"Is This the Way Congressmen Should Act?"

Last night a producer from The O’Reilly Factor show on Fox attempted to speak with Congressman Allan Grayson (D-FL) at the Capital building. At issue were remarks recently directed at an advisor for Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke. He was quoted on a radio show as saying “'Here I am, the only member of Congress who actually worked as an economist. And she's, this lobbyist, this K Street whore, is trying to teach me about economics.'

This is not the first time his remarks have stepped over the line. During early negotiations over health care reform in late September The Congressman took to the rostrum to take a shot at Republican ideas by saying “Republicans want you to die quickly.”

It was obvious from body language that he did not want to be confronted about his actions. Even his fellow democrats have been quick to call him out. Such behavior by a Congressman must be condemned as outrageous. It begs the bigger question of whether his constituents in his district of Florida would condone such behavior."
