U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, was evacuated last week from the Central African nation of Niger, where he was stranded during a coup, by a military contractor the outspoken congressman has railed against in the past.

Grayson was on a House Committee on Science and Technology tour last Thursday when a military coup closed the airport in Niger and then took over the government, violently entering buildings close to the U.S. Embassy compound where he was staying.

Should have left him there.

Absolutely! I wish the Blackwater helicopter pilot would have just left him there, waving forlornly in the distance as he roared away. Let the demoRATs stew & sputter about one of their own leftist-marxist-socialist demoRAT being left behind in a 3rd world coup. I think that the commie pig Grayson would have been praying for any delivery from a white, pro-American conservative. He should have been left there.

That is priceless.

[Joe Brower]

That was my first thought.

[RVN Airplane Driver]

How could anyone like an idot traitor like Grayson? Please explain.

[Mamzelle]

Is this a photo of Grayson’s butt?

[nonliberal]

Why didn’t they leave him there? Stupid move on Blackwater’s part.

These guys even pick up the trash when they leave.

Too rich. Should be a movie, or in a novel.
