It is not entirely true that nobody likes a sore winner. We happen to like them. And we’re betting that you do, too. That is why, against the better judgement or mothers everywhere, we are going to treat you at least one more laugh at the expense of fired congressman Alan Grayson.
Don’t worry, the guy who made a (thankfully brief) political career out of hating the rich is worth about $31 million. He can afford it.
And so on to The New York Times:
He has zero faith in the incoming speaker of the House, John A. Boehner, whom he calls a “tool of special interest.”
He derides the Tea Party’s successes as “bought and paid for by the enormously rich and the selfish.”
And he can barely contain distaste for his Republican successor, whose views he sums up as “bizarre fundamentalist.”
Representative Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Florida’s Eighth Congressional District, is leaving office on Wednesday much as he entered it two years ago — as the pugnaciously partisan, verbal-bomb-tossing, liberal folk hero of the 111th Congress.
Given that liberal folk heroes are generally comprised of cop killers, mass murderers and eugenicists, it cannot be certain that this send off can be considered as a compliment.
Not to worry though. Our sendoff will be with much less ambiguity. And without even the hint of anything that could be considered complimentary.
Hey, Alan. Na na na na, hey hey hey, GOODBYE!
