Add Grayson to that list

Rather than apologizing for calling a female official at the Federal Reserve a "K Street whore," Florida Rep. Alan Grayson defended his remarks Tuesday and referred critics to read the "secondary dictionary definition" of the word "whore," Politico.com reported.

Another piece of work. I do not think what Gayson said will sit well. Ther will be more on this I'm sure.

We need more Graysons. As for his comments, the woman was the head of Enron's lobbying arm. Probably not the most tactful way of putting it, but if the shoe fits...

Still, does it give this man the right to call her a whore? I'm thinking no. Do we need more men calling women whores because of something they did?

Even your own people say "this guy's one fry short of a Happy Meal" and you think we need more of them?

Like I said, sounds about right. In my eyes, as long as he keeps cutting through the BS and being as principled as he is, I don't really care if he hurts the feelings of some lobbyist scumbag.

The Democratic party has sold itself out and shown themselves to be spineless cowards. I don't identify with them at all, so no, they're not "my own people". I'd respect them a heck of a lot more if there were more Graysons and Frankens and fewer Reids and Baucuses

Ive said alot worse about Pelosi.

But then again I wasent on national radio :03:

But were getting away from the Anchor topic which was Mr. Fwanks comments.

Sorry about that.

AVGWarhawk 10-27-09 06:19 PM

Sure, I have said plenty worse about Pelosi but on on the national new level for all to see and hear. Mookie thinks that is fine for one to do. :doh:

Corporate lobbyists are whores. They're parasites feasting on the body of our republic. P*ss on them.

But she's not a corporate lobbyist any longer, she's a government official. Are you forever defined by any job you have held in the past?

I agree.

However, I'd like to add special interest lobbyists to that list as well.
