In Florida’s 8th congressional district, the Orlando East Side Tea Party was excited to announce a "rare appearance for the Congressman [Daniel Webster] to appear on the East Side of Orlando!" That's right, Webster is such a loyal and dedicated Congressman that he rarely appears on the east side of Orlando and when he does it’s only to Tea Party supporters.
Why might Webster avoid east Orlando? According to the East Side Tea Party,
"It took a great deal of discussion with congressional scheduling, Valencia Community College and the Orange County Sheriff's office to bring the congressman to the East Side of Orlando again."

From the Politico daily email:
HUDDLE SCOOPLET: ALAN GRAYSON, AD MAN: Don't expect him to start taking three-martini lunches with the cast of Mad Men quite yet, but a tipster tells Huddle that Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) writes the scripts for his own television commercials. Aside from the novelty, why would that matter? Grayson's currently embroiled in a controversy over an ad in which he refers to his challenger as 'Taliban Dan' Webster. 'Wives, submit to your own husbands' and 'She should submit to me -- that's in the Bible,' Webster, a former state House speaker, says in clips featured in the ad, which contends Webster has voted to deny battered women medical attention and to ban abortion even for rape victims. It opens with the line 'Religious fanatics try to take away our freedom in Afghanistan, in Iran and right here in central Florida' and closes with 'Taliban Dan, hands off our bodies and our laws.' Conservatives object to the comparison between Webster's religious beliefs and those of Islamic extremists. Grayson spokesman Sam Drzymala acknowledged the congressman's role in the ad-making process but suggested he's not the sole arbiter. 'It's a group effort, but the congressman is involved in the process,' Drzymala told HUDDLE. But he declined to say whether 'Taliban Dan' was Grayson's language. 'The campaign's policy is that [the] process by which we make ads should remain internal.' Here's the ad http://politi.co/9AfBSR

We can all do with a little comic relief. Lovable lunkhead, Sarah Moosilini, wore a bit thin when she inundated us with her 140-word Twitternouncements. Susan Angle brought the funny for awhile, but she's a dark comic and more than a bit scary. Now, there's Christine O'Donnell, the Lucille Ball of political candidates.We can all do with a little comic relief. Lovable lunkhead, Sarah Moosilini, wore a... more
