Man Bites Dog: A Repugnant Democrat

Does anyone think this is going to make our faculty more ethical?

A friend criticized me for only reporting on repugnant politicians who are Republicans.   What am I to do?  The numbers of Republicans who campaign dirty or support racism, war, sexual bigotry is overwhelming.  Still, THE Ave is fair and balanced, some leftists do earn the title or “repugnant.”

Alan Grayson has earned the title “repugnant Democrat.”

Grayson, a member of Congress from Florida, has been a liberal and sometimes libertarian warrior. So outspoken is Grayson that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck remarked, “It’s okay if the Republicans lose every seat in the Senate and the House except for one. As long as that one is Alan Grayson losing.”   On the Democrat’s side, Harry Reid is outspoken: ‘I Will Be Blunt. I Want Alan Grayson To Lose.’

Grayson has many problems, ranging from the use of foul language to !!campaign tactics worthy of the right wing thugs that earned Nixon the title “Tricky Dicky.”  Now Grayson is being hounded, by the Democratic  side by revelations that he used his name in the title of hedge funds he manages.  Two of those funds are based in the Cayman Islands.  The practice of managing a hedge fund under his own name is  prohibited by congressional ethics rules.

Grayson is competing for Florida’s Democratic Senate nomination against Rep. Patrick Murphy, who is supported by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and much of the party establishment. The Senate seat is currently held by Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who has said he won’t run for re-election.

    How about repugnant pictures. Well, we can’t get rid of all the conversation or we’d be mute talking about picnics, lunch at Chelsea’s, or the average number of doors in a city block.

    If you folow the tag repugnant, most posts will show pictures.
