Alan Grayson really is nuts!

Alan Grayson is a freshman congressional representative from Florida. He is an angry, hateful, juvenile hypocrite, and with the addition of each embarrassing action he commits, Grayson has quickly painted himself as a target for defeat in the 2010 elections.

His latest notch on his idiot stick is something so incredible, that when I first heard about what he had done, I had to do some quick research in order to verify that I wasn't falling for some hoax. It turns out that his office has confirmed that it is real.

Angie Langley, a Republican activist from Florida, has a website called mycongressmanisnuts.com, which is dedicated to defeating Grayson next year. She has raised $4,000 so far, and after this news story gains more steam, she is undoubtedly going to be raising quite a bit more.

In response to this website, Representative Grayson fired off a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder in which he demanded that Langley's website be shut down and she be jailed for five years. Grayson's reasoning for this is because Langley apparently lives in the congressional district next door, yet she calls her website MYcongressmanisnuts.com. So, because this woman isn't a constituent of Graysons, he wants her thrown in jail for criticizing him. Wow.

I love this very first official complaint from Grayson's letter:
Ms. Langley has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly
tasteless and juvenile. Of the thousands of campaign committees reporting to the FEC, I doubt that any other one sinks this low. But that is not the primary purpose of this complaint.
Congressman, if it's not the primary purpose of the complaint, why is it even in there? You're whining to the Attorney General of the United States about the name of the website? Even more disturbing is Grayson's naked attempt to use his power as a member of Congress to intimidate a woman into abandoning her God-given right to speak and write freely.

What really makes this all so amusing is that this is the same man who called a woman a "whore" during a radio interview and said the Republican health care plan was for sick people to "die quickly." Now he has the chutzpah to complain about tasteless and juvenile?

And for any statist out there who would try to make the argument that Grayson has a point that Langley is breaking some federal election law, then I have an answer to that: It's a stupid and unconstitutional law. Guess what? Alan Grayson is my congressman too. I may live in California and he may represent a district in Florida, but the decisions he makes and the votes he enters on the House floor affect my life.

Hopefully, Grayson's increasingly bizarre behavior will ensure that the voters of his district in Florida see to it that he will have few more opportunities to cause any legislative havoc.

That she only said "nuts" is a testament to her own reserve.

This guy is a train wreck. He should be happy for the publicity. Obviously, he is looking for attention so now he gets it and doesn't like it. Mr. Holder make the bad girl stop calling me names. Napoleon was right, "In politics, stupidity is not a handicap."

How on earth did this idiot ever get elected in the first place??? Was he on good behavior his entire lifetime until he got elected? Or are the people in that district just that clueless?

Florida often seems to be a breed apart for incubating idiocy.
