Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Caveman Lookalike) Uses $73K in Taxpayer Money to Send Out DVDs of His Insane Ramblings…
Now that I think of it, maybe this is a good thing. When his constituents who may have missed his unhinged rants see them they’d certainly be less likely to vote for him…
We have disabled pinging on this post. | Weasel Zippers(Orlando Sentinel)- If U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson were a rock star, his latest PR blitz — a DVD sent to tens of thousands of Central Florida residents — would be called Grayson’s Greatest Hits.
The 90-minute disc features video highlights from his first term in office, including one of him grilling Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and another in which the Orlando Democrat preaches on the need to teach schoolchildren about the U.S. Constitution.
The DVD comes wrapped inside a mailer covered with promotional slogans: “Congressman Alan Grayson, Hard at Work for You,” “He works hard. He pays attention. He gets things done,” and “Video DVD Inside: Watch Congressman Grayson in Action!”
In many ways, it’s the perfect campaign video — with one key difference.
Thanks to perks given to all members of Congress, it’s not Grayson’s campaign but taxpayers who footed the nearly $73,000 bill to produce and mail the DVD to 100,000 homes in Grayson’s district of Lake, Marion, Orange and Osceola counties.
It’s a stunt that drew howls from Republicans, who complained that Grayson was abusing the congressional privilege of franking that allows lawmakers to send taxpayer-paid newsletters and other mail to residents.
“This is an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars, and it goes to show that Alan Grayson is completely out of touch with Central Florida,” said state Rep. Kurt Kelly of Ocala, one of seven Republicans looking to unseat Grayson this fall.
“This is just ridiculous behavior. What congressman would do this in the face of a huge budget deficit?” he asked.

Any Liberal would, because they don’t care about anything except two things:
Above all, Liberalism!
Above that, Obama!
Let him,he just looks like a complete goon going it and wasting tax payers money to boot.
Did he send a copy to the Queen of England? Can’t leave her out!
Proof Insanity Prevails with the Leftist-Loons!
Well, one bright light in this is this Kurt Kelly guy… at least he’s out there fighting. Better send him some money because Grayson’s got $5m waiting for attack ads.
I’m in favor of that proposal.
Then only homosexuals will watch TV.
As it is, all there is, except for Fox News,is rubbish.
And that news we can glean from the internet
(for the meanwhile, anyways).
Grayson, like most democrats, is the proverbial turd in the swimming pool.
