Rep Grayson: “She’s a K Street whore”

October 27, 2009

Another pig gets caught on talk radio – only he said it a month ago. Imagine what they say when they’re sure no one’s listening.

It’s the same Democrat, Rep Alan Grayson (R-FL), who on the House floor, dramatically revealed the Republican’s healthcare plan, which he basically equated to death panels.

REP GRAYSON:

The Republican’s healthcare plan is a blank piece of paper…

It’s my duty and pride tonight to be able to announce exacly what the Republicans plan to do for healthcare in America. Very simply, it’s a very simple plan. Republicans healthcare for America. Don’t get sick.

…And they have a backup plan: If you do get sick, die quickly.

This time he chose to call a woman (Enron lobbyist Linda Robinson) — whose name he didn’t even know — a “K-street whore”. He was on the “Alex Jones Show”. Here’s the audio. Listen to the intonation on “whore”, which he said he “did not intend”.

GRAYSON: This lobbyist, this K Street whore is trying to teach me about economics…and all of US.

JONES: [Laughs] Who was that particular K Street whore?

GRAYSON: I don’t remember her name.

Earlier today, Grayson’s spokesman, Todd Jurkowski, sent a statement to CNN defending his boss:

Why is this coming up now? This interview happened weeks ago. This is just another way for the NRCC to attack their number 1 target.

She actually questioned his understanding of the difference between fiscal and monetary policy. She had the audacity to attack a congressman who used to be an economist. She’s a career lobbyist who used to work for Enron and advocates for whatever she gets paid to promote.

Maybe he should have stayed one. The audacity of the dumb whore whose name he didn’t know! Maybe because he can only remember names that begin with “S” related to nature.

Predictably, several hours later came another statement from Grayson:

I offer my sincere apology. I did not intend to use a term that is often, and correctly, seen as disrespectful of women.

This characterization of Ms. Robertson, made during a radio interview last month in the context of the debate over whether the Federal Reserve should be independently audited, was inappropriate, and I apologize.

At least he learned her last name.

Does he look like he would ever be sorry about anything he said about a woman?
