Recently, I compared Alan Grayson to an ex-KGB agent who was now engaged in a second career as a Mafia pimp. I don’t know what I was thinking: the KGB tried not to hire babbling fools, and neither does the Mafia.
Incompetent babbling fools, at that.
The short version: Grayson just got caught by the papers indulging in some sloppy video editing to make it look liked Daniel Webster said the exact opposite of what he did say*.

Grayson is making me pine for the term-limits-for-thee-but-not-for-me Ric Keller, his predecessor in office.
