Alan Grayson: "You know, honestly I think he's just trying to prime his book tour, his upcoming book tour," "He got $2 million to write about his memories, and he's trying to stay in the public eye in order to push sales for his book. That's what I think." "I'm wondering, though, who's doing the introduction to his book? Is it Mephistopheles? I don't know -- maybe it's Satan."

Ed Schultz: Congressman are you ready to be attacked by the Republicans in 2010?
Alan Grayson: "I am attacked by them all the time, but as Franklin Roosevelt said, 'I welcome their hatred'."


P.S. And if anyone needs to look up 'Mephistopheles' (like I did) here's a link with some info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephistopheles

1. i LOVE this guy!
Jeezus...has there ever been a democrat with more backbone than Grayson??

Cheney is one big joke. The path of destruction he has left should give him zero credibility in any arena.

Grayson is almost as good as Clinton.

7. Grayson is not as compromised as Clinton, that puts him in a whole other league
Grayson has 100x more spine than a natural born triangulator like Clinton ever dreamed of owning (or feared whatever the final judgement on Clinton may end up being).

He and few others are about the last remnants of credibility left in the Dem party. Thank goodness we still have people like Grayson left who still can speak out...

16. If Spine=$$$$$, Then You Are Correct
Bill had a need to build a financial cushion for retirement, or ego, or whatever.

13. Lieberman's committee?
How cool would that be! I would love the YouTube video of Lieberman getting kicked out the door on the ass by Grayson.

5. Well through his connections in hell....
......Cheney has access to many like-minded folks who would love to write about how he worked for the good of Americans, he can always ask Hitler, Stalin, Nero, H.H Holmes, Vlad the Impaler, and Ivan the Terrible. As far as I'm concerned, sending thousands to their death in a war that had no connection to the terror that killed thousands in NYC is just as bad as a few of these guys.

8. The neat thing is most freepers don't know their beloved Cheney is being insulted by Grayson.
Most of them can't pronounce Mephistopheles, let alone know who he is.

12. True, and having Satan doing the intro is simply appealing to the base.

11. "Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what your up to just the same
I have only come here seeking knowledge
things they would not teach me of in college"

Sorry, couldn't help myself, those were the lyrics to the song "Wrapped Around your Finger" by the Police...

18. Seriously, you needed to look up Mephistopheles...?
Too bad you didn't grow up in Grand Rapids, MI (here, if you need to look us up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_rapids,_mi) like me, I'm hip to all the jive for that Evil Serpent, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, Prince of Darkness, whatever. I can travel a mile in any direction and pass 5 churches, Christian Reformed no less.

Not only that Sara Palin stopped here on her book tour, I think it was her first stop. I can only hope Dick is coming here to kick off his as well.

This post is really just about feeling sorry for myself and my geographical location.

Lol... I would love to have a Rep. like Grayson.
