Oh my. Did this really happen? It did, didn’t it? Please tell me it did.
After a summer of being brutalized and battered, of remaining mute even as the most outrageous lies were being told, did a Democrat actually make a fist and hit back?
Yes!
Alan Grayson, a freshman congressman from Florida, inflamed and outraged House Republicants while addressing health care reform. In his presentation, Grayson had the chutzpah to lay bare the Republicant idea of health care, whose essence--in Grayson's words--is 1.) Don’t get sick and 2.) Die quickly.
When asked by Republicants to apologize, Grayson took the floor and apologized to everyone who has died because of insufficient health care. Then he apologized to their families. Then he told Republicants they need to give a damn about people--even after they're born.
Ha!
Republicants are indignant. Indignant because Democrats have been meek and obedient lap cats this long hot summer, and done everything in their power to give the impression of being, if not spineless, then neutered.
Grayson’s behavior must be a terrible shock to them.
Congressman Grayson, wherever you are, thank you. Here’s hoping your chutzpah is an airborne contagion which spreads rapidly throughout the House and Senate.

I had a look for Alan Grayson.
ReplyDeleteYup.
It did really, truly, finally happen.
Youtubed it and watched him apologising to the uninsured, dead Americans.
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant.
"even after they're born"
