Oh, how sorry I am that I missed this one…
Apparently, Lee Terry decided to pick a fight with Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. after hearing shouts come from his direction on the House Floor. Now, Terry’s never been the brightest Representative, but falsely accusing a kung fu master (seriously) of instigating a fight is probably not the smartest thing to do.
Terry finally apologized after it was clear that Jackson wasn’t the one who shouted out whatever it was that Terry took offense to in the first place. But think about how that fight would go. Seriously, look at the photos in this post at Leavenworth Street. I especially like the juxtaposition of Terry’s dorky Cat in the Hat with the bad-ass kung fu pose of Jackson.
No fistfights on the House floor, yet. But it’s still early.
I posted this story to my blog in Chicago. Now one of my many admirers, probably 2-3 at most, has a made a youtube video and dedicated it to some of my late bad video work.
It also demeans your congressman, but mostly picks on Jackson with some unwarranted video assaults on Mayor Daley and others. Click on this link and you can find your way to the video.

Also a Chicago columnist picked up the story from “the bloggers”. Probably the story that appeared in the Chicago Reader blog.

By the way I was looking through your website and I have only one thing to say, “How much for your women. I want to buy your women.” Hey, I am from Chicago. It is required that I use a “Blues Brothers” line.
Go Obama.
