Are You Sure This Guy Isn't DICK Grayson?

[filkertom]

As in Nightwing. As in Robin. As in a superhero.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) yesterday:

The Honorable Mr. Grayson tells them the truth, and it feels like hell to them.

Go Grayson!

Old bible quote, perhaps you've heard it (from the Liberal KJV): Ye shall know the truth & the truth shall set ye free, but first it's gonna really piss you off.

[maiac.livejournal.com]

I bet that's one of the passages the Conservapedia folks are dead set on re-translating.

*jaw drops*

Oh my...damn, do I need to move to Florida to make sure this guy gets reelected? 'Cause I'm half-tempted to do it!

He is absolutely right to point out how utterly opposed Republicans are to Obama...and he did it in such an incredibly awesome way.

*applauds*

I don't live in his district (by about 20 miles - I'm one county over). I really wish I could vote for him.

[bluesmancd.livejournal.com]

I don't live in his district either, but I'll make sure to send him a few bucks for his next campaign. There must be something in the water in Florida, they now have two Democratic US Reps with a spine, Wexler and Grayson.

NICE!!!

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Dear FSM,

PLEASE let this man run for Florida governor!!!!

Yours truly,
Ladysmith...

[capplor.livejournal.com]

Not yet! we need him where he is for a while. Please!

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Good point.

[misterseth.livejournal.com]

I think we found the next Dem presidential candidate for 2016!

[misterseth.livejournal.com]

The sad part is, at 3:59, it looks like he was addressing an empty chamber...

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

Thank you for posting this. It is made of WIN.

Now, if only we had more courageous Democrats and fewer do-nothing, hem-and-hawing, shrinking wuss Democrats.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

A Democrat with a backbone.

My goodness.

[msgeek.livejournal.com]

Boo. Yah.

We need to boot Ben Nelson's weenie ass out of the Senate. Grayson will be missed in the House, but since we've lost Teddy we need a liberal lion there. Yeah, I think you're right, he's Robin all grown up.


Bring it, Rethugs and Blue Cross Dog Dems.

[redaxe.livejournal.com]

Robin all grown up

You do mean Nightwing, right?

[jmthane.livejournal.com]

Go Grayson!

[fair-witness.livejournal.com]

He's certainly upholding the honor of the name.

[cathain.livejournal.com]

I want this man for our next President after Obama gets done.

[brigidsblest.livejournal.com]

Seconded.

All in favor, say "I VOTE"

Between this and Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, Keith Olbermann is going to kvell this evening.

[fredhuggins.livejournal.com]

This guy might have Keith's JOB in a year. I'm sure it pays better.

[ohari.livejournal.com]

I think ya'll are missing the bigger picture. The Republicans want to ban BACON. This should be our message, because no one* will ever vote for someone who voted against bacon!

(*OK, no one in the current republican base...)

[redaxe.livejournal.com]

Oh, there are some misled Jews still in the Repubs. They probably figure that they're not allowed to have it, so nobody ought to be.

[osewalrus.livejournal.com]

It's an Israel thing. And, in my shul, a color war thing.

[peachtales.livejournal.com]

Wow.
But I do really like the ending tagline. I wish someone would pick up on that like all the idiots picked up on "Joe The Idiot Plumber" during the campaign.

[kayshapero]

Applause! Cheers! Now THIS is what we need more of in Congress!

[seawasp]

"America cares about BACON!"

Well, okay, he didn't say THAT, but I was expecting it after the BLT line.

[danceswithlife]

Lawrence O'Donnell was on for Keith tonight, but had Grayson on the show. Here's the link:

OBAMA: "Sasha honey, could you pass the salt, please?"
REPUBLICANS: "OBAMA SUPPORTS CHILD LABOR!"
OBAMA: "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
REPUBLICANS: "OBAMA DUMPS WASTE INTO WATER!"
OBAMA: "Let's see, Kung-Fu Panda or Golden Girls Season 1? I guess I'll watch Kung-Fu Panda.
REPUBLICANS: "OBAMA CHOOSES _Jack BLACK OVER _Betty WHITE!"
OBAMA: "Um... Are you people retarded or something?"
REPUBLICANS: "OBAMA MOCKS THE MENTALLY DISABLED!"

I think they're jealous of how easy WE had it when we looked for flaws with the prez WE didn't elect. And yes, by "we" I mean America.

"You just derailed a train full of nuns and orphans."
"Yeah, well, you just STEPPED ON AN ANT! MURDERER!"
"That's a pepper granule."
"A poor defenseless pepper granule. Plus, you FAILED to stop us from derailing a train full of nuns and orphans! DOUBLE-MURDERER!"

*stands and applauds*

[connor-campbell.livejournal.com]

nice to know we have somebody decent in office! shows i need to be more aware of my own reps! nice to know we have some good to show for the hometown! i knew there was a reason i brag about Florida so much!

[osewalrus.livejournal.com]

But the tragedy is in the last frame, highlighting the empty chamber.

[ladyskada.livejournal.com]

Squee!

(Yes, that's all I can coherently say at this time of the morning.)
