In case you missed it: the Alan Grayson comedy hour, ‘Wild Alaskan dingbat’ edition
Alan Grayson: funny always wins
Alan Grayson is a lot of things, including brash, in-your-face, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. RawStory presents his comedy stylings at Sarah Palin’s expense, which could have been a late night monologue. It all started when Palin knocked him during an Orlando appearance (I wonder how much she got paid…) saying she “got to meet quite a few candidates who are lining up in a contested primary who want to take out Alan Grayson” and adding: “what can you say about Alan Grayson? Piper is with me tonight, so I won’t say anything about Alan Grayson that can’t be said around children.” Badum-bum! Any of you folks from out of town? Grayson’s reply was much funnier:
Grayson’s email reply was straight to the point. He began by referring to Palin as “the former half-term Governor, current-nothing and future-even-less,” and snapped, “Atypically, Palin was wearing clothes that she had paid for herself.”
The email continues: “In response to Palin’s attack on Rep Grayson, Grayson actually complimented Palin. Grayson praised Palin for having a hand large enough to fit Grayson’s entire name on it. He thanked Palin for alleviating the growing shortage of platitudes in Central Florida. Grayson added that Palin deserved credit for getting through the entire hour-long program without quitting. Grayson also said that Palin really had mastered Palin’s imitation of Tina Fey imitating Palin. Grayson observed that Palin is the most-intelligent leader that the Republican Party has produced since George W. Bush.”
And he added:
Grayson said that the Alaskan chillbilly was welcome to return to Central Florida anytime, as long as she brings lots of money with her, and spends it. “I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them,” Grayson added, alluding to Politifact’s “liar, liar, pants on fire” evaluation of much of what Palin has said .
Scientists are studying Sarah Palin’s travel between Alaska and Florida carefully. They hope to learn more about the flight patterns of that elusive migratory species, the wild Alaskan dingbat.
Thank you folks! He’ll be here all week! Love that guy …
Grayson’s Palin attack is also posted on his website, where you can read it all for yourself.
In more substantive news, Grayson isn’t giving up on the public option, and introduced his own Medicare buy-in bill last week. He has become an important voice on healthcare, alongside fellow Floridian Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and is polling ahead of all of those Republicans Sarah Palin was so happy to see … in their primary.
Good for you, Grayson.
