Florida Rep. Alan Grayson called an aide to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a "K Street whore" during a radio interview that aired last month, Roll Call reported.
According to the audio posted on YouTube, Grayson, a Democrat, reportedly said on the Alex Jones radio show, "Here I am, the only member of Congress who actually worked as an economist. And she’s, this lobbyist, this K Street whore, is trying to teach me about economics."
Grayson was allegedly referring to Bernanke adviser Linda Robertson, who Grayson said had headed up Enron Corp.'s lobbying shop in Washington, D.C., the newspaper reported.
A Democratic aide of Grayson's later defended his statement, telling the newspaper, "The Congressman’s choice of the words referred to her career as a lobbyist and her history of promoting whomever and whatever pays."

“Florida Rep. Alan Grayson”
Will someone PLEASE beat this POS in his next election?
This guy’s infantile craving for attention makes him a certified loon. Are there any credible Republicans running against him? A sure pick up.
He’s my congressman and believe me, many central Floridians want to see him packing come 2010.
Orlando’s voters should be soooooo embarrassed.
Broken clock. But Grayson is a “K Street whore” too, and must remain one - or he will be handily defeated next time out.
“Florida Rep. Alan Grayson called an aide to Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke a “K Street whore”...”
I guess Rep Grayson fancies himself on an experienced judge in prostitution.
Well, I guess at least of the governmental type.
I guess it takes one to know one.
Tourette’s in action.
Too bad I live in a neighboring district. I’d knock myself out to get rid of this goofball.
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 have to admit. It was a pretty good slam.
Wow.
Somebody calls my aide, assistant, co-worker, whatever, a whore, you have to respond MANIACALLY.
A US Representative no less.
Put down your work for the day, Bernanke, and destroy this worm.
I hear you. This low-life needs to go. I hope he keeps talking since it can only help.
Chuck Schumer without the class! (snort)
Bernake is extreme scum, and as nutty as this goofball is, it WAS a good slam.
I see the Orlando Sentinel got around to covering this... in a one paragraph mention on page B-2. Why do I suspect that it might have gotten slightly more coverage if Grayson had an “R” after his name?
