| 8. I don't think you can defame a congressman. |
|
Maybe we should remove Mark Twain books from the library for lines like "We have the best congress that money can buy."
I think that Grayson is quite entertaining, but when you get members of Congress demanding that the Attorney General imprison someone for creating a website that is "crude and tasteless" then you have got a big problem with a politician who has some pretty dictatorial leanings. Just think what would happen if Perez Hilton turned his unsavory gaze to Capitol Hill!

Actually it isn't. It's not the criticism, it's the deception. |
