Because Alan Grayson said so

If we had a democracy, statements such as the following by former Congressman Alan Grayson would be routine, instead of the MSM-ignored exception to the drool.

Democratic candidate Grayson on:
Sarah Palin: “I was disappointed that Sarah Palin was not running. But I understood why. She realized that she could not fit the Oath of Office on her palm.”

Mitt Romney: “There's somebody who spends all day trying to figure out whether he should flip or flop.”

Herman Cain: “I hope he gets the nomination because clearly, if both parties nominate African-Americans, every racist in this country will have to commit suicide. . . . What is his business genius? That he paid people $8 an hour to deliver $15 pizzas.”

Rick Perry: “Rick Perry tried to pick a fist fight with Ron Paul on national TV. A 76-year-old man. He doesn't want to just cut Social Security. He wants to beat up everyone on Social Security.”

Newt Gingrich: “Somebody said to me recently, ‘I actually listened to Newt Gingrich, and he sounded really crazy to me.' I said, ‘Look, Newt Gingrich has been listening to Newt Gingrich for 68 years. If you listened to Newt Gingrich for 68 years, wouldn't you be crazy?'”

Ron Paul: “I'm going to disregard Ron Paul, because everyone else does.”

Michele Bachmann: “I'm not going to say anything about her, because we actually have an agreement between ourselves. The agreement is that if I don't tell the truth about her, she won't lie about me.”
