Politico, noting the bipartisan fallout over Alan Grayson calling female Fed advisor Lisa Robertson a “whore,” finds even liberal blue-state Democrats scornful of the loose-cannon Florida Dem:
“Is this news to you that this guy’s one fry short of a Happy Meal?” asked Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.)
House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer defended Robertson, whom he said he knows.
“I think it’s inappropriate and unfair,” the Maryland Democrat said. He decried the “heated rhetoric” that he said interferes with the ability solve problems.

Democrat Dina Titus of Nevada called Grayson’s remarks “a bit extreme and rather sexist.”
Indeed. Read the whole thing, which also addresses Grayson’s improper promotion of a website on the House floor that had links to his campaign fundraising site. Floridians must be so proud of a Democrat who embarrasses even Democrats from New York City and Maryland.

Yet
proudgop (Diary) Monday, October 26th at 9:19PM EST (link)Yet, will the Democrat Congressional Committee give money to support his race?
Will any of these so called Dems who are outraged give, continue to give, or ask for refund due to his comments?
on all of the above I doubt it
"a bit extreme and rather sexist.” Wow, what a blistering condemnation!!
USNJIMRET (Diary) Monday, October 26th at 10:05PM EST (link)Of course, had the man who made such a remark been a Republican ………..well, we all know how that plays out, don’t we?
If he was a Republican
mfarmer (Diary) Monday, October 26th at 10:54PM EST (link)of course he would be crucified. We’ll see how it plays out, but, if he continues to get Democrat support and scoots on by this, I never want to hear another Democrat complain about civil discourse.
and if he was a Republican
bk (Diary) Tuesday, October 27th at 5:00AM EST (link)He’d be called a typical Republican and his name would be mentioned about 500 times a day on the MSM, dwindling to maybe 20 times a day by next year.

harlan Tuesday, October 27th at 12:31AM EST (link)…kudos to all the ignorant, dumb-ass, un-informed,….well, dumb-asses in florida that put this clown in office.
you must be very proud of yourselves.
Do you have children, oh brilliant grayson-oriented floridians? With your dismal votes, you have effed them in the derriere.
Really. Good show.
back off a bit
morstar150 (Diary) Tuesday, October 27th at 12:36PM EST (link)Harlan, Please don’t insult Floridians with your better then thou attitude.
This guy is a wealthy sleazy attorney. He used that money to create an image of a caring humanitarian. He took that image and derided the coattails of one of the least popular presidential candidates of our time while riding the coattail of the Magic one. I sorry that some Floridians didn’t see the truth, but apparently, neither did our nation.
In simple terms he’s lucky to have a job in congress and if the Republican Party can get a credible candidate to take him on he will be defeated.

Hey Florida
redpens (Diary) Tuesday, October 27th at 5:31AM EST (link)are you happy that this clown is representing you? Are you all in hiding? I’d be running for the swamps if Grayson were my Rep.
This guy
Paige Dulli (Diary) Tuesday, October 27th at 9:22AM EST (link)is not even from Florida! He’s nothing but a carpetbagger. How he got elected I will never know. What an embarrassment to the Sunshine State.

Perhaps the House should deal with this
mkaye1 Tuesday, October 27th at 8:29AM EST (link)The House of Representatic=ves that quickly found the time to admonish Rep Joe Wilson should think about publically admonishing Representative Gratson for his bringing shame on Congress. Of vourse they won’t–he’s blue.
Don't tread on Florida!
morstar150 (Diary) Tuesday, October 27th at 12:52PM EST (link)Harlan, redpens, and pdulli; I am curious where you are from that you can so freely insult Floridians. Apparently, you know very little about our state and don’t know that along with a Republican governor (who we are trying to permanently remove from the American political scene, in favor of Marco Rubio) we also have a Republican controlled Senate, and a Republican controlled House. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican as well as the State Cabinet.
I call you on this one. Fess up, tell me about your state.
Oh! and by the way, Greyson’s district is one that leans democrat but is now in play.
