The Biggest Jerk in Congress (no surprise here)

Every school, club, or company has a loudmouth whose outrageous statements and failed attempts at humor cause his friends to shy away, feigning laughter and everyone to think “what a jackass.”

Congress always has more than its fair share of such people, and suffers them gladly. Well, most of them. But this congress contains a man who rises above the rest, distinguishing himself beyond all others as this session’s “Biggest Jerk In Congress.” He is Representative Alan Grayson, a first-term Democratic Congressman from Florida’s historically Republican 8th Congressional District, which includes Orlando.

Grayson is, like John Edwards, a wealthy trial attorney with a recent Roll Call report showing him to be the 12th richest member of Congress (and the 7th richest member of the House alone.)

Grayson had to lose the beard before coming to DC because of his uncanny resemblance to Satan.

It’s no wonder why Matthews, Madcow and Olderwomann like him so much! They enjoy it when they can find someone in the news looney enough to agree with them.

Looks a lot like Anton LaVey. Probably screws lead pipes and molests small collies, too. What a jerk.
