ALAN GRAYSON: Here's How I Plan To Make The Benghazi Investigation A 'Nightmare' For Republicans
AP yahoo business insider ^ | 5/20/2014 | Brett LoGiurato

Rep. Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Florida, has a plan to become Republicans' "worst nightmare" if he is indeed appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the select committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. (clip)

Grayson said he would use the Benghazi hearings as an opportunity to draw attention to other issues important to "ordinary Americans" that have not received as much attention.

Following DeLauro's proposal, liberal groups hatched another idea: send Grayson. A petition on the CREDO group's website has already garnered more than 65,000 signatures.

Grayson said it's up to Pelosi to determine how she wants to approach the number of people she sends to participate. He said he's "ready, willing, and more than able" to be on the committee and, if he's chosen he would be Republicans' "worst and last nightmare."

Grayson also offered Business Insider a preview of what that "nightmare" would look like. During the proceedings, Grayson said he would attempt to draw attention to other issues for which he thought voters would also like select committees to be formed.

"I'll be asking why there's no select committee on income inequality. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on immigration reform. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on the minimum wage. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on anything that has anything to do with the lives of ordinary Americans," Grayson said.

Grayson predicted he would draw attention to the 60 people who died from embassy attacks under the Bush administration, as well as questioning why there wasn't a select committee established to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

"Well, listen. If you're going to have a kangaroo court, you've got to have your kangaroos. And what better kangaroos than the NRCC?"

When do the hearings begin? I had thought it was today, for some reason.

I think you are right. If, however, Grayson begins to comment on matters not germane to the purpose of the hearing, Gowdy should shut him down and move on to the next committee member.

Apparently Mrs Grayson’s son Alan...did not witness the strict decorum under which Mrs Cumming’s lil boy Elijah was handled !!

Mr Gowdy handled the situation with aplomb and did so without a smidgeon,....of guilt.

Let Te Record Read that Mr Gowdy does not take doo doo from anyone!!

I don’t think the GOPers have any say about which RATs are on the committee.

True, but I don't think there's any committee rules preventing the Republicans from uncontrollable laughter as the RATs spew their crap.

Pointing, knee-slapping guffaws.

Laugh the bastards right out of the room. Treat the feckless morons as the joke they really are.

Did I miss an election where th Dims won back the house. I blieve she is the former SOTH.

Committees are made up of members from both parties. In this case it would be 7 Republicans and 5 Democrats. Each party chooses who those members are. Pelosi as minority leader would choose the democrat(s).

Well I don't believe in evolution but nevertheless it is clear to me that Alan Grayson is the closest thing to a "missing link" that I have ever seen.

Think "troglodyte" when you look at Grayson.

This insane gadfly should be barred from any serious discussions or committees to investigate anything.

What a whiney little commie dolt.

As chairman, Trey Gowdy should toss him at the first sign of his going off topic and/or trying to derail the investigation.

Can you imagine if a Republican had said this in 1973-1974? There would have been media charges of collusion and cover-up. 3,483,283rd example of MSM in the tank for the libs.

A couple of burly, scowling sergeants at arms might keep the troglodyte quiet.

If not, they will certainly be able to drag him out of the room.
