Politics: Oh Alan Grayson: We’ll miss you, you big lug you. Kinda.
- It often seemed like Grayson putting on a piece of performance art, attacking Republicans with all the vitriol they normally use to attack Democrats, questioning their moral values and basic sense of humanity – and for this, people called him crazy.
- Talking Points Memo writer Eric Kleefeld • Summing up the political career of Alan Grayson, a one-term congressman who perhaps had the most interesting career of any one-term congressman in years. He brought the kind of rage from the left that many on the left were used to hearing from the right. And for that, he goes home. He lost by nearly 20 percent. Dude fell hard. And flat. We will miss Grayson for the simple fact that he made the House more interesting while he was there. We won’t miss him because he was pretty much the best example of amplifying everything and hearing nothing – on either side. Jon Stewart might as well have done his whole rally to criticize Grayson’s media-attracting ways. source
