Chris Matthews asks Grayson for his take on Dick Cheney's recent, increasingly strident tone towards President Obama. Grayson didn't hold back.
Grayson: I don't know. You know, on the Internet there's an acronym that's used to apply to situations like this. It's called "STFU." I don't think I can say that on the air, but I think you know what that means.
Matthews: Well, give me the first part.
Grayson: "Shut."
Matthews: Oh! I got you. Stop talking, in crude language. Well, I don't think you're gonna get him to do that.
UPDATE: NRCC spokesman Andy Seré released this comment: "The foul mouthed man-child from Orlando is at it again, taking to the airwaves to bring shame to struggling Central Florida families who want jobs, not nut-jobs. But speaking of bases, Alan Grayson's constituents surely find themselves wishing his parents had never gotten past first."
...referring to Grayson's cutting remark about Obama somehow kowtowing to foreign leaders.
Well what about Bush Junior? I remember Bush Junior kissing Prince Abdullah on the cheek, and then holding his hand for an extended period of time. Maybe if he'd let him get to second base, then gasoline would be a dollar a gallon.
He really is good at getting under their skins. Fully 1/4 of all NRCC videos uploaded to YouTube are now about things Alan Grayson has said.

And my favorite Grayson pic. With some insight into the mind of Alan Grayson.
The pink cowboy boots he wore in court are now black, but in Washington, Grayson is apt to wear orange-and-pink shirts and ties that can be charitably described as interesting. "I thought at first he was trying out for a road company of Guys and Dolls," said Rep. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who chairs the Financial Services Committee.
(Vanity Fair) On first meeting him, one might not suspect Alan Grayson of being a crusader against government-contractor fraud. Six feet four in his socks, he likes to dress flamboyantly, on the theory that items such as pink cowboy boots help retain a jury’s attention.
