Alan Grayson Has Got To Go: Calls Fed Adviser A “K Street Whore”

WashTimes:

Grayson calls Fed adviser ‘K street whore’

By Amanda Carpenter

Alan Grayson, Florida Democrat, has a reputation for inflammatory rhetoric, but he took it even further when showing his disdain for Federal Reserve senior adviser Linda Robertson by calling her a “K Street whore” in a recent radio interview.

“This lobbyist, this K street whore, is trying to teach me about economics,” Mr. Grayson fumed in a segment for a radio program hosted by Alex Jones on the Genesis Communications Network.

“This K street whore is trying to teach me about economics,” Mr. Jones repeated back to the congressman. “Who was that particular K street whore?”

“I don’t remember her name,” Mr. Grayson, who once worked as an economist and conveyed he did not feel Ms. Robertson was qualified to lecture Congress on financial matters, said. “This was several month ago, but you can look it up, the lobbyist who was the head lobbyist for Enron was hired with our taxpayer money to try and spend this office effort to try and get transparency at the Federal Reserve.”

Mr. Jones confirmed later in his show, Mr. Grayson was referring to Ms. Robertson. A short and a long form version of the audio clip have been uploaded to YouTube.

Mr. Grayson’s spokesman Todd Jurkowski declined to comment on the exchange when asked by The Washington Times for clarification.

Although Mr. Grayson is a freshman on Capitol Hill he is already well-known for making politically incorrect remarks. He’s called Rush Limbaugh a “has-been hypocrite loser” and accused Republicans of wanting people to “die quickly” on the House floor. When the GOP asked him to apologize he took again to the House floor, this time invoking the Holocaust. “I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America,” he said.

And these aren’t even the latest offensive things he’s said. During a television interview on MSNBC’s “Hardball” with Chris Matthews last Friday Mr. Grayson compared former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney to a vampire. “I have trouble listening to what [Cheney] says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking,” he said. “But my response is this: he’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?”

    I can’t f-ing believe this butt-clown. He has a steady, consistent case of verbal diarrhea.

    I’d like that SOB to come up to me and call me the “enemy”. I spent 5 years in the US Army, and this foul P.O.S. hasn’t got one friggin clue as to what the people of this country want. It’s disgraceful. He’s a friggin joke, and his 15 minutes of fame are just about up. I can only hope and pray that the voters in his district get fed up with his oral garbage and send him packing to be a rodeo clown or something.

    You Mr. Grayson are a class A douchebag.

          AAAAHHHH the hornet’s nest he stirs up when he tells it like it is…finally someone trying to clean up Washington and all the corruption. And typical of the ignorant American public that rants and raves about “the government”, “waste of money”, “high taxes” and so on, they go after the guy for calling it like it is. If you anti- Grayson people had a clue what was good for the country instead of relying solely on your fascist lobbying jobs to tell you your talking and walking points you would kill yourselves for being so stupid. That would free up resourses for those of us who work to make the country a better place.

            so calling a woman a whore has what to do with cleaning up Washington? you want to talk about “Ignorant Americans” you should look in the mirror. defending this piece of garbage. every time he opens his mouth its either A) something crazy, or B) something crazy thats also a lie.

            Republicans want people to die quickly? you call people stupid because we don’t want off the hook whackjobs in congress.

            and another thing, how is creating more government going to clean up government?

            my plan for a better country is to work hard and run every single person that considers themselves a liberal, progressive out of any position of power.
