Alan Grayson Still Off Meds, Likens GOP to Al Qaeda in Pilot’s Seat
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
For those of you who fear change, you have nothing to worry about in this post because it contains no surprises — I just wanted to remind everybody that Florida Rep. Alan Grayson is still crazy:
Democratic congressman Alan Grayson is at it again. This time he’s blasting Republicans in a TV interview set to air over the weekend.
“I want to see the schools work… I want to see hospitals work,” he said. “I don’t think the Republicans share that point of view.
“Why would you put people in charge of government who just don’t want to do it? I mean, you wouldn’t expect to see Al Qaeda members as pilots.”
Grayson goes on to say his statements don’t go to far and that he’s acting courageously.
With the Democrats’ approach to terrorism that we’re seeing these days, it actually wouldn’t surprise me to see Al Qaeda members as pilots one day. Hell, for that matter, they’d probably even do a better job representing Florida’s 8th District.
From Politico:
Grayson’s office is standing by his comments. The point he was trying to make: If Republicans want as little government as possible, why put them in charge of it?
So we can have less government, you loon!
Grayson, though his synapse misfire like the spark plugs on a poorly maintained 1972 Buick Skylark, does highlight the size of the problem America faces when he echoes the belief of most Democrats and even a few phony Republicans: The inherent purpose of government is to grow as large as it possibly can, and anybody who impedes or interferes with that rapid expansion doesn’t belong — or is a terrorist even.
Here’s the hopefully soon-to-be ex Congressman:
Jim Geraghty at NRO sums it up:
Democratic donors have given $2.6 million to Alan Grayson this cycle, and it is deeply satisfying to watch them waste their hard-earned dollars on a congressman who has absolutely no chance of retaining a seat in an R+2 district.
[...]
All the money in the world can’t save you if you are fundamentally out of step with your district’s values. In the end, his term in Congress will be remembered as a two-year-long, taxpayer-funded audition tape for MSNBC.
I wish I fully shared Mr. Geraghty’s optimism.

The man is an idiot. Truly dumb.
Need a very large cork and a hammer to fix this problem. They don’t make a Whahhh meter with a large enough dial to record this guy.
Why love to see someone grab this clown by the nose and kick his can, merry go round style.
Isn’t he too moderate for MSLSD?
The EPA needs to find out where this guy is getting his drinking water, and put it OFF LIMITS. I’m sure others in Florida are in danger also.
From Michelle’s keyboard to God’s ear…
please, please, please…
Alan Grayson needs to be pithed. It would likely improve his intelligence and behavior.
So it sounds like he is in favor of profiling?
Any chance of seeing if we could use Graysonto plug the oil leak in the gulf???
I normally applaud employers who give the mentally handicapped simple jobs, but… COME ON, FLORIDA! What were you thinking?!
Quieter for certain…
Prime example of a Congressman that needs to be voted out.
Did they know he was this big of a loon when they elected him?
Grayson: “Tell me about the rabbits, George. I want to hold them, and squeeze them…….”
This is the kind of behavior you’d expect of someone with end-stage dimentia or syphilis. Egads. This guy does not need to be a paid political official, just put him in a corner phonebooth with his own karioke machine. Send the short bus back to pick him up for supper and bed time.
Red Dog,
Don’t WE pay for the short bus?
Actually we like to fly the planes, drop bombs and then fly back for more bombs……..
Hangfire: Yes but the cost of keeping watch over a lunatic like this is well worth it. Although it may be a better use of public money for him to inventory skivvies in Afghanistan.
Honestly, we should require every person elected to Congress to write out the Constitution in their own hand before taking the oath of office. At least that way we would know they had at least read the thing once.
Hey, Flyman – I’ll help load the bombs, you can do the precision bombing!
The difference being the Buick just needs new points, condenser, rotor arm/cap, and maybe new plugs and it’s good for another 50K mi. Greyson has never fired on all cylinders and never will.
Mr. Dexter Alarius #19 – Frankly, you give these gubmint servants too much credit. The people elected thus far can’t read a cereal box and you are thinking they could read and then write out the Constitution? Heh, that’s funny. But,it would be nice if it was mandatory that they at least try..I like the idea myself because then I wouldn’t keep thinkin’ they all have mental problems.
The craziness is a cover for not accomplishing much.
I’d be in favor of opening the hood and having a good look around…
If the GOP challenger has a half a brain, they’d be put all these Grayson soundbites together in collage ad.
People of Florida, one of your villages is missing it’s idiot. This guy shouldn’t get more than two votes (assuming his mother votes).
I am also assuming he has no known father.
Can’t some repub. staffer plant some cocaine or a hooker in this guy’s office.
Radio Shack has all kinds of listening devices…..bug this guy’s office….it must be a mine field.
Repubs. better start getting dirty. America is facing extinction while our chinless and spineless leaders are whistling in the wind.
Brewer, Palin and Bachman seem to be the only “men” and only patriots in D.C.
The last time the GOP “got dirty” like that was involved a break-in at the Watergate Hotel. That didn’t end so well for the GOP.
Let’s get tough and stay tough. Let’s fight hard and mean. But I hope we never get dirty that way.
I wonder how many dem leaders wish he would take up this sport?
There is nothing wrong with Grayson that couldn’t be fixed by Nurse Ratched and a bit of shock therapy. Maybe a hockey puck for him to bite down on too.
Maybe he has rabies. I’m sure I saw him foaming at the mouth.
swede #21
Gives new definition to the meaning of Lemon Law. Someone should demand they take back this rentawreck. Are his constituents the same folks that couldn’t manage a vote without hanging chads?
Some folks in Central FL, embarrassed by this bozo created a PAC with a website devoted to Grayson – http://www.mycongressmanisnuts.com/
I checked in and found the site is now blocked. But they still have a Facebook page up. They’re working hard to get him booted.
Yes he is an idiot, a fool, clown and jerk but he is fun to watch. He says what most of the Democrats really want to say. Should he be defeated in November I am sure PMSNBC will find him a job. He and Rachel Maddow will be making guest appearances on World Wide Raslin’-Rachel Maddow will pin him three times in a row, she being the more manly of the two.

An Armed Society is a polite society.
Every state should have a recall procedure for any elected official especially when that official violates the oath to the Constitution.
This guy must not be taking advantage of the Limousine Health Care Plan congress has, either that or his meds aren’t on the formulary. He should request an appeal if their not, his guy is nuts.
*Couldn’t BP use this guy to plug that oil leak at the bottom of the gulf?; They could call it the Grayson Constipater!
Could be dangerous bjc. If you put that fat bag of hot air under extreme pressure a mile deep, the resulting release of methane could melt the polar ice cap, flooding Man/Bear/Pig’s new seaside bungalo. A “Man Caused Disaster!”
Could be, he does have the bigger boobs.
*He is for sure a man/woman created disaster; His parents must be so proud.
*Seriously though, how can people actually vote for nutbags like this?; 300 million people in this country and the best voters can do is Grayson, Pelosi, Rangel, Reid and pretty much close to 531 others that don’t have a clue, while at our founding, we had an abundance of fine folks.
Who else is there to vote for? Could it be politics has in large measure become so disreputable that most people of genuine character, integrity and principle are not interested?
There was a guy in our neighborhood who was a successful business leader, national church leader, coach, educator, board member and had an impeccable state wide reputation. People tried to talk him into running for congress for years. He would have been a great congressman or senator, and he could have won – but he just said “I wouldn’t make a very good whore”.
What a fool.
As a Republican, of course I don’t want the schools to work so that my grandchildren will not receive a proper education, remain ignorant and have no prospects for their futures.
As a Republican, of course I don’t want the hospitals to work either, especially if I, or any of my family or friends have to go to one, so that I know I will receive incompetent and indifferent care.
Who the heck elected this idiot?
This guy expresses exactly what most libs think. He is not a “radical” in the dem party. He IS the dem party.
Grayson is a genuine DemonSheep.
If the GOP doesn’t make advertising gold out of this creep,then it deserves every last thing Ann Coulter said about it:

Hey, I’m probably one of the few here that has actually owned a 1972 Buick Skylark!
I think Alan just “pwned” himself on this one though.
This is the argument being made by Case against Djou here in Hawaii – that – gasp – Djou is opposed to Obama. Saturday night a Republican may be representing Obama’s home district. If that happens I hope Djou stands in front of Toot’s old condo with a victory sign. I’ll get a photo if he does.
Democrats.
’69 Riviera. It was big and baaaaaaddddd.
This low life piece of pig dung performs perfectly as the poster boy for the Democrats. If you want to know what is wrong with America take a close look at this dirtbag.
The libs like to endlessly rehash Rush Limbaugh’s long-ago prescription drug problem. This guy seems to get high as a kite without any meds at all! Grayson, you are one talented individual.

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.
If he loses the election, I have no doubt he’ll show up in the Obama administration. Tammy Duckworth is offered as evidence. I was in Illinois for that election, and our relief that she lost was short-lived.
Greasy Grayson is the House equivalent of Bill Maher. Neither are very smart and both get attention by making outrageous statements. When I was a kid, when somebody said something stupid, we’d say, consider the source and ignore it. With Grayson, consider the source. And ignore it.
It scares me that there are enough people in a Florida district that think like he does to get him elected.
I happened to be talking with a friend from Orlando last night and brought this up. He said during the campaign Grayson was just a normal (for a Dem) candidate playing up the Obama hopey/changey pitch. He actually looked center left. Central Florida would not elect a liberal clown like he is now.
So when Mr Grayson gets to Washington, he finds himself on the same stage with 434 other folks. How do you stand out from this crowd? Drop your pants. Do and say stuff that gets attention and cameras pointing at you – playing the fame game.
I don’t believe he is as stupid as he looks or sounds. You can’t pass the Florida bar and have a successful practice if you’re stupid. As bizarre as it looks, he will parlay the notariety he is getting into future income. MSNBC? Radio gig? Watch for it.
