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.”

What a fool. Only supports the notion he is not fit for office.
"Alan Grayson's recent self indulgent behavior has paralyzed his ability to serve as an advocate for the citizens of Central Florida. On December 16th 2009, the day on which the Sons of Liberty dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor, Central Floridians will again say no to the overreaching government intrusion propagated by Grayson. Central Floridians will drop a money bomb to show Grayson and Pelosi that an oppressive, overreaching government has not and never will be what makes America great."
As a non constituent I must BE so bold to declare that Rep. Alan Grayson is not flying with both flaps down .... (sorry)
Yeah, but a quick check of YouTube will show that he’s Chris Matthews favorite pet congresscritter.
I gather his election was a bit of a fluke. He’s basically living it up as Capitol Hill’s clown prince as he’s virtually guaranteed of being bounced out next year.
Says a lot about the people who voted for him!
Parody of public officials is very free in this country.
fre speech and expression are too.
He is insane. period.
A retarded ten year old, fascist, fool.
When someone runs for a national office, their votes effect the entire nation. BFD that she doesn’t live in his district, he still affects her life. Cry baby democrat.
He was my congressman, but I moved to the next district over. No one likes him. He is nuts. Most people just didn’t vote for Ric Keller who reneged on his self-imposed term limit. They also believed the Wing-nut’s lies during his campaign commercials.
Glad to be out of his district.
The Dem party is home to nut jobs like Grayson, Franken, Pelosi and others yet the media is obsessed with smearing Sarah Palin.
Of course, the MSM is filled with Palin haters who fall into one or more of the categories below:
1) Homosexual men.
2) Ugly, liberal women.
3) Emasculated men.
Yup, what Grayson did was hold his “town hall” at a union hall...right after a union meeting and the majority of union members stayed put for the town hall meeting. It was a joke.
However, it is obvious that he and his BFF Grayson should both have their heads examined.
Mad because someone is masquerading as a constituent, while someone in the WHouse is masquerading as a President.
Did Chrissy get warm fuzzies from the clown price?
The US Constitution specifically states a Congressman must live in the “State” he represents. It doesn’t say a word about district residency. Therefore it would be Constitutional for Grayson himself not to live in the district he represents. Since that is so, then why should a normal person be held to a higher standard?
