[UPDATE]: Welcome, Instapundit readers. Have you seen the latest from Grassley on the IG firings?
He has difficulty keeping his hands to himself.
Literally.
I’ve read the Constitution several times, but I’ve never seen the part that says that elected officials are allowed to physically assault people who’d like to ask questions. Like, say, about his questionable earmark habits:
Congressman Alan Grayson has had a close relationship with the civil rights group for which he tried to get hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. As WDBO first reported, the freshman Representative requested $350,000 for the Florida Civil Rights Association, despite its history of controversy, and being run by a man the state says is not trustworthy enough to be a bail bondsman.
(H/T: the NRCC)
Finding the constraints demanded by the dignity of the office too much to bear, Rep. Grayson? Because that’s easily fixed.

Not my rep (I live in the FL-05 district), thank goodness.
Heheh. Came here from Insty. Well worth the trip. Hope this trend of questions, answers, and videotapes continues to grow and spread.
His office phones are ringing off the hook this AM with many positive comments I am sure.
Excellent video, Moe!
Captures the nature of the opposition.

The first thing I though when seeing this video was that it looked like something reporters used to do. So in the future you might want to say something to the effect of I’m with the daily mentioner or some other entity. You might make a little more headway.
Hmm. I have a better idea: the next time that guy tries to ask Grayson something, Grayson keeps his hands to himself.
