END OF A BULLY? – AT 8:04 A.M. ET:  Bigmouth Alan Grayson is perhaps the most despised freshman in the House of Representatives.  The Florida Democrat has become famous for his poor taste and lack of minimal adult self-control.  He recently created an uproar when he took snippets of a speech by his GOP opponent, Dan Webster, and ran them out of context, making Webster "say" the opposite of what he was actually saying, and sound like a religious extremist.  It was typical Grayson, as The Washington Examiner points out:

Grayson has been involved in so many dust-ups, scrapes and other indignities that it's surprising to realize he has only been in office 20 months. From describing the Republican health plan as hoping the sick will "die quickly" to calling a top official at the Federal Reserve a "K Street whore" to saying of former Vice President Dick Cheney that "blood ... drips from his teeth while he's talking" to "Taliban Dan" -- well, a lot of people in Florida and Washington won't be sad to see him go.

And he might just be going:

A poll taken by Sunshine State News at the time of the ad controversy showed Webster with a 7-point lead, 43 percent to 36 percent. Barring any unforeseen events, that's likely to hold. The 8th District was Republican for almost 30 years, until the Obama-Grayson victories of 2008. Now it appears to be moving back to the GOP.

There are occasionally sweet moments in politics, and seeing this obnoxious fool Grayson defeated would be one of them.  By the way, he has an absolutely stellar academic history, which shows once again that high grades and common sense don't always fit together.

You can get a taste of Grayson on YouTube here.  Take seasickness pills first.
