I love Alan Grayson

[The Minx]

This post is overdue, but here goes.

Alan Grayson (in case you haven't heard of him) is the Democratic representative from the 8th district of Florida. He had something interesting to say about the (nonexistent) Republican health care plan.

Link.

Republican Health Care Plan in 3 Steps:
1. Don't Get Sick
2. If you do get sick....
3. Die quickly.

Naturally talking heads were up in arms because of these statements. They compared him to you-know-who who interrupted the President with "you lie!". They demanded that he apologize, insinuating that these comments were unprecedented, never mind all the Republicans who have accused the Democrats of planning to kill grandma, telling Americans to "drop dead" and installing death panels and what not.

Only then, he marched right into CNN's "Situation Room" and started knocking heads together.

And suddenly, the Republicans are on the defensive. The bullies cower in the corner, and it's like a spell has been broken. Now I want his internet babies. ^^ :luv:


PS: I'm aware that he's a politician, and therefore far from perfect. But it's just so refreshing to see a Democrat with a spine for a change.

I approve of this man. It is high time that the Democrats starting standing up on their hind legs and growing some spine and balls.

As for the Republican confusion. It is much like what Mike Tyson experienced in his last fight. Simply put, they're not used to the other side actually punching them back.
