Democratic congressman Alan Grayson reportedly unleashed a profanity-laced tirade against a reporter who questioned his offshore investments during a recent interview, angrily asking the journalist if hes some kind of s**tting robot who goes around s**tting on people.
The fiery moment reportedly came after Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith inquired about some accounts in the Cayman Islands which he said Grayson incorporated
so investors could avoid taxes; the politician railed against this accusation.

Alan Grayson erupts as Senate bid looms "....Grayson, who wouldnt comment on his tirades, didnt dispute participating in a difficult phone call a few weeks previously with DSCC Chairman Jon Tester, who informed the representative that the committee would likely soon endorse Rep. Patrick Murphy. Grayson denied he directly swore at Tester as two sources alleged but he wouldnt comment on what he said.
Whats the deal here? You publish whatever colorful lies people toss your way, for their own obvious political purposes? Grayson asked via text message....."

I would’ve waited until he was done ranting and then said “boy i must’ve hit close to the mark for you to lose it like that.”

Sounds like Grayson got caught with his pants down by the reporter and exposed for the cheat he is. Of course, Grayson would probably one of those types who would want to nail a coporation to the wall if they evaded taxes using legal deductions because they aren’t paying their “fair share”...

They’re coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They’re coming to take me away, ho ho, he he, ha ha,
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young
Men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

The fiery moment reportedly came after Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith inquiredIn a battle between Adam Smith and Comrade Grayson, Grayson will always lose.
Liberals are really bad at economics.

I’d like to see this reporter ask EVERY member of congress about their off shore investments and their insider trading.

I love the statement It was a vehicle for foreign investors to invest in his funds while limiting their tax liabilities, he said, but no money had been invested in them yet. With the article saying
Grayson's financial disclosure statements indicate he has between $5-million and $25-million invested in the Grayson fund "When I set up my investment funds I set it up like everyone else," Grayson said
.. gee guess I forgot to set up my fund in the Caymans!
Another : It was a vehicle for foreign investors to invest in his funds while limiting their tax liabilities, he said, but no money had been invested in them yet. Back to the article saying Grayson's financial disclosure statements indicate he has between $5-million and $25-million invested in the Grayson fund And the vehicle for foreign investors to invest question with the answer of "Are you f------- kidding? I set up a fund that might solicit foreign investors....I have no present intention of soliciting foreign investors," he said. So who invested the $5-million and $25-million?

I smell a promotional deal in the making. Perhaps a seasonal beer called “sh*tting robot”?. maybe a cross-promotional campaign with android devices and charmin? The possibilities are endless!
