I love Grayson, but he needs a little work on the tie



NEW YORK (CNN)– Controversial freshman Rep. Alan Grayson, who has become famous for attacking the Republicans' health care plan, went on the attack again Friday night, calling former Vice President Dick Cheney a vampire for his recent criticism of the Obama administration's handling of the war in Afghanistan.

"I have trouble listening to what says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he's talking," the Florida Democrat said on MSNBC's Hardball Friday night. "But my response is this: he's just angry because the president doesn't shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?"

In a hard-hitting, wide-ranging speech last Wednesday, Cheney targeted the administration's decision-making process on how to proceed in Afghanistan, saying Obama has failed to give troops on the ground a clear mission or defined goals and appeared "afraid to make a decision."

1. Grayson really shouldn't have said that

He was insulting vampires all over the world.

2. Is this the same Cheney who said there were no good targets in Afghanistan?

No wait, I think that was his pal Rummy.

3. Vampires are notoriously sexy. Cheney's more like the Blob

Sucking people, including children, into itself to feast on their gooey nutrients.

4. Watching Cheney's speech and

listening with a nurses ear, I hear him taking in a lot of air to speak. Sound like the old ticker isn't performing as well as it should. He's rotting from the inside out, and the sooner the better.

7. I hear the same thing.

He seems very winded for a guy just sitting on his ass answering questions, but in interviews, etc. he seems to catch his breath as he speaks. Plus he is the color of cement. I imagine a guy with the amount of heart damage he has at his age must be in pretty rough shape. What do you think CHF? He also has that cough ...

11. CHF would be my guess

would love to know what his resting O2 saturation is, bet it's in the low 90's, if he's even that good. I wonder if he uses supplemental oxygen when we can't see him. His color looks cyanotic even with all his pancake makeup.

14. I guess he pulled thru his most recent surgery

for back problems, got loaded up on pain meds, O2, and now he is out blathering bullshit again.
Maybe the grim reaper will swing by and pick him up on Halloween ;)

We can hope.

5. Shock! Outrage!

How dare he? Utterly inappropriate. Owes an apology.

I assume that was the media reaction.

8. The more I hear from Rep. Grayson ...

Someone on our side finally has the cojones to play the GOP's game and slam dunk on 'em on a regular basis.

:patriot:

9. His tie/shirt game are on point...didn't he wear pink boots to court once..

10. Good for Grayson.

[lonestarnot]

12. More like a fat tick with the plague.

13. Cheney is the worst of the Worst...he is EVIL...the Prick of the Century

His Spawn is no better
