"Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) -- the man best known for saying that the Republican health care plan is for Americans who get to "die quickly," and for calling former Vice President Dick Cheney a vampire with blood dripping from his teeth -- may have gone a bit too far in one of his latest rhetorical excesses, calling lobbyist Linda Robertson, who used to advise Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, a "K Street whore." The comments were made a month ago, when Grayson appeared on the radio show of right-wing talker Alex Jones, and was just discovered and circulated by the NRCC. "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," said Grayson." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

This is an insult - to honest whores everywhere. Who wants to be compared to a lobbyist? - Steven Perez

Meh, he's forgiven *wink* - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

I always find myself chuckling over how thin-skinned the Republican party is, in the midst of all the slurs they toss about on a daily basis. They're like a sore pimple... spewing pus yet screaming bloody murder when anyone dares try to stop them (which one should only attempt when wearing protective latex gloves!) - Mark J Severely Inert

@Mark: double standards for teh win! - Rene, Pro Button Pusher
