Grayson's congressional colleagues are now dumping on your attention whore. Let's hear from the notorious reich winger Anthony Weiner:
"Is this news to you that this guy's one fry short of a Happy Meal?"

"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."
"Congressman Grayson was an economist and believes she is not qualified to attack complex financial reform policies," the aide reportedly said.

Yeah, but shout "you lie" at the president, and the dems panties collectively get in a wet wad.

The same effect that 'public option' has on Repubs, eh? ::)
Violation of protocol for Wilson.
Completely inappropriate.
Nobody shouted "you lie" at any of Bush's addresses to congress...
Keep equivocating with your blind partisanship....

Freakin WHATEVER moocher!!! The double standards you and others in this forum have is so overwhelmingly over the top that it borders cartoonish. Oh, and in reviewing your post, I gather your panties were way, way wet and wadded up over Wilson. Tell me, were they that wadded up over the Bush shoe thrower? Or, were they that wadded up when congressional dems booed Bush in 2005?

Spare me your BS violation of protocol stuff and give up the Obama spooning.

Really, I just saw a poll (curiously not conducted for the DailyKos) showing republicans leading in generic congressional ballots by 5:

Here's Gallup claiming that conservatives are now the dominant ideological group:

None of this BS means anything though because generally polls suck.

Funny how the focus is always on the individual bad apples, many of whom are poor/lazy/irresponsible, when the cost of welfare for the bad apples is far less than the cost of bailing out deregulated institutions....
From Krugman....
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/dc-comment/reagan-triggered-savings-and-loan-crisis-453
Attacks on Reaganomics usually focus on rising inequality and fiscal irresponsibility. Indeed, Reagan ushered in an era in which a small minority grew vastly rich, while working families saw only meagre gains. He also broke with longstanding rules of fiscal prudence.
On the latter point:
traditionally, the US government ran significant budget deficits only in times of war or economic emergency. Federal debt as a percentage of GDP fell steadily from the end of World War II until 1980. But indebtedness began rising under Reagan; it fell again in the Clinton years, but resumed its rise under the Bush administration, leaving us ill prepared for the emergency now upon us.
The increase in public debt was, however, dwarfed by the rise in private debt, made possible by financial deregulation. The change in America's financial rules was Reagan's biggest legacy. And it's the gift that keeps on taking.
The immediate effect of Garn-St. Germain, as I said, was to turn the thrifts from a problem into a catastrophe. The S&L crisis has been written out of the Reagan hagiography, but the fact is that deregulation in effect gave the industry — whose deposits were federally insured — a licence to gamble with taxpayers' money, at best, or simply to loot it, at worst. By the time the government closed the books on the affair, taxpayers had lost $130 billion, back when that was a lot of money.----Once again, who are the REAL MOOCHERS?

How bad would Grayson have been crucified for the "k street whore" comment if he were a Republican?
Would you be proud of him, FOTD?

Did you even read all of it Tony? Or did you just skim it?
'K Street Whore' is a term used for lobbyists. It just so happened this lobbyist was a woman.
You Conserva-Nuts hate anyone with spine unless they are on talk radio.
If this had been a man it would be a non-issue.

Come on now Hoss, you and I both know if Grayson were a GOP, Nancy Pelosi would be convening all sorts of circle jerk committees and investigations to censure him or demand that GOP leadership pressure him to resign.

I don't disagree with that; my point was that if the subject was a man, with either letter next to his name, this would be a non issue.
I don't doubt this would have happened one party or the other.

I still think he would have been taken to task for using the word "whore". Libs seem to take particular pleasure in being able to call conservatives: "misogynist", "racist", "closeted", etc.

CoCo, Your eyes are real brown....
Libs speaking the truth are able to give specific reasons as to why these labels are justified.

So what's the difference Conan? Conservatives take that same pleasure in bantying about the terms 'Socialist', 'fascist', 'communist'.

Why he is being an a$$-hole, because he stating exactly what's going on in a humorous way. Grayson is showing "sack" (which is a little creepy) and showing spine to folks holding opinions similar to yours. Tell us, is Grayson an a$$-hole?
Back on target....

All men are a$$holes...... geez.... ask your wife.... she'll tell you. ;D
The term "politically correct" certainly didn't originate with the conservative right in the 90s.... it dates back to the left at least as far back as the 50s and 60s...
Instead of censure, etc..... hey.... just say "Grayson's being an a$$hole" when he goes over the top with some of his politically incorrect rhetoric.
God knows, I'd love to hear Barbara Boxer tell Inhofe to stop being an a$$hole.... unlikely to happen, but I can dream, can't I?
Until then, here's about as close as we're ever gonna get...
