Grayson: " .... I can't think of a better Christmas gift from America to America than health care for everyone."

Grayson: " .... btw, I have trouble listening to what he (Cheney) says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he's talking .... he's just angry because the president doesn't shoot old men in the face - btw, when he was done speaking did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?

Chris Matthews: " .... Thank you very much U.S.Congressman Alan Grayson, I just dubbed him Captain Cojones, we'll see if that sticks."

1. Does Grayson read DU?

:think:

We learned he's a Kossack, but does he ever stray over to DU, too?

Sure sounds like it to me.

2. Grayson brings it all into focus and doesn't let the right off for any of their garbage. Loved the..

last line a very subtle zinger. Well he may have some Repbulican friends by all chances but works real well as real funny irony.

3. Grayson is a national treasure

he should teach a courage class for his democratic friends in the house and senate.

[RKP5637]

4. Yep, he sure should! Speaks up and doesn't let the R's run over him! n/t

5. He kills me!

:rofl:

[Walk away]

6. He is a riot!

I hope he's right.

7. HAHAHAHA! knr

[Cha]

8. Aha, the "Captain Cajones" thread!

Grayson is well beyond cajones!

"Turn into a bat a fly away?" Excellent question:rofl:

[The Wizard]

9. So at what point do Republicans

and their handmaidens at Pox News demand an apology for speaking ill of the zombie vampire Cheney?
Great punch line: ".....does he turn into a bat and fly away?"

10. I hate to disagree with all y'all, but the name-calling weakens his message.

Cheney is many things-- a war criminal, chiefly-- but likely not a vampire.

I'd rather see Grayson develop into a senior Senator with decades of experience under his belt, than a one-hit wonder.

11. Halloween is around the corner, lots of those references will be popping up... n/t

15. Love The Guy & His Gutsy Stance... But Some Comments Seem A Bit

"out there" to me! Even IF I feel the very same way, and I do... I'm not sure I would have made the "dripping blood" comment on National T.V.

But then, worse things have been said about Obama, but not in the same setting! I DO agree with everything he said though, and would LOVE to see MORE Dems take a lesson from him, or a heads up or SOMETHING!!!

[Stables2010]

12. some of his best friends are Republicans....lol

[ihavenobias]

13. K & R n/t

[suzanner]

14. not sure what to make of this

sometimes the circus is ridiculous enough with Bohner's projecting, further bat or blood hyperbole goes where? Grayson did well with the answer about Bohner and the slipping in of reminders about Cheney. I like Grayson.

16. chuzpah might be a better term than cajones

Grayson's variation on the famous Nazi era quote was perhaps a reference to how he was attacked for comparing the death toll due to the corrupt privatized health system to the Holocaust, which of course was also driven by an unholy marriage of business and government like that favored by the GOP. Grayson can't help but recognized it's the height of absurdity for Republicans to accuse anyone of anti-Semitism, when the Bush family actively abetted the Nazis and were eugenicists, yet they do, in the same breath as red-baiting, which of course was what the Nazis were all about, beyond all else.

I guess we should be grateful the neo-cons managed to manipulate the GOP into staunchly supporting Israel which at least stands as a bulwark against worse things, as the world inevitably goes into paroxysms as the oil supply dwindles ever increasingly. The party that can't handle the truth but which makes a kitsch art of Reaganesque denial.

Play them off, Alan Grayson!

17. When was the last time you heard a democrat get righteous on republicans?

18. Everytime Grayson speaks :) n/t
