Grayson Another Windbag Statement Just Slightly Out Of Touch

It’s time that Alan Grayson received an ass kicking. It is one thing to talk and expect retaliation, but it is completely another thing to consistently attack with language that is designed to intimidate when you are supposed to be representing constituents from your home state.

Trust me, Grayson speaks only for himself. The buzz in Orlando is that he should be recalled. I am all for it.

Florida Rep. Alan Grayson called an aide to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a “K Street whore” during a radio interview that aired last month, Roll Call reported.

According to the audio posted on YouTube, Grayson, a Democrat, reportedly said on the Alex Jones radio show, “Here I am, the only member of Congress who actually worked as an economist. And she’s, this lobbyist, this K Street whore, is trying to teach me about economics.”

Grayson, a first term congressman, was allegedly referring to Bernanke adviser Linda Robertson, who Grayson said had headed up Enron Corp.’s lobbying shop in Washington, D.C., the newspaper reported.

A Democratic aide of Grayson’s later defended his statement, telling the newspaper, “The Congressman’s choice of the words referred to her career as a lobbyist and her history of promoting whomever and whatever pays.”

“Congressman Grayson was an economist and believes she is not qualified to attack complex financial reform policies,” the aide reportedly said.

The remarks are the latest controversy for Grayson, who just last month said Republicans’ health care plans were intended for Americans to “die quickly.”

Grayson, who is Jewish, was also reprimanded by the Anti-Defamation League for calling the current health care system a “holocaust in America.”

Grayson’s comments about Robertson have been roundly criticized by Republicans and his own Democratic colleagues, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y.

“I think it’s inappropriate and unfair,” Hoyer told Politico.com.

“Is this news to you that this guy’s one fry short of a Happy Meal?” said Weiner, according to the Web site.
