LULZ! This link is screamingly funny, and hats off to jibeaux for posting it in the last comment thread. Some people, like our George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, North Carolina here, just have to learn manners — not to mention the Internet — the hard way.

@Felinious Wench: And if George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina actually went to court as he threatened to do, George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina might make it into newspapers, TV news shows, morning zoo radio programs, etc. etc. etc. Then everybody would know about George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina.

@Ash Can: He is not from NC, George Tierney, Jr. is from Greenville, SOUTH Carolina. The Other Chuck, the reason it’s notable is not the random assholeishness so much as the frantic attempts to scrub blogs talking about the random assholeishness via litigation threats. Entertaining in the same way Santorum publicly wonders why google can’t just remove that unseemly stuff from their “website.” And that is why the story of George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is interesting.

@The Other Chuck: It would be one thing if George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina had said horrible things in the privacy of his own home or in private e-mail. But George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina said horrible things in public on a public website. The fact that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is now unhappy that the horrible things he said in public are now being talked about in public is really a case of tiny violins for him.

@ploeg: And George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, is a caddy. If this goes viral (and I’m thinking it won’t be long), George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina will have trouble finding any kind of pro willing to hire him.

George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is a real hit with the ladies. Calling them “cunts” and referring to their mouths as “dick suckers” is a sure fire win.

Heh. 5 of the first 10 links for a Google search of “George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina” are about this kerfuffle. None of the 5 are complimentary to George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina.

Purely amazing to see public assholery going viral right before my very eyes. Ne’er mind, George, if all else fails Rush will put you on the payroll cleaning his toilets or something. Speaking of getting laid, perhaps Mrs. Limbaugh the Fifth will have eyes for you. If she married Rush her standards can’t be all that high.

So George Tierney thinks he can say whatever he wants about women on the Internets, but believes he can sue anyone who talks about him?

Good stuff from TBogg’s comments:
Commenter Lesley noted from a tweet that George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina haz a sad that there is so little regard these days for the concept of southern hospitality.
Commenter thedarkbackward saw the clear opportunity for a meme that would feature this gaping black hole where self-awareness might otherwise exist for George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina.
It kinda works for GOP politics in general, but particularly for parochial ‘regionalists’ who tend to brag on southern hospitality. Bless their hearts.

I checked George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina’s Twitter feed.
In addition to being a world-class douche, he’s so fucking stupid he hasn’t even taken down his offensive tweets (there are a lot of them) or done the simpler DELETE EVERYTHING move and kill his account.
I never dreamed, when learning how to code back in the eighties, that turning stupid people loose on computers could result in so much hilarity.

Note to George Tierney:
You’re a golfer, so when you’ve hit a bad shot into a patch of thick, tall rough amid a tangled mess of briers, do you:
a) prudently recognize that you’ve got an unplayable lie, take the penalty so you don’t make the situation worse with futile attempts to advance the ball; OR
b) try to flail the ball out of trouble anyway, in a leap of hope against the weight of experience?;
c) cheat and move the ball with your hand back out of the rough and play it as if you never hit it in there, and while you’re at it give yourself a good lie. HEY GEORGE: as a golfer, you know this only works when you’re only playing purely for fun with friends, and not if this is in any kind of broader competition. WHICH BTW IS WHAT POSTING ARGUMENTATIVE COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET IS ANALOGOUS TO, since it’s no longer purely bullshitting around with a few buds about the alleged sluttiness of certain women. Instead, it’s with the broader world which will hold you to account for what you say.
