WASHINGTON — The Florida Democrat who said Republicans want sick people to "die quickly" is apologizing again for his inflammatory rhetoric, this time for insulting a senior Federal Reserve adviser using a derogatory term for women.

Amid growing criticism from across the political spectrum, Rep. Alan Grayson said late Tuesday it was inappropriate for him to call Fed adviser Linda Robertson a "K Street wh*re" during an interview last month on the "Alex Jones Show," a syndicated talk radio program.


The Associated Press: 'Die quickly' Democrat kicks up new controversy

I don't understand the appeal of this guy. I don't even understand how he became a Congressman. As a Democrat, he doesn't speak for me, that's for sure. I think he's an embarrassment to the party, and I hope he has a serious challenger in his next primary election.

I like this guy. 'Bout time the Dems stop pussyfooting around worried that they might say something that gives the Republicans something to twist and use against them. 'Bout time someone calls the K Street wh*res exactly what they are -- K Street wh*res. The problems isn't what he says, the problem is that no one expects a Dem to speak so openly honest.

I am sure his words were only literally rhetorical in a literal sense.

If he hadn't said it, a lot of people would have never known.

Par for the course.

Here we have a man making a stand against big corporate money and influence in our Government.

The average family in America doesn't stand a chance against these corporations.

So what does the OP choose to start a thread about?

How much of a potty mouth the guy is!

Grayson frankly one of the few Congressman with enough of a spine and character to take on this racket and the OP is bashing him for his potty mouth.....lol


[ Oh and the OP doesn't understand what his appeal is?...........What is this? American Idol?...........I thought we were trying to effect change in Government?]

Well, I think the guy could've been a little more I don't know, polite in his ranting. There's no need for names, I don't like it when the repubs do it & I don't like when the libs do it. As libs, we should be better than that.

So far, no one has posted an example of a proper rendition of the message he had every right to convey.

Anyone want to give it a shot?
