  Glad to hear you say it.

  Members of congress like Mr. Grayson are confused, they should go talk to Michele Bachmann or Peter King.

  Plus, he should listen to his hardworking Republican colleagues like Trent Franks who have listened to the amazing revelations given by Orly Taitz and now realize that the prez’det might be a furriner.

  Gawd, how I do miss J.D.

  Ted, even if you’re right I refuse to condemn rep. Grayson for saying that Republicans want seniors to ‘die quickly’ when we hear not a peep from the other side, except for a handful of laudatory accolades for crap like the following:

  “Last week, Democrats released a health care bill which essentially said to America’s seniors: ‘Drop dead.’ ”

  – rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-Florida) July 21st.

  I was talking to a senior that I consider a very wise individual, and this weekend she said, “You know what concerns me about the 500 billion in cuts to Medicare? Maybe not, but I can’t help but think they know that as seniors we’ve been through World War II, we’ve seen the evils that lurk in this world, we have gained great wisdom from our years, and they’re willing to let us die off more quickly so that we’re not around to try to get our wisdom across to the young people of what is at risk by this government takeover.”

  – rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) just last Thursday.

  Yes, rep. Grayson is a demagogue but it seems like this is another case of IOKIYAR, and I’m sick of always hearing these kinds of disgusting statements and distortions made by their side but we’re still supposed to play nice.

  When the RNC condemns rep. Brown-Waite and rep. Gohmert then and only then will I step up and condemn Grayson.

  I must not read enough liberal news – why is Alan Grayson being berated?

  This must be Tedski’s “sister Souljah moment”.

  Yeah, but he’s our nutbag and disgrace!

  No, Michele Bachmann is a nutbag and a disgrace. Trent Franks is a nutbag and a disgrace. I do agree that Grayson is getting to be a tad irritating with his relentless attention-whoring but I’m not putting him anywhere near the same category as the nutbags of the GOP.

  Reading some of the comments (Eli, Appleblossom, Donna), I can only hope that the Mayan Calendar is correct.

  Agreed. He is doing the same thing as the other side. I just wonder if he’s the pot or the kettle.

  Meanwhile, rep. Joe Wilson (remember him) of South Carolina has the swine flu.

  There may be some irony in that statement somewhere.

  It’s fine to say it, but it would be more interesting if you would justify it…

  the guy is from Florida, what do you expect…that state just has a zero quality people factor. People live in Florida to distribute illegal drugs, promote prostitution and pornagraphy, die, and rape the treasury for hurricane money, to cheat at college football, to screw orphan lives, fix elections, raise serial killers, execute innocent men, become oxy condone addicts……I and have their policiticians embarrass them….the only thing the damn state has going for it is that is it the setting for the American Movie Classics…..Porky’s and The Longest Yard.

  Miami Vice, home of the bang bros., retirement destination, Hurricane relief in 92, 94, 97, 99, 2003, and Katrina( got more than Louisana, nice work Bush brothers), Original BCS guys all from Florida, 2000, Gary Gilmore, Cunanan and Ted Bundy are all from Florida, Todd Willingham, executed in 2004 has pretty much been proven innocent. Rush and Noelle Bush. Dude, that State sucks. I think John Kyl should move there.

  I agree with Dave Niewert at Crook & Liars.

  I think it’s effing’ wonderful that we finally have a liberal in Congress who doesn’t lay down and curl into a fetal ball at the FIRST sight of a Republican.

  I guess Katherine Harris is now officially off the radar then?

  I just wrote “2000″ on the assumption that people associate that with Harris. I did skip the McMartin trial when a bunch of dudes were wrongfully convicted. And every kidnapping that Nancy Grace reports on is from Florida. Texas and Colorado are not fare behind in Ridiculousness, Colorado gets to claim balloon boy, Columbine, Kobe debacle and Jon-Benet, but Florida has more Walmarts-per capita.

  And that Florida attemped to steal spring training from Arizona about 20 years ago. Now it is just Maricopa County stealing from Tucson.
