WASHINGTON — Not everyone thinks imitation is the best form of flattery.
In fact, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando took such offense at a parody website aimed at unseating him that the freshman Democrat has asked that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder investigate the Lake County activist who started the anti-Grayson website “mycongressmanisnuts.com.”
Specifically, Grayson accuses Republican activist Angie Langley of lying to federal elections. His four-page complaint highlights the fact that the Clermont resident lives outside his district, but that Langley still uses the term “my” in “mycongressmanisnuts.com.”
“Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine, in order to try to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don’t support me,” writes Grayson. “[She] has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly tasteless and juvenile.”
Grayson’s office did not respond with comment other than to confirm the letter exists — including its request that Langley be fined and “imprisoned for five years.”

Grayson is a legend in his own mind.
“BEHOLD! Thou hast offended the Almighty Grayson!!! No one shall do that and live! I am more important than ALL of you! I am your GOD!!! BOW to me! BOW! BOW!!!”
The appropriate response to this involves ridicule, followed by tar-and-feathering.
He is.
The re-education camps are coming soon.
It will be.
This is MySpace, get the hell out of it!
“[She] has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly tasteless and juvenile.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tasteless and juvenile? This is a crime?
Tasteless and juvenile includes nearly all Marxist Useful Idiots. Does he want to imprison more than half the Senate and House of Representatives and all their minions?
Note to Rep. Grayson: When attempting to defend yourself against charges that you are nuts, filing a complaint so ridiculous, that only a raving, lunatic, NUT would file it, might not be the best approach.
“Prying these bastards out of power may be harder than we think.”
Depends on how good your aim is...
He’s upset because he won’t be able to collect his pension from the taxpayers due to lack of years of service. Every new congressional member should not be re-elected until term limits are enacted.
Maybe so but it is not going to do her a lot of good if Holder sends his goons after her.
“TASTELESS”??!!?? He wrote the book!!!
Grayson is a evil, despicable thug tyrant.
>> Grayson was born in the Bronx, New York and grew up in the tenements. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science and worked his way through Harvard University graduating summa cum laude in three years. He was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
Can you say “carpetbagger”? Can you say “just because you’re clever doesn’t make you smarter than the rest of us”?
Holder sending his goons over a parady site? Come on, I know a few good lawyers who would eat this up for free.
Hes making it easy in his case anyway.
All I can say is wait and see. I would not put anything past this regime. But, time will tell.
Okay, is everybody who...registers, comments, supports, whatever...on that website from outside the district?
This guy is a tool. I’m so happy he’s one of theirs.
