My congressman is nuts

There is much to ponder today — an escalation in Afghanistan, the disaster that is Pakistan, elections Tuesday that could hit Democrats hard and historic healthcare reform hanging in the balance.

But I am going with Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.). I know he has had too much press and that you have already read too much about him this week, but I want you to know that someone is fighting back against the weeping, offensive showman who represents the 8th district of Florida.

To answer www.congressmanwithguts.com, Grayson's site that boasts his willingness to stand up to opponents and never back down and has helped raise more than $200,000, there is now www.mycongressmanisnuts.com, a political action committee started by outraged residents of Central Florida who are desperately hoping to pitch Grayson in next year's election. That won't be easy — so far the GOP hasn't found anyone willing to take on a stop-at-nothing, bombastic buffoon like Grayson. 

But some of his constituents have clearly had enough. In announcing their protest, the PAC states that Grayson's "self-indulgent behavior has paralyzed his ability to serve as an advocate for the citizens of Central Florida.” The PAC noted Grayson's description of the GOP health reform plan as wanting sick people to "die quickly," of our nation's 47 million uninsured as a "holocaust" and of Republicans as "knuckle-dragging Neanderthals." Also noted is a quote from Grayson that "no one cares about bipartisanship" — "Alan Grayson only cares about Alan Grayson appearing on YouTube."

Well said.
