But Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) hasn’t paid much attention to the old adage about being seen and not heard. Just two months into his first term, he’s already making a name for himself with a shoot-from-the-lip style and an ideological edge that some argue is ill-suited for the competitive, suburban Orlando seat that he represents.
On Wednesday, Grayson weighed in on the dispute between the Obama administration and Rush Limbaugh, calling the conservative talk show host “a sorry excuse for a human being.” In January, he referred to Limbaugh as a “has-been hypocrite loser” who “was more lucid when he was a drug addict.”
Looks like Greyson comes from the Joe Biden school for the verbally challenged. How does a kook like Greyson get into Congress? Easy!
During the past election, [liberal blogger and political consultant] Stoller led efforts to recruit liberal primary candidates to challenge moderate Democratic members of Congress throughout the country.
Can't have any more "moderate" democrats, can we now?
“For someone in Congress, he’s really out there. He comes across as a total ideological flake,” said Florida Republican media consultant John Dowless.
Why yes he does. Greyson has already made waves for absolutely lambasting bank CEOs about their million dollar bonuses:
Of course, it's easy to point a finger in front of a camera at bank CEOs for million dollar bonuses. In Greyson's case, however, it's shear hypocrisy of such degree that it's almost unfathomable. Even though he excoriated CEO million-dollar bonuses, the man turned around and voted for both the non-stimulus stimulus boondoggle ($800 billion +$250billion in interest over 10 years) in addition to the $410 billion Obama budget boondoggle that is now held up in the Senate. That's almost $1.5 trillion in wasted spending and it's only 6 weeks into his first term. Can anyone point the finger at him for trillion-dollar wasteful spending???
