Congressman Alan "you are a whore" Grayson is a nut job who's lack of class should keep him from leaving the "padded room," but unfortunately he is a member of congress.
In the spring Neil Cavuto had Grayson as a guest on his Fox show and pulverized him. It was arguably the most entertaining interview of the the year. It was a classic on the level of O' Reilly/Frank.
Grayson is on Barney Frank's banking committee. He sponsored the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009." It would impose government controls on the pay of all employees (not just top executives) of companies that have received funds from the U.S. government.
During the interview the Congressman couldn't answer simple questions about his bill, so Neil let him have it. The exchange is the reason for Grayson's hatred of Fox.
Take a look at the two videos below, the first is Grayson on the Ed show talking about Fox News, the second video Grayson's sad appearance on Cavuto.

Grayson might be a bit of a choad at times, but he is also attacking the Federal Reserve. He might not be a Republican, but I say give the rabid dog slack on that leash.
I’d never seen the Cavuto interview.
Grayson is snivelling toadie and Cavuto exposed his hypocracy.
Your paycheck is next, folks.
You’re dreaming if you think it won’t affect you at some point.
This is insanity.
We should be in the streets.
But I would wager that even most of you FReepers reading this are OK with “sticking it to” Wall Street “Fat Cats”.
Let’s see how you react when they get to your ‘outrageous’ pay.
Grayson is an idiot on all levels. If he supports something that you do, perhaps you need to rethink....
I have a buddy that has several 100 million in the bank. I never think about him in terms of his money. And I find it odd how people get so weird around him. Go figure.
It's America, I hope everyone gets rich...
You and me both, brother.
I do agree with him that the Fed needs to be audited. I don’t agree with him on executive compensation. I can attack or support laws that he supports, and hope people attack the policies of our politicians instead of accepting all or none of their work depending on personalities.
I thought they both missed the point. Grayson was talking about these corporations robbing the tax payers. It’s Congress that’s robbing tax payers. Both Grayson and Cavuto are only quibbling over shutting the doors after that horse has already left the barn. Cavuto was supporting government regulation of pay. His main beef seemed to be how Congress was going about it.
We don’t need Congress curbing corporate pay. All we needed was for Congress to leave the tax payers out of it altogether. The market and the bankruptcy court could have done a much better job. You don’t get paid obscene bonuses and salaries when a corrupt company is chopped up, sold off, or otherwise dissolved in bankruptcy court. You get laid off. You get zero!
Read your own tagline. You’re ok with this arrogant pos writing a bill that takes away an individual’s freedom?
We already have laws that deal with this problem. They were not, and are not, being enforced. This is just one more Socialist power grab.
