand and introduced him to his wife. Hardly a Cheney-esque "Go F Yourself" moment.
