It will be a small silver lining, given all the increased toxicity of this year. But it will be worthy of a raise of a glass to the (hopeful) ending of this disgusting slime of a man from the national stage.
...Barring some enormous upset, tonight in the Florida Democratic Senate Primary, Patrick Murphy, the empty suit congressman from the Miami area will defeat Alan Grayson, the maniac congressman from the Orlando area. In a year of bad developments on the political scene, Grayson’s departure from elected office will rank as genuine improvement. He stood out early his first term, when he called a witness testifying before Congress a “K Street whore.” Grayson compared Republicans to al-Qaeda, called his 2010 GOP opponent “Taliban Dan,” and contended the Republican plan for health care was “die quickly.” He’s threatened reporters. He was so unhinged and out of control, he was called “one fry short of a happy meal” … by Anthony Weiner...
It’s not just that he has become embroiled in a bizarre – and nasty, and public – divorce/annulment/custody fight. Nor is it that his ex-wife of 20 years has accused him of domestic violence, including one incident in which he allegedly “hit her on the back of the head with a large rock.” (Grayson denied the allegations, but two liberal groups pulled their support anyway.) Nor is it that the New York Times reported in February that Grayson, the anti-corporate populist, had run a Cayman Islands hedge fund while in Congress, in which he encouraged investors to, as the Times put it, “capitalize on the unrest he observed in the world, and to take particular advantage when there was ‘blood in the streets.’” Nor is it that, when a reporter dared ask about these things, Grayson snapped, “Are you some kind of s****ing robot? You go around s****ing on people?
How bad is Alan Grayson? Bad enough to convince Harry Reid that Grayson has “no moral compass.” Good riddance, Alan Grayson.
