1. Griff Jenk? What kind of a name is Griff Jenk?
Silly little twerp. Congressman Grayson handled him very nicely, I thought.

10. Well Weiner screwed up recently ....
Edited on Wed Oct-28-09 08:34 PM by Tx4obama

when Weiner called Grayson 'one fry short of a Happy Meal'
but then he did apologize.
-------------

From HuffingtonPost.com:

SNIP

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), in turn, apologized for calling Grayson "one fry short of a Happy Meal."

"Alan Grayson is a friend and an extraordinary member of Congress. No obviously playful comment from me should distract from the important role Rep. Grayson has played in focusing on the true and tragic costs of our broken health care system," he said in a statement. "He is a leader and a patriot."

SNIP

14. Billo's gonna have to find a new stooge
A lot of folks have wised up to Orally's game with the whole ambush thing. My guess is that Grayson did his homework and knew when he was being stalked by the Orally 'weasel'; Billo is gonna need to have a new stooge each week to do the stalking.

i guess you could say that Grayson won in the fact that he didnt give fox the interview? or he wont on not talking about any of his coments he has recently made.

37. What's an 'indeendent'?
Is it like Dentyne?

Oh' that old "both sides" excuse. Like when Bush says the sky is green and the newspapers give it a headline that says "Color of sky in dispute"

There's facts, and bullshit. Global climate change exists, people are born gay, Barack Obama is an American, Socialism is not Communism or Fascism, evolution is proven, Fox is not news. These cannot be in dispute.

57. Not buying it.
Sorry but you do not seem credible. I know "independents" and most would not have been terribly impressed with Fox News. Most independents I know don't really care for Faux news and wouldn't have been attracted to post on a thread this meaningless in the first place.

Nice try pretending though. Are republicans getting instructions to claim to be independents or 'life long democrats' when they make there statement 'questions?'

72. Ah, in other words-- you've heard both sides but as someone who cannot make
up their mind and desires attention, you decided to become an "independent" (aka libertarian).

You do know, however, that "independents"/libertarians are just folks with self-esteem issues who desire to bring attention to themselves by being professional contrarians?

Wipe the cheeto dust off your fingers and dump the Big Gulp with Mello Yello and read a paper once in a while.

73. Enjoy your stay here. However brief it is.
I give you credit for coming HERE to DU for what 'the liberal other side" is, rather than CNN.

I just hope you get an idea on how programmed you already are (yes, really) before you get the tombstone.

You WILL see what I mean.

My best suggestion is if you're here for information, read more than you post.

21. More proof that Fixed News not a real news agency.
Thank you Jerk Griff or whatever the little weasel's name is.

Instead of acting like a real news agency and asking Rep. Grayson about his work on the Federal Reserve, his work on the Health care issue, and his excellent questioning of Republicans who want to hide what the Federal Reserve is up to, you know, REAL NEWS, Fox stays in the tabloid, yellow journalism gutter and tries to make an issue of name-calling. Looks like Weiner was just teasing his friend.

Griff Henk, or Jenk Griff or whatever the little twerp's name is, made an absolute idiot of himself, well with a little help from the very Grown-up Rep. Grayson. :applause:

A question for Fox who want to be considered a fair and balanced news agency, and not the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. 'Did they send little Griff to ask the GOP leadership why they left several, sick racist photos and comments on their new official website for five days until DU pointed them out?

Of course they didn't, because they ARE the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.

I don't give a flying fuck. Grayson was RIGHT, that bitch is a WHORE and the other fucktard is a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Grayson handled this ASSHOLE just fine, though I wish he would have said what I just did.

FUCK THIS NAMBY PAMBY BULLSHIT!

42. O'Reilly slanders entire groups of people...
"Far-Left loons", etc., usually based on their political or other beliefs. Olbermann singles out individuals for specific acts or statements, usually backed up with video or researched quotes, for specific actions or statements, when he picks "Worst Persons".

Also, Olbermann has had Republicans, Democrats, and even himself, as "Worst Persons". I seriously doubt that O'Reilly has ever called himself a loon on the air.

39. Definition of whore...
From the American Heritage Dictionary:

" A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain. "

So, there is really nothing for Grayson to explain.
He was correct in calling a 'K Street lobbyist' that compromises their principles for money - a K Street whore.

I wish that he had first called a MALE K Street lobbyist a whore, then he could have gotten away more easily called that woman one.

40. If I were in Grayson's office
I would call Capitol Police (assuming this was in the US Capitol complex) and file a report saying Mr Jenk and crew have been stalking the Congressman with intent to harass. I'm certain this ambush violates some tenant of the press pass privilege given to journalists who actually have access to the Capitol buildings.

Did that mean ole reporter sneak up on you? I know it's tough. Answering questions. Especially ones you haven't been prepped for. Damn if I didn't hate those pop quizzes in high school, too.

But once in a while life throws you a pop quiz.

This guy needs to grow a pair.

63. Are you suggesting politicians
only answer questions they want to answer? Are you saying you wouldn't like to see a reporter sneak up on Bush and interrogate him about Iraq or 9/11. Ofcourse you do. And you should.

It's our right to know. From all of them. Why shouldn't the people whose salary we pay have to answer a tough question?

I applaud him for saying what he said the first time. (About the Republican plan) There is too much politeness on capitol hill. Everybody's so sensitive all of a sudden.

I'm just saying backing down is a sign of weakness. I don't want a congressman who's afraid to speak his mind fighting for the causes I believe in.

80. I reviewed the video
I'm just saying why does he need to make an appointment. Alan Grayson is essentially HIS employee. Politicians are our employees. Should we have to make an appointment with the people who's salary we are paying?

Seems backwards to me.

83. So, if he's on the house floor speaking and someone wants to talk to him. He should stop
what he's doing and give an interview? maybe he was busy? Maybe he was on his way to vote. Maybe he had an appointment with another constituent? I'm sure he has more than one, you know?

75. I think people should start stalking the O'Leilly producer.
So so he knows how that kind of thing feels, and this soon will come to a screeching stop.

77. Whoa! "Except for faux"...hahahaa!
I read where Grayson apologized about the "whore" comment. I didn't read the context so I can't speak to that. And, we know Weiner has apologized for bringing junk food into it.

82. This is the first time I've seen him less than composed. He looks very harrassed.
In some ways I'm surprised.. he seems to be the most self-confident lawmaker I've ever seen.

FAUX needs to grow up.
