I love Grayson because he does not hold back.....He was the GOP's number one target in the last election and here is a example of why they spent tens of millions of dollars to defeat him.

Subtlety isn't one Alan Grayson's better traits. The outgoing Florida Congressman is perhaps best known now as the man who unwisely branded his opponent "Taliban Dan" in a desperate bid to keep his seat. The firestorm surrounding the ill-conceived attack ad managed to prove that even an American electorate hardened to ludricious political advertising knew when a line had been crossed. It also prompted a discussion about whether he was, in fact, "America's Worst Politician."

Now, as he exits Congress, Grayson has lobbed one last salvo at nearly everyone in the GOP. In a slide-show exhibit decrying tax cuts for the rich, the representative tried to rally his colleagues by pointing to the obscene amounts of money that the richest Republicans will likely reap if the Bush tax cuts are extended. In between the slides, he also managed to add slight personal digs to each of the prominent conservatives.

Here's a running tally of how he described each Republican:

Glenn Beck - The man makes millions from an "ongoing, night by night imitation of Howard Beale from Network"

Sean Hannity - (aka "Man of the People") "Maybe he can go and afford some anger management classes"

Bill O'Reilly - "He's No Pinhead" about arguing for tax cuts that only benefit rich people like him.

Rush Limbaugh - (aka "the man with the cigar")

Sarah Palin - "She's done a better job of turning fame into cash than anyone in American history"

Newt Gingrich - "The man who did such a great job in running America back in the 90's that he want's a second chance this decade. Newt if you do to us what you did to us then, we're going to be in big trouble."

George W. Bush - (aka "the Big Cheese") "the man who got us into two endless wars, the man who brought us to the brink of national bankruptcy, the man who gave us four dollar a gallon gasoline."

    • Alan Grayson is telling it like it is, if the tax cuts created jobs how come we ain't got any now? Bunch of BS. Grayson should give Obama a shellacking in 2012, he's the only honest man.

    • I really hate to see Alan Grayson leave..He is one of the most courageous politicians representing the American people.....Everything that he said about the people who represent the Republican Party is true...They are motivated by greed/power and could care less about the majority of Americans..

    • It would be amazing if our elected politicians actually fought for our interests rather than the interests of the wealthy and multinational corporations that could give a damn about real Americans.

      The repubs can pretend they give a shit but until they realize they are the pawns of the wealthy and multinational corporations ..................................they have nothing of substance to offer the middle class.

    • Grayson is a prime example of why we need public financing of elections. Corporations should not be able to finance a campaign against a candidate, or soon only the very rich will be running the country. We are in deep shit now and if we don't get mega money out of politics it's going to get worse. If a candidate is not a corporate whore he or she will soon be gone.

      Oh...you mean like: Hi, I'm Not a Witch, I'm Like You" kinda thang, right. Nice to know Rush Limbaugh will get his tax break on his 56 million dollar income in 2011 along with the BP Oil executives that destroyed the Gulf. Nice work GOP. More corruption to come and thanks for voting the way you did America.

    • Grayson gets kicked to the curb and he leaves with a parting hissy fit. If the tax cuts' are not kept, I personally stand to have to pay in around $4,500.00 more a year in taxes that I don't have. Just think of all the Interest the IRS will collect on the millions of Americans who can't afford the tax increases brought to you by the Democrats and the Leftist Obama Agenda.

      i think little sparky has got it mixed up since i doubt he/she makes over 250. i dont think you know how to perform math. "Just think of all the Interest the IRS will collect on the millions of Americans who can't afford the tax increases brought to you by the Democrats and the Leftist Obama Agenda." umm just think of all the money being thrown out the window with your wonderful tax cuts for the rich. guess who has to make those billions of dollars up. ME AND YOU! GET IT STRAIGHT, YOURE AN IDIOT. YOUR BRAIN DOES NOT WORK.

      I don't feel so sorry for you - the middle class need tax breaks more than you do. Pity party not acceptable in these economic times. I also feel so sorry for Rush Limbaugh-won't he get a tax break on his 56 million dollars a year income? Ah. What a shame. Rough times -really I don't know how he will light his cigars without the thousand dollar bills he was using.

    • Way to call the GOP out !! Where the hell are the rest of Democrats?

      We need more Grayson's in the government .......It's too bad he lost although the cons spent over 40 million to defeat him.

      But i have a feeling he will not be shut up that easy.

      Just think of what Meg Whitman could have done with that 150 million she spent on trying to defeat Brown in California, what a waste of money. Add up the money the GOP spent to defeat the Dems, and visa versa....wasted on these fools!
