Hi. I’m back and, no, I didn’t bring presents.
So where were we?
Oh yes. Recently (May 8th to be exact) I did a post on potty-mouthed golf caddy George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina who, for some reason, took offense when Sandra Fluke went on Twitter and voiced her support for a bill that would protect the rights of working women when they get pregnant.
Let’s relive The Magic That Is George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina When He Talks To The Ladies, shall we? :
And here is Sandra Fluke’s response to George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina’s aforementioned Magic with George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina’s return volley of More Magic:
I know… Nice, right?
Misunderstanding how the Twitter works, George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina seemed to think he was using his “inside voice” when speaking (twatting) to Ms. Fluke on Twitter only to find out, in a very round-about way, that she elected to retweet to her 36,000 followers what George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina had to say to her and she only did this because she is obviously racist against douchebags who like to shout stuff at ladies on the internet because, as we like to say: virtual manhood is better than no manhood at all.
Anyway, that is where I came in when I screen-capped the whole exchange and made a post out of it, which brings us to last week when George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina decided to google himself on the internet and OH HOLY SHIT! he is now kind of semi-famous for Doing Internet Swears At Ladies and now all that money he spent on eHarmony is just fucking wasted because ladies will not want to go on a date with him ever ever again besides the fact that all he ever wants to talk about is golf which is like the third gayest sport ever. Besides, also: boring.
So eight days after I shared The Magic of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina he wrote an email to my patron d’art, as follows:
Whoever runs this site needs to take my damn comments off of it. I did not give you permission, nor did you ask me for it. It shows up on google and I will see a lawyer if this doesnt disappear. Ask me before posting bullshit about me. You fuckers had no right.
Sincerely,
George Tierney Jr
Adorable, right?
Jane responded:
Dear Mr. Tierney,
It is site policy to establish that you are actually George Tierney, and not someone claiming to be him, in order to engage you on this matter further. Please have your lawyer confirm that you are in fact the George Tierney referred to in the post and I will be happy to discuss the matter with him. My contact information is below.
Annnnnd ….. Mr. Tierney responded:
You dont get to make the rules. I am the george tierney that made the comments to sandra fluke, not to you..take it off google. If it goes to a lawyer, it will be settled in court, with me getting paid.
Sincerely,
George Tierney Jr
Yes. This is true. We are NOT The Boss Of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina and we DO NOT Make The Rules in much the same way that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina does not make up THE MAGIC LAWS OF THE INTERNET that say that you cannot
- point at and make fun of
- be sad about
- heh, indeed
…something that someone says in a public forum.
Having said that, and because we are all about trying to help people be better people, we are willing to update the offending post if George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina makes a public apology to Sandra Fluke, and not one of those bullshit, “I apologize if you were offended because I called you a under-rock-dwelling dick sucking cunt” kind of apologies. No, that will not do.
Also, too, stop doing this.
Additionally he could make a substantial but not ostentatious contribution to Planned Parenthood in Sandra Fluke’s name.
Yes, that would be nice. For that we would totally consider updating the Google for him.

This made me actually laugh out loud.
Just take him off the Google already, TBogg!!! Don`t be such a cunt.
Dear George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina: once you iz on Teh Google, it iz forever. Just ask your buds “Chunky Reese Witherspoon” and Rick “Santorum” Santorum.
Not even Jane can fix you. Heh.
Literally laugh out loud hilarious!
Dear George Tierney,
I am an exiled Nigerian Prince, and a lawyer as well. I would be happy to represent you in court, and guarantee you will receive FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS upon the resolution of your lawsuit.
Please send me your Social Security Number and the account and routing numbers for any and all bank accounts in your name, so I can set up the fund transfers which will take place at the proper time.
ROTFLMAO!
This is classic and a thing of beauty. Mr. Tierney is quickly learning the the internet and twitter are forever. I love clueless bigotted twits like this when they suddenly realize that they have become the laughingstock of the known universe. Keep up the good work, Georgie boy! We haven’t had this much fun since the last time Jonah Goldberg published a “book.”
George tweeting about southern hospitality is a hoot.
Bravo!
Oh, wow.
I’d almost feel sorry for the prick if he wasn’t such a…sorry prick.
God Bless Him
Boy, that George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina sure doesn’t understand how the Google works, does George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina? I hear there are online rep management organizations that could help George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina if George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina were willing to pay them thousands and thousands of dollars.
But I’m not even sure that would help George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina since the name, “George Tierney,” and the location, “Greenville, South Carolina,” appear on high traffic blogs and popular Twitter streams. And people keep saying “George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina.”
I think George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina is shit out of luck. Unless he wants to change his name to something other than “George Tierney” and perhaps move away from Greenville, South Carolina. Maybe George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina shouldn’t have been such a giant dick. Lesson learned, George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina?
Oh. My. Dog. Our George Tierney is the dumbest mofo ever!
Could we accomplish some sort of Dan Savage-like google thing? George is just screaming for it!
::
Sandra Fluke is one smart gal!
After calling a woman a cunt on the Internet, Tierney credits himself with saving a woman from cancer. A sure sign he’s beyond being a giant asshole. He’s an entire asshole universe unto himself. Clouded in bean gas.
Nah, let’s not totally bomb him. He’s not a danger to the public like Santorum was. He’s just a jerk who needs a kick in the pants.
Dear George,
This is your grandma speaking.
I just wrote you out of my will.
Suck on that!
Grandma
Perfect.
I was thinking that it would be great if George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina tried to track us all down. Frankly, my family is lousy with lawyers and it would be great if he sued me. Honestly, just reading the name “George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina” causes me mental distress. And the abusive language is causing me pain and suffering. Very, very expensive suffering…
So how long will it take George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina to figure out that lawsuits in courts can possibly get George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina featured in actual newspapers, newsmagazines, TV news shows, etc. etc. etc. The over/under is three weeks.
Granted those outlets aren’t going to publish his tweet verbatim (so that people don’t spit up their Froot Loops when they read/hear it in the morning), but said outlets generally have ways to give everybody enough of the flavor so that they wish that they had never heard of George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina. (And if people were really curious, there’s always Google.)
he’s right, tbogg. this is bullshit and you owe him an apology. it’s george Tierny, JUNIOR.
And what’s more, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
That’s one mouthy caddy. And a cancer cure, apparently. So he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
Dear lord, what an idiot.
Why doesn’t he just tell teh Google to shut their goddamn dick sucker? Just shout it at their home page. That should do the trick.
Welcome back, sir. You returned with a vengeance, you ol’ cunt.
Bogg:
It is great to have you back and in such fine form.
PS Tierney is an example of why inbreeding is ot just against the law, but a bad idea, too.
Freedom of speech for him, the rest of us can go hang…except Limbaugh, of course…………….
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long rime. This guy should go viral, like be on t-shirts or something. Satire of hicks couldn’t rise to imitation of the Great Hickishness of Tierney.
I didnt’ know it was against the law?
So many seem to be doing it these days, esp in that area
Fluke continues to prove she is a class act in the face of vicious, virulent misogyny.
I wonder if his “lawyer” can defend HIM against a defamation suit
LMAO
What.a.clueless.dork. Turn off the Ted Nugent album George and reconnect with reality.
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina
Can I get in on some of that suffering?
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina
Omigosh, look what’s on The Twitter.
Also: Golf is THE gayest “sport” ever, if you can call a game in which “wide-stance” geriatric multi-millionaires applaud each other and hang out at men’s only club houses a sport.
Strangely, George Tierney, Jr, of Greenville, South Carolina, has not scrubbed his tweets of May 8th. Odd, that. Perhaps his lawyer doesn’t know how to?
Tierney’s daddy-uncle would be proud of him for defying the authorities.
Ya know gang all ya have to do is google the ass, then click on the tbogg link in the results. Before you know it most people who have ever googled this inbred, low-class, fenetically-deficient-failure-of-human-tissues reprobate will have looked at that specific result, with the remainder being wide-stance geriatric multimillionaires who like the way potty-mouthed Georfe “handled their clubs” at the course and are looking for a paid replay.
Done. The tbogg link is already No. 15; let’s see what we can do to get it higher.
Try “George Tierney, Jr, of Greenville, South Carolina dick sucker” !!!
TBogg is #1 on THAT one!
But, but…I heard that conservatives were winning teh twitter warz…
Bless his heart …
That made me smile, of course, but let’s face it, only FDL’ers are gonna do a search for that.
When tbogg is No. 1 for just “George Tierney,” then he’s been officially Santorum’d.
Jesus, what a fucking pig.
Also, how could any sentient female vote Republican ever again?
Ya could also link to the tbogg article in different places, wait a day or three, then google the place and tierney’s name, then google tierney and the place, and click the link, then over a liittle more time google tierney, then click the oter site links that point back to Bogg as well. Before you know it his “Tweet” will be written on his tombstone.
There are so many nasty and ignorant people out there like that for whom the Internet has given a platform. But that’s what the Internet is about. But it also gives all other viewpoints an equal viewpoint. George Tierney fully represents the low information voter, assuming he votes at all, most of whom don’t peruse political sites or “The Google”and so while his viewpoint is vile, his rant is likely to have no impact at all, politically.
“george tierney greenville sc” = TBogg @ #5 now.
George Tierney, Jr Greenville — TBogg #1
Are you referring to @geotie2323 on Twitter, aka George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina?
@geotie2323 on Twitter, aka George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, is a hypocritical dingbat who must be one of the folks Assrocket had in mind when he talked about how the Cons are allegedly beating the Libs at Twittering.
I just have to thank you, TBogg, for the most real LOLs I have had in quite a while at the expense of George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina! (I guess you would call it at the expense of George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, even if it is George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina who wants to collect some expenses from some other people who are probably cunts, or if there is something worse than being that thing, it could simply just be George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, bless his heart.)
I’m not a rocket scientist nor a twitter or a twatter, but maybe George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina would like to dispute that along with the other things he is trying to dispute, most of all that infamy he got all over himself when he twitted that thing that he did twitter. But I do think I got it figured out how he got to be number one, which is better than number two, I think. But he might want to dispute that too. Also.
Thank you Mr. TBogg of Firedoglake for bringing this twitter to bear.
I thought George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina was doing all of his love trolling on Christian Mingle dot Com. I stand corrected.
Poor Tony Lucca. Apparently George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina has taken his raging Lucca-mancrush off the twitter-twat device.
O/T, but you don’t hear Juicebox Jesus complaining about attention. Huh? Wha?
Googled and clicked. You may be happy to know that on my internet machine, TBogg comes up # 4 for George Tierney Greenville South Carolina and # 3 for George Tierney Twitter. Lovely, well done chaps.
As of this posting, George Tierney, of Greenville, South Carolina, has 217 Twitter followers, including someone who describes himself as a “Firefighter, golf nut, Rightwing Extremist,” a real cutie who says “Any guys wanna cam?” and Orrin Hatch, claiming to be “U.S. Senator from Utah.” I would think even the spammers would stay away from George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, at this point, not to mention U.S. Senators.
Jeebus, PW, why don’t you tell us how you feel about George Tierney Jr of Greenville, South Carolina?
You can’t handle the truth about George Tierney, Jr, of Greenville, South Carolina.
Oh, yes you did; this post is truly a gift.
And now, a haiku for George Tierney, jr. of Greenville, South Carolina:
The potty-mouth schmuck
tweeted insults to Ms. Fluke
George: $h!t out of luck!
“Greenville, SC, home of George Tierney, Jr.@geotie2323″ seems like a good addition to the Greenville, SC, South Carolina and various South Carolina Republican Party affiliated Wikipedia sites. I’m just sayin…
OOOH this is gonna be FUN!!!
And you know what, I’ve seen this movie before!
You see, there’s this super-popular gaming blog and webcomic called Penny Arcade. The creators of the long-running site, Mike Krahulik (the artist, who goes by the pen name “Gabe”), and Jerry Holkins(the author, who goes by “Tycho Brahe”) also run a very poular gaming convention called PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), which donates a lot to children through their charity, Child’s Play.
Back around last December, Krahulik received notification that a snotty internet douchebag very similar (in attitude and looks) to George Tierney, named Paul Christoforo with a company called Ocean Marketing. Paul basically screwed over a customer, and when that customer complained and asked for a refund, Paul snottily laughed at him and boasted of his important-Internet-game-executive status by invoking, among other things, his connection to PAX. As a result, the customer notified the Penny Arcade guys, who couldn’t believe this guy’s assholery. When he continues his assholery when Karuhilk tells him that with this attitude he will be denied access to PAX, Christoforo laughs and doubts Krahulik’s bona fides. Christoforo says he loves Penny Arcade but basically laughs about getting “free publicity” from the strip. To which Krahulik replies,
“I’m glad you like it! You will be on it tomorrow:)”
Thanks to the strip’s popularity, and the lack of patience its readers have with douchebaggery, Christoforo soon found himself the most hated man on the Internet. Soon his messages changed to,
“You have the power Mike Please make it stop”
I expect that before long, our illustrious and snarkalicious host will look very like comic-Gabe in his strip forever memorializing the joy in making the online lives of assholes hell.
I’m a little late to the party, but I do have the feeling that poor George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina still has not received the attention he so richly deserves.
Far be it from me to refrain from helping bring George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina to the notice of the myriad googlers of the world. In fact, it would be a plain disservice to George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina to deprive people of the entire range of personality traits made public by the online activity of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina.
No need to thank me, George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. Glad to help out.
Wait — which George Tierney are we talking about? The Greenville, SC George Tierney?
I just did the google and sure enuf the “Greenville S.C. George Tierney Jr. as the dicky gold caddy” story comes up first. Good job, Tbogg on getting the George Tierney Jr. of Greenville S.C. story as the primero googly search. Did ya use some of your free Google Ad dollars on getting the George Tierney Jr of Greenville S.C. story on their first? Although, to be honest, I don’t think he’s caddy. On his Twitter feed George Tierney Jr. says he has his own bidness. Now that @geotie2323 on Twitter is George Tierney Jr. of Greenville SC according to his email. And when you go to Linked In there’s a couple of George Tierneys of Greenville SC I dunno if that’s George Tierney Jr. or just plain George Tierney. Whatever, I am sure George Tierney Jr.’s lawyer will let Jane know. I imagine he’ll probably be potty mouthed with Jane, that George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC will, I am sure of that.
Even better than watching the eclipse at the beach while eating lobster and oysters!
Oh wow, I have relatives in Greenville, SC who might know George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC. This George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC plays golf. And any golf player like George Tierney of Greenville, SC should know that one should be a gentleman and not call Sandra Fluke, or any woman, bad names.
I wonder if gold player George Tierney of Greenville, SC uses that language around his momma?
Man, I wish I could be there to watch when the first lawyer Tierney contacts laughs him out of the office.
Ah, thanks for the reminder. I’m not deep into PA anymore (casual gamer status downgraded to just too damn busy = I no longer get half the jokes), but I remember this beautiful moment. Incredibly, Googling reveals Teh Christoforo Saga continues; apparently this guy is incapable of understanding when it’s time to stop digging.
George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC also seems to share that inability. But it’s all good; whatever happens to George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC, George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC can always become a wingnut-welfare media jerk playing First Amendment Martyr. (“The liberal elitists don’t want you to know the truth about dick-suckers!!”) Rush won’t live forever.
Oh, my. I hope Jane didn’t hurt any ribs laughing at George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina when he
asked her todemanded that she “take it off google”. Take WHAT off? Tbogg? Or just the parts Tbogg said about George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina? Which were all true, and a picture of what George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina said to Sandra Fluke. On the Internet.I’m thinking the fine people at Google might want to talk to George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina and/or his attorney and explain that it’s bad form not to capitalize the name of their fine website.
Now I’m starting to wheeze, I’ve got to go take a break.
Would this conglomeration of George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC ad up to teh Google header George Tierney Jr of Greenville SC is fucked?
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina:
This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the Earth.
Yes, that George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina.
Actually I suspect that it’s leading up to George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina being seriously fucked. Teh stupid, it burns…
Is no one said “Golf Clap” yet!!!!
First comment at the link: “He didn’t win an oscar for this.”
John 11:35, motherfuckers!
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina is the kind of stupid that gets consulted by the paste-making industry as new flavors are devised. He works diligently cleaning the inside windows of short buses for the Greenville Unified School District, so his discerning tongue is in high demand.
George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina might not be aware that the Library of Congress acquired the entire Twitter archive in 2010. Congratulations!
Could I speculate that George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina
[redacted ...uncool - TBogg]
That would be irresponsible, so I won’t.
Tommy
George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina CAN HAZ MEME.
George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina
ROTFLOL! A flaming bullying douchebag royally hoist on his dumbass petard (psst, hey George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina, why doncha use that thar teh Google to look up the definition of petard???).
All I gots ta say: LOSER!!!!
And now a word from our sponsor. Takes a peckerhead to know an even bigger and DUMBER peckerhead.
P.S. It’s quite, uh, “telling” how George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina gets his rocks off bullying and yelling at strong smart successful women, like Sandra Fluke & Jane Hamsher.
Maybe George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina is short a few inches along with being stupider than a bag of hammers?? Cocktail weinies, anyone?
That. Is. Priceless. George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina should count himself lucky that nobody here — as far as I know — does a widely-read online comic strip.
By the way, here is my contribution to the cause of telling the story of George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina.
Ooooh, is that yours? That’s brilliant.
Mister TBogg, you must use this (with TDB’s OK, of course) in all future posts concerning George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina.
heh… you beat me to it (for realz). As I was making some coffee, the thought I had was: the George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina’s of this world are nothing more than yellow-bellied cowards shaking in their lil shoosies. They can dish it out like no one’s bidness, but they sure can’t TAKE it, can they??
Hey George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina: next time you might consider (btw, that means: THINK) first: if you can’t stand the heat, then stay out of the kitchen.
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina: LOSER girly-man.
Heh…yeah. I’m releasing it into the wild for all to use, like Linux or one of the Kardashians!
No worries. The kitchen is for the cunts, ya know. George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina wouldn’t be caught dead in one.
Ya mean the dick-sucking cunts, doncha?
I thought that’s how George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina so cleverly described, uh, them thar damn mouthy FemiNazis.
My bad. Yes, I do mean that George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina would reserve the kitchen for those FemiNazis he calls “dick-sucking cunts.”
Thank you for allowing me to clarify. I want to make sure George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina is accurately portrayed.
How many George Tierneys of Greenville, South Carolina does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. He just calls it a cunt and sits alone, in the dark.
Does Dan Savage owe anyone here any favors, because George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina, is really begging for a little of his google-fu. Dan, if you’re listening, that’s George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina.
Um, MoMule….is it a kitchen that he wouldn’t be caught dead in, or a cunt?
We are all George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina now
OMG, peeps – just did the google thing again…TBogg is down to no. 3, but guess who’s 1 and 2? Driftglass!
But it’s a reference back here to this post, so it’s okay.
George Tierney, Sr. of Greenville, South Carolina must be so proud of his famous son!
Now, what this guy needs from a PR point of view is a pithy nickname for the tabloids and the twitters. Something that’ll stretch our memory; something wide open that’ll really stick in the mind. G-tie! Nahhh. Tierbo! NAHHHH. Wait, this one will have everyone gaping:
geot.SC
Too subtle?
Hey George, let me introduce you to the Streisand Effect….
Couldn’t happen to a nicer scumbag.
Pardon me, I’m late to this party. Just who is this George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, anyway?
Somebody needs to DM this guy on twitter to let him know about this wonderful post. Oh, the gaskets that will burst!
My local sandwich emporium now has a sandwich called the George Tierney Jr.
It’s mostly pig labia, but there’s also a generous slice of bull tongue.
In honor of George’s slave-owning ancestors the dressing is Miracle Whip.
Tbogg up to # 2 and 3 for George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina.
I feel sorry for all the other George Tierneys. After George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina gets his big cash payout from having his attorney scrubs it from the intertubes, all the other George Tierneys will rightly come to him for restitution for his part in making their names synonymous with dickishness.
I envision a substantial claims settlement as he clearly should have been aware of all internet traditions.
George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is the Jew of Liberal Fascism.
So, this is from the facebook profile of one George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina:
He should have known this was going to happen.
I’ve a hunch George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina really, truly doesn’t understand how the Intertubes work. The website for his employer, Sunland Staffing, seems to have been designed in 1998 and never updated.
Well, he has that house on Foxcroft Avenue to relax in. Nice pool, too.
Oh my.
I love the smell of napalm on May 21, 2012. I hope George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina does also.
Moar like Tbagg, amirite?
Could you unpack that one for me?
I note for the record that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina did not call Sandra Fluke a cunt in the softer British/Australian sense Marc Maron references, but George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina called Sandra Fluke a cunt in the full-on American sense of the word. I suppose it is possible that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is British or Australian but my sense of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina based on a brief review of the Twitter account of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina was born in South Carolina (where George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina lives) and that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is simply a Southern-fried asshole.
On Google, just plain old “George Tierney” yields driftglass’s quote of tbogg as No. 2 and tbogg as No. 3.
George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina could never have imagined he’d be so famous on the intertubes. Yes, I’m just sure that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina could never have imagined it.
This is George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina’s Santorum moment.
Anybody notice how much this asshat looks like Breitbart? I think he’s Breitbarts death shit.
Are you talking about George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina? Personally, I think George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina’s got more of a George W. Bush/Dan Quayle kinda thang going on there.
Actually for this to be George Tierney of Greenville, SC’s “Santorum moment” we’d have to totally redefine “George Tierney” as something more memorable than a subspecies of drum (fish) that sounds like it’s being waterboarded while mating, and less pitiful than a senescent old fart who missed the first and only golf hole-in-one in his life by inches, and just won’t shut up about it.
George Tierney cunt now gets over 3.6 million hits and he owns the entire front page.
His mom must be so proud. “Those labor pains were worth it! My boy Goerge has made the Tierney name inseparable from cunt!”
In a world of so much spectacular Fail to choose from, especially Internet Fail, it’s hard to imagine picking a fav.
Well, it *was* hard to imagine. Before George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina.
of course, comments are fine, but should anyone in the future want to learn about the wisdom of George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina, their searches would be aided if cuntless I mean countless links and/or posts were created. In that way, thegoogle and other search engines would be more likely to be able to help internetlings discover the pearls of George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina.
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, nay, George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina, nay George Tierney Junior of Greenville, South Carolina, I hope you enjoy your ignoble fame. Tbogg’s link is number four when you now Google George Tierney. So put that in your hole and choke on it, George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina!
I was just sent this link from a friend, and we both grew up in Greenville and went to school with George (Unofficial Motto – “You’ll come for the Jesus, but stay for the racism!”)….anyway….
I know this guy personally, and if ever anyone was deserving of some viral internet attention, it’s this guy. He is EVERY BIT as big of a flaming asshole as this little snippet represents. He’s not someone who just “had an off day”…he’s such a jackass that eventually it garnered some national attention. He’s done this kind of shit for years and now is about to have a spotlight shined on it. It’s wonderful.
PLEASE run with this…nobody is more deserving. I’d be posting it to my FB wall except for the fact that we went to the same high school, and it would tip the hand before this off and running. Seeing this go viral would make me so happy!
It must feel good to see a bullying asshole get his due, and in such a public way!
They say that if you sit by the river long enough, you’ll see you enemy float downstream….
I hadn’t thought of this guy in years, but I can honestly say that some serious karma is about to be evened up in this world if it goes viral.
You have a point there.
George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is good for John McCain.
It’s a Goldbergism.
My submission to the Urban Dictionary:
Word: Tierneycut
Definition: A public display of massive stupidity or hostility that goes viral and results in the isolation of its originator.
Example: George applied a Tierneycut last week that was so offensive his female acquaintances refuse to speak with him.
I don’t suppose you’d be willing to go with “Tierneycunt”?
The second n could be silent, like George Tierney Jr of Greenville, South Carolina likes his women.
George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is now #1 on teh google in a search for George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina
Well played.
Our workplace first installed e-mail in 1994 and the IT guys warned us that anything we sent through it, security measures notwithstanding, might become available to anyone on the planet with a computer. What kind of nitwit expects confidentiality when he posts abuse on Twitter?
“all he ever wants to talk about is golf which is like the third gayest sport ever.”
Please don’t fight misogyny with homophobia.
George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina has been an endless source of entertainment for me.
Has anyone contacted George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina ‘s workplace yet? If not I can do that during office hours tomorrow. Someone should inform George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina ‘s boss of his slurs and his follow up with Jane.
Howdy, George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina. Did you have a good day?
Yes, this has been one of the most amusing Mondays in recent memory thanks to our host and the impenetrable wingnuttieness of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. God bless him.
I’d just like to say that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina sure has a pretty dick sucker. Maybe George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina should stop yapping and start sucking, my dick ain’t gonna get off on its own, now is it George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina?
@Rheinhard, I remember that episode. I learned of it when The Bloggess alerted a couple hundred thousand of her minions.
It’s hilarious when bullies encounter a world where non-douchecanoes have the real power.
Okay. 4th gayest, but the NASCAR guys aren’t going to like moving up…
I see ya pulled the comments by ‘parody George’. Probably for the best, given the content – not the crudeness (how could you parody that guy without crudeness?), but the likely counterproductive contact info. ‘Twas kinda funny stuff, though.
The real George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina reminds me of a character in a long-ago skit – Kevin Nealon on SNL, I think – who started a scene slapping around his woman in the audience of a talk show (on How to Satisfy Your Woman, or some Phil Donohue-ish thing like that). When asked his opinion on the show topic, he said ‘I know what women want, and it’s RIGHT HERE’ while pointing to (or grabbing) his crotch.
Yeah, that’s George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina.
Which George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, are you referring to? Are you referring to George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, or George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina?

George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina cmoooon down. This post is now on memeorandum.
You’re not taking this seriously. When you mock someone whom you don’t like by insinuating that they’re gay, you’re being homophobic. Your humor/insult is predicated on the notion that being gay is somehow contemptible. It’s actually a shitty thing to do.
You’re missing the whole idea of the post, which is to make sure everyone knows what a beckwit George Tierney junior of Greenville, South Carolina really is. Has nothing to do with being gay. In fact, you’re the only one who seems to be offended.
Wiping coffee off monitor.
Thank you.
Hey, George Tierney Jr of Greenville, South Carolina has posted 2 new tweets which show his determination to keep it classy. I’d say the people at Fark have it right: George Tierney (jr) of Greenville, South Carolina appears to be a colossal douchebag.
Also, someone noticed that the list of accounts he follows on Twitter contains a fair number of porn-related accounts. Hmm. His parents must be getting more proud by the minute. I guess he didn’t realize anyone could see that information.
Hey, did you hear that George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina is *not* aware of all Internet traditions? You know what they say: some people’s lives serve as examples, but the life of George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina serves as a warning.
George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina. Bookmark it, libs.
George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina. Also too.
You picked up on that, did you? Can’t get anything past you.
You’re right, this has nothing to do with being gay. So I take it you’ll agree with me that the homophobic jab was unnecessary. I say it was not just unnecessary, but wrong. In choosing to ridicule someone by calling them or their activities gay, a speaker tacitly accepts that being gay is worthy of derision, and expects the audience to share that presupposition. This is not a matter of my personal feeling of offense, but of the social responsibility that we all have not to treat sexual minorities like shit by using their identities as insults, and not to play along when others do so.
Look, I’m all for ridiculing misogynistic asshats. But let’s not be homophobic asshats in the process.
Could be wrong, but I think George Tierney Jr may be suffering from scopophobia, the irrational fear of being observed. Again, that’s scopophobia. And again, that’s George Tierney Jr.
I fear that he’s perilously close at this point to challenging the other riders on the Greenville South Carolina public transit system to “stop looking at him”, and George Tierney Jr may actually himself escalate his psychosis with attacks on public surveillance cameras on the streets of Greenville South Carolina with thrown rocks or a baseball bat.
It’s impossible to predict of course, but it is clear that George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina is in need of help and I urge George Tierney Jr to pursue the services of a reputable psychotherapist in Greenville South Carolina.
In a google for “George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina”, Tom, your post is currently first up.
Let me spell it out for you, Kevin: George Tierney, Jr, of Greenville, South Carolina, is a homophobic asshole. Evidence: his tweet of May 8 that says in part “no insurance for a gay couple.” (There’s likely more, but that’ll do.) TBogg was ridiculing his homophobia. Because, yes, George Tierney, Jr, of Greenville, South Carolina, is both misogynistic and homophobic. Whoda thunk it was possible? This is not fighting one with the other, this is ridiculing both together at the same time. Capiche?
ALERT – he’s live tweeting again…go there now to watch a train wreck live!!!!
BTW- Insider info – he still lives at home, so no big surprise that he was tipped off by “real life” contact from the sources posted earlier. I’m sure his parents are pissed that they are going to have to keep the phone off the hook….
LOL. Kevin takes this very seriously. So seriously he created an account just to express his concern about this particular issue.
He probably takes it almost as seriously as George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina takes golf.
Thank you Kevin for explaining to me that I am not taking my own post seriously. Now why don’t you pop over to Herman Melville’s place and ask him what’s up with all the fishing boat stuff.
I’m not quite sure. I *think* I mean George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, but perhaps I mean George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina? Definitely, yes, George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina!
Fishing?
Thank you, Kevin. That bugged me, too. I love everything everyone is saying here except “golf is the third gayest sport.” It’s a bummer to see the word “gay” used like it’s a bad thing, right?
TBogg, thank you for this great site. I saw it on a friend’s facebook page and hopped on the google bandwagon. I just have to say I think Kevin had a point about not throwing gays under the bus in our efforts to spread the word about what a hateful man George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is. I love everything everyone has been saying here but”golf is the third gayest sport” did make me wish “gay” hadn’t been used as an insult. It’s a bummer to see the word “gay” used like it’s a bad thing, right? Full disclosure: I used the word “gay” as an insult when I was 14. I just didn’t stop and think about it. I heard other people use it and followed along but it’s really important to not do that. If we want to be down on golf can’t we point out that it’s terrible for the environment? It excludes those who can’t afford to join a country club, so it’s kind of classist, right? The whole point of this discussion is to point out what a misogynistic ass George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is. Let’s not throw gays under the bus. Yes, one of my younger sisters is gay, and, heck yeah, I’m a protective elder sis, but I hope I’d be saying this even if I weren’t the proud older sis of a gay. George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina: bad. Golf: bad. Gay: not bad. Okay everyone? Can we all drag George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina through the mud and leave “gay” out of it? Please?
ps, TBogg, I love your idea of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina having to donate to Planned Parenthood!
Well said! Jeez, why can’t anyone else see this?
See if you can figure out why I called George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina’s absolute most favorite sport or thing in the whole wide world “gay”.
C’mon. I know you can do it…
Hey Mr. Bogg ,and Denizen Carpenters…
Was just thinking that it would be nice, not to mention fun, sometime over the next few days or so to do a reverse George Tierney of South Carolina to raise high the roof beam Googleplex in an effort to elevate someone from obscurity to #1 for all the right reasons.
If nothing else spotlighting someone for doing real good when faced with someone bent on doing just the opposite would balance the karmic suit-rahs of anonymous weavers of the interwebz everywhere.
Or some such thing.
.
I think my comment got filtered. :(
I just conducted a 44-minute telephone interview with George Tierney. I’m transcribing it now, what I can. I would very much like to share the uncut video with tbogg. :)
I find it funny/sad/creepy that a guy his age is a “Caddy”
Where I grew up, a caddy job was for kids from 7th to 12th grade.
What is this 25 – 35 year old MAN doing being a caddy?
Maybe he’s so mad that he’s a caddy at his age that he’s decided to take out his failure on women?
…
He’s 45.
Seriously?
Yes, really. That’s according to him. I just did a 44-minute interview with him for my satire site. I reeeeally want to share it with you. The whole video isn’t too big to send.
Email me the link if you put it up.
I don’t have your email. I’m still up and working on the story, I’d love to share it with you before it runs. The first half of my name is my website. You can email me through the contact page at GlossyNews and I can send it to you.
…to raise high the roof beam Googleplex in an effort to elevate someone from obscurity to #1 for all the right reasons.
Oh young Padawan, the Internet wasn’t designed for that kind of activity. Sweet thought tho.
I woke up today and realized I wasn’t George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. I win already.
Oh, Internets, bless your heart. Thanks again, Google, for also delivering unto me Georgie Boy’s company. If anyone wishes to contact Georgie Boy’s company to complain about his activities on teh Internetz, here it is.

George Tierney Jr of Greenville, South Carolina:
Bless your heart, you ignorant and sexist hick. Glad to see that even a caddy (who is no doubt in “peak physical condition”) cannot outrun karma. Maybe you should use those magical Jesusy powers that cured cancer to remove the large obstruction from your ass that is causing you to be such an intolerable prick.
And I am not talking about some tiny stick or twig in your derriere–you must have sixteen broomsticks bound in barbed wire and sandpaper for you to be that much of a hateful douche bag.
Justice is wonderful, George Tierney Jr of Greenville, South Carolina. Until you make amends and turn over a new leaf, everyone will make damn sure that you never live down your asinine comments, and we will be watching you like a hawk in case you decide to spew more of your hatred and/or inflammatory remarks.
I toast you, George Tierney Jr of Greenville, South Carolina.
You are a classless act and a shame to your state and country.
Yours truly,
Matt of Vancouver, Canada
Unless his twitter account has been hacked, George Tierney Jr of Greenville, SC is also a racist. Yes, he went there…. all spelled out and everything

Seems like a second update is needed for this!
You live up to your handle, thanks.
To be completely fair, a professional golf caddy may be any age. Not talking about those who just carry someone’s bag. Professional golfers rely on their caddies to help them make a lot of decisions during tournaments, and most prof caddies are scratch golfers.
I think that’s the image that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is trying to project of himself, but somehow it’s not working for me.
I don’t think of golf as a sport, per se, but it definitely requires some high level skills, imo, to be good at it.
I don’t belive that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is that good at golf, either, and that *may* explain his immense anger management issues. Who knows? And frankly, who cares?
It’s clear that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is an incompetent moranic raving nasty bullying homophobic racist sexist asshole.
A professional caddy? Doubtful.
I doubt that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina’s twitte account has been hacked.
I think that’s George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina in all his racist homophobic sexist bullying, uh, “glory.” Neatly exemplifying all of the notable characteristics of today’s modern conservative “christiany” white “oppressed” entitled bullying male.

One of my small indulgences is a daily perusal of the lightning box, yet today I was disconcerted to see my name tarnished by an odious ne’er do well. Needless to say, I do not idle away my time barking beef-witted vulgarities at women as this “George Tierney Jr” seems content to do. All I can truly say I share with this man is the same desire to see his name stricken from the records of the lightning box that it may no longer poison my own reputation. Alas, I know this is folly of the highest order. All I can ask is that I may be judged upon my own actions and graces as this prattling goose is judged upon his.
God bless the King and long may he reign.

Because you think “gay” is synonimous with “lamo” or because you think he has suppressed homoerotic urges? I suspect he does not. Most mysoginists are not gay they are drawn to and also hate females. Most gay men do not hate women.
“C’mon. I know you can do it…” sounds pretty condescending.
This whole insulting hime by calling his sport “gay” is an unfortunate blight on an other wise amazingly cool project you have here. Let’s not call him gay. Let’s call him at work hehehe ;-)
rspectfully your reader,
soup
Well said, sir, well said. May I be the first to express my approbation to you for coming all the way from the eighteenth century to take a part in this symposium? As you will descry from perusing the words of those joining in the badinage, we all share your abhorrence for this ill-spoken jackanapes who, alas, shares your illustrious name. May the Almighty forfend that he be a descendant of your noble loins!
Do convey our benisons to His Majesty the King.
Twitter account is officially deleted…..hope all you guys got some good screen caps. I know I did…..
Such a shame. It was almost two years worth of comedy gold, and I feel like we merely scratched the surface. He had some good rants for Tom Hanks and Oprah too, and it was just peppered with racist and misogynistic slurs.
So who’s going to do the tribute site?
I’m not at all surprised that a misogynist is also a homophobe. But TBogg’s original post does not mention Tierney’s homophobia at all, and it’s difficult to read an out-of-the-blue cry of “lol, GAY” as a criticism of homophobia rather than an affirmation of it.
And even if TBogg’s post had made it clear that Tierney is a homophobe, that wouldn’t excuse insulting him by calling him gay. Attacking him with the very same kind of homophobic rhetoric that he might use to attack someone else isn’t exactly an LGBT-friendly thing to do.
format fail
Dude, in the inimitable words of Sergeant Hulka, “Lighten up, Francis”.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say TBogg isn’t using “gay” BECAUSE it is a colloquialism for “lamo” nor is he using it to impute closeted homosexuality to the misogynist George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina.
Instead he is capitalizing on the absurd juxtaposition of calling a clearly misogynistic homophobe’s favorite thing (golf) “gay” for the dualistically ironic comedic effect of 1) pointing out George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina’s foolishness for earnestly employing “gay” as “lamo” (ie, a joke for those “in the know”, such as your enlightened self) as well as 2) verbally stinking a thumb in the eye of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina given that he will most certainly see all references to “gay as lame” as being in earnest and not in irony.
That pesky Google machine…. THIS is why the folks over the years have written “xxxxxxx for Dummies”…. series… You fill in the titles as you see fit… BUT, being from South Carolina, I don’t hold out much hope..
Just went to do my click on TBogg for George Tierney of Greeneville SC, and this post was in the number one spot. Perhaps Mr. George Tierney of Greeneville SC will have to change his name to something other than George Tierney of Greeneville SC.
TWITTER IS LIVE —- TWITTER IS LIVE…..
HE”S BACK FOR MORE…..OMG THIS IS GOING TO RULE. He’s reactivated his Twitter account and is “#WINNING”. Not a fake….all his 2000+ tweets are viewable now…..RUN and screen cap them while you can!!!!
Notice to latecomers — the action has moved a couple a threads to current.
Thanks!!!
Are you sure about that? I just went to the Twitter account for George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina (@geotie2323), and had no trouble accessing it.
EDITED TO ADD: Ah, I see. He’s back for more.
To get all pedantic (for the sake of precision and clarification), the phrase “like the third gayest sport ever” is an example of a hybrid utterance. From the wikipedia page on “heteroglossalia” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroglossia#The_hybrid_utterance ):
“The hybrid utterance, as defined by Bakhtin, is a passage that employs only a single speaker—the author, for example—but one or more kinds of speech. The juxtaposition of the two different speeches brings with it a contradiction and conflict in belief systems.
In examination of the English comic novel, particularly the works of Charles Dickens, Bakhtin identifies examples of his argument. Dickens parodies both the ‘common tongue’ and the language of Parliament or high-class banquets, using concealed languages to create humor. In one passage, Dickens shifts from his authorial narrative voice into a formalized, almost epic tone while describing the work of an unremarkable bureaucrat; his intent is to parody the self-importance and vainglory of the bureaucrat’s position. The use of concealed speech, without formal markers of a speaker change, is what allows the parody to work. It is, in Bakhtin’s parlance, a hybrid utterance. In this instance the conflict is between the factual narrative and the biting hyperbole of the new, epic/formalistic tone.”
-hope that helps!
For someone who publishes his opinions on the internet for all to see and comment upon, you don’t respond to criticism very gracefully.
George Tierney interview posted. Can find it through Google News.
I thought that was very graceful, but then I’m not a hand holder.
Site isn’t loading.
I know, it’s killing me.
Okay, fine. Please hold my hand. I’m clearly not getting it, so please explain to me why this wasn’t just a cheap homophobic jab that you took because it was easy, and because you figured it was okay to use homophobia to hurt people, as long as those people are themselves homophobic. Enlighten me. Be as smug about it as you want.
Well, I guess I could have taken a cheap shot at the humorless, but I don’t think you have gotten that one either.
I would like to direct you to “lucythefamouscat”’s scholarly treatment of the subject at comment #186 above. She delivered an explanation that should clarify why “Tbogg” the used “gay” in that context. Even to somebody who takes himself way too seriously.
Taking a less scholarly approach, “Tbogg” was speaking to Tierney using Tierney’s own voice to put him down for his cowardly behavior. Using language that Tierney should have no trouble understanding.
I hope I wasn’t being too smug for you.
I have a question for you in return.
You seem to be a mind reader. You gave a pretty detailed, precise account of what “Tbogg” was thinking in your last post and that got me thinking about how mind reading over the internet works.
Do the thoughts just flow up from the keyboard through your fingers and into your head, or does the rod up your butt serve as a hyper-sensitive antenna?
Oh Dear, It appears that George does not understand that when you tweet with a stanger you get all viral. Poor thing.
Thanks for at least giving me something to work with other than sarcasm and dismissive requests that I lighten up. The latter of which, by the way, is a pretty classic method of dismissing feminist criticisms of sexist speech without actually stopping to think about the implications of that speech. I’m seeing a parallel here…
Anyway, I get your point that TBogg was trying to put Tierney down while speaking in something like Tierney’s own voice. I also get how, assuming that this was actually TBogg’s intent (what was that about mind-reading?), he may have thought he was effectively skewering Tierney’s homophobic attitudes by employing those attitudes in a sarcastic context. But there’s a right and a wrong way to do this, and I still think that TBogg did it wrong. Nothing in TBogg’s original post accused Tierney of expressing homophobic attitudes. Reading the gay joke as a criticism of homophobia, when there’s absolutely nothing else related to that topic anywhere in the post, requires some very charitable reading between the lines.
But you know what? If TBogg had simply explained what his intent was, or at least shown some concern at the possibility that his insulting a man by calling him gay might be in some way bad, everything would have been peachy-keen as far as I’m concerned. What’s really disturbing here is not so much the homophobic joke itself as the refusal to even consider how such a joke might be problematic. When someone is telling you that your words are part of the machinery of oppression, you should at least listen.
I’m a level 13 Feminazi. At level 10, I went for the “Privileged Dude Mind-Leech” power rather than the “Insistent Use of Gender-Neutral Pronouns” one, since it goes better with my +2 armor of humorlessness.
I just want to say that “the machinery of oppression” is like one of the butchest things I have ever heard.
Thanks. I’m glad you like.
Ironically for someone who doubtless likes to lecture about fiscal responsibility, Tierney filed for bankruptcy in 2005. It is an especially bad idea for someone with public bankruptcy filings to antagonize the internet, since these filings contain SSNs and other info.

Oh, crap…you’re telling me that George Tierney, Jr, of Greenville, South Carolina is actually here in my very own Jeff City, rather than safely far away in Greenville, South Carolina? Is not even my home safe from these thugs?
