Firebrand and rising progressive star Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida (a genuine throwback to an oldschool Democratic who actually cares about the little man) brought his A-game to Hardball last night. Chris Matthews asked Grayson about Dick Cheney's habit of taking constant shots at President Obama, and specifically his most recent criticism that Obama was giving "aid and comfort to the enemy," which essentially is constitutional language which identifies treason. Grayson replied by telling Cheney what exactly to do, by using an infamous internet acronym:
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.
From there, the conversation turned to Cheney's absolutely ludricious charge that Obama had displayed weakness by bowing to the Emperor of Japan, and as a result had exposed America to future terrorist attacks. Grayson responded with:
It's just too bad that it's too late to impeach him. That's all I can say.
But I suppose the following was okay with Cheney and didn't expose the country to potential terrorist attacks:
D'awwww, Bush and Abdullah make such a cute couple.
