What I meant was that both individuals are partisan, hard-core ideologues who have a tendency to make bombastic and over-the-top statements.

While I find I don't agree completely with Booman on his write-up, I understand his point that Grayson is from a competitive district in FL, and that it appears he's spending more time and effort throwing bombs at Republicans than taking care of his district's constituents. I'm hopeful, though, that this 'phase' is only because of the importance of the issue for which he's fighting, and that once it passes, he may concentrate more of his remaining term on caring for his district--it would be a shame if he were to lose in '10 because he ignored his people...

I was unaware that Ms. Bachman had graduated in three years from Harvard, summa cum laude, had a law degree (with honors) from Harvard Law, a Masters in public policy, and had worked with two future Supreme Court justices. If what you are saying is correct, then Ms. Bachman is too modest. She should tell more people about her accomplishments that match those of Mr. Grayson. The guy’s just a liberal, male version of Michelle Bachmann.

Anthony Weiner calling Grayson 'one fry short of a Happy Meal', he's a fairly intelligent guy. I was surprised how he went all deer in the headlights and totally let Griff Jenkins just Terkel the crap out of him. From a loudmouth to total clam in a matter of a day. Despite Rep.
