Rep. Grayson fires back at George Will
By Christina Wilkie - 12/06/10 07:01 PM ET

Outgoing Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) had the dubious honor this year of being named “America’s Worst Politician” in a Newsweek column by conservative author and commentator George Will.

ITK recently asked Grayson what he thought of the column, causing the controversial progressive to ask aloud, “I wonder if [George Will] ever comes out of the small dark room he works out of?”

Grayson, who lost his reelection bid last month, then appeared to answer his own question, saying, “I guess he did, long enough to attack me.”

A “small dark room”? This required some fact-checking.

On the contrary, Will told ITK, “I work out of a building that’s one of the older townhouses in Georgetown, 1811 or 1812. It’s very light and pretty.”

Will didn’t particularly appreciate the swipe at his working quarters, either, noting that “Mr. Grayson doesn’t know anything about my office.

“But for Mr. Grayson to speak about something he doesn’t know anything about is not a departure [for him].”

“America’s Worst Politician”

Socialist (found to be to the RIGHT of the rookie Hussein) Bernie Sanders would be my guess.

That Weiner idiot comes in a close second.

Not to defend Grayson, but does anyone actually read Newsweek or George Will anymore? They are long dead.

I always read George Will. He is an extraordinary writer and intellect. Infallibility, however, is just beyond his grasp.

Grayson has multiple degrees from esteemed institutions of destructive thinking. I think he’s Harvard but what’s the difference. One commie is the same as the next.

He should be the poster child of defunding failed overpriced academia.

George Will is from the MSM dominance era. He’s an insider, elitist type that doesn’t state anything strongly enough to move the mass of people. Perfect for “conservative” color commentary (the color being gray of course). Meanwhile the liberals feed liberal red meat to the audience. And our country meanders towards the cliff while the Fed gives away trillions to the bankers while WE pay for it with currency devaluation, high gas prices, unemployment and the like.

Socialists do not attract, 'attractive, honest and most importantly, those who are 'morally reasoned' and capable. . .but even here; there are degrees. Alan is certainly 'one' of the worst and thank God he is taking a forced retirement. Weiner, as well, so richly obnoxious.

He took on Megan Kelly *Fox News) yesterday - and lost, IMHO. He was an arrogant and rude twit, of course. What was differnt was the person he tried his MO with. Megan has has her own intellectual teflon and smart weaponry. Not to mention the rest of her political virtues. . .

We hope that Grayson works for both lefty cable outlets and is on twice a day for each outlet.

“Does anyone actually read Newsweek or George Will anymore? They are long dead.”

I cancelled Newsweak and Slime during Reagan’s first term.

Will became a beltway pundit after Reagan, and like the other beltway pundits, he is worthless to us, the non elites.
