Grayson calls Fed adviser 'K Street whore'
Washington Times ^ | 10/26/2009 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 10/27/2009 7:44:43 AM PDT by markomalley

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 months 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.

So is Grayson a hanging chad or a dimpled chad?

Funny thing is, a K street whore most probably could teach Rep. Grayson a few things about economics.

But democrats are the compassionate well-reasoned party that care about and respect women, right?

He’s probably a hanging chad unless he gets to throw a punch to get himself wee wee’d up.

Very possibly a Tourette’s case on display.

If he isn’t being directed to say this stuff, somebody ought to seriously consider having his head examined.

Boy, this guy just can NOT put the shovel down. I wonder if he’s just trying to drum up “tourism” for next year when everyone comes to Florida to work for whoever his opponent is.

K St is in DC where all the lawyers are? Sounds like the term K Street whore is redundant. I bet the kind of whores who work for their money know Grayson well.

That video should be retitled, “Rep. Grayson discovers that his mail-order law degree might not have been worth the expense.”

Perhaps she is a whore and Grayson intimately knows form personal experience. It appears that Grayson is suffering from syphilitic dementia. His brain now consists of 2 neurons held together by a spirochete.
Grayson has a lock on the demented and bipolar vote in Orlando.

This turkey is the congress critter for my district in Florida... We are embarrassed with the antics, policies and ideology of this idiot.

I assure you that there is and will continue to be a diligent effort to remove this slug from office and replace him with someone who has some basic conservative principals, traditional values, and a mature sense of right and wrong.

This guy has the common sense and the emotional maturity of a 12 year old - and that maybe giving him the benefit of the doubt.

We have number of good conservative candidates that have indicated a willingness to serve the good people of Florida's 8th Congressional District.

Once the dust settles and we know specifically who will be this fool's challenger, many of us will do all we can to make sure that he's toast.

You just mentioned another head case!

As if things weren’t sufficiently mad in America, we have to have crazy people influencing how things are run!
