The gist: With his antics, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is making a mockery of his office and letting down constituents. * * * In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the 8th District Democrat asked that a Lake County woman behind a Web site critical of Grayson be investigated, prosecuted, fined and imprisoned -- for five years. * * *
Being the target of rough criticism is an occupational hazard for public officials, especially those as high-profile as a U.S. congressman. Any politician who pursues legal action against critics, even critics who may not have followed the letter of the law, calls into question his commitment to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.
It's an odd and ironic response from Mr. Grayson, one of the most intemperate voices in Washington. This, after all, is the congressman who called a former lobbyist now advising the Federal Reserve "a K Street whore." Who said that former Vice President Dick Cheney should "STFU" -- an acronym for a vulgar phrase used in Internet banter starting with "shut the" and ending with "up." Who declared on the U.S. House floor that the Republican health plan was for Americans to "die quickly" if they get sick.
Mr. Grayson's overheated reaction to the Web site parody adds to his image as a polarizing, divisive figure in Congress, an institution that runs on coalitions. It detracts from his credibility as a serious representative of his Central Florida constituents.
With a year still to go in his first term, his act is wearing thin.

He’s a wacko and brings shame to Florida.
Indeed. And for his childish antics he should be disbarred.
The good news is he will almost certainly be defeated next election. I have a good Congress critter right now but he’s had enough and getting out.
Keep it up.
The people in your district and the nation may seem to be asleep, but this nation has little tolerance for bullies and tyrants.
Grayson: One of leaders of cuckoos for Obama. Co-leader is Dennis Kucinich. Others include Maxine Waters, Jim McDermott, Maurice Hinchey, John Murtha, Sheila Lee Jackson, and Nancy Pelosi.

He must be pretty embarrassing for the Orlando Sentinel to write this. Not that anyone give a crap what the Sentinel thinks.....except the birds sitting above the Sentinel in their cages.

He makes the sentinel look rational.
Gone the next time he runs for resurrection.
Dude’s lost it.
