Dems really got a kick out of it when Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said Republicans wanted Americans to “die quickly” because they would not sign on to nationalized health care.
They thought it was funny when he compared the GOP healthcare plan to the Holocaust and 9-11.
Now, the voice of the democratic party is calling female government officials “whores” who he disagrees with.
Beltway Blips
The Politico reported:
Republicans and Democrats slammed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night.
“There’s no call for that language. No call for it. That’s absurd. If he was standing here now, I’d say that to him,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.)
“He’s out of control,” added Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is vice chairwoman of the House Republican Conference.
The remarks are the latest to surface in a string of controversial statements by Grayson, who said on the Alex Jones radio show that he believes Robertson, a former Enron lobbyist, is not qualified to pass judgment on intricate financial matters.
It’s clear that his colleagues’ opinion of him has suffered.
…Late last month, Grayson said Republicans’ health care plans were for Americans to “die quickly.”
Grayson, who is Jewish, later earned reproach from the Anti-Defamation League for referring to the health care system as a “holocaust in America.”
