Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed 549
vvaduva writes "Florida Rep. Alan Grayson wants to see one of his critics go directly to jail, all over her use of the word 'my' on her blog. In a four-page letter sent to [US Attorney General Eric] Holder, Grayson accuses blogger Angie Langley of lying to federal elections officials and requests that she be fined and imprisoned for five years. Her lie, according to Grayson, is that she claims to be one of his constituents. Langley, Grayson says, is misrepresenting herself by using the term 'my' in the Web site's name."

According to the article, the blogger criticized the congressman for his "childish approach" towards governing.
Well, he sure showed her!

A clearly inaccurate analogy. Everyone knows there are no black Republicans.

If I called Rep. Grayson "My least favourite douchebag", would that get me in trouble? Or perhaps "My personal definition of an asshat"?
I wonder what got into the people of Florida to elect such a pathetic waste of oxygen. Clearly this guy isn't qualified to run a fast food joint, much less make decisions affecting the lives of thousands of people. Maybe everybody will get lucky and he'll drown from looking up too long during a rainstorm.

Someone forgot to mention Grayson's party affiliation. "Democrat" for those still wondering. "Republican" would have been part of the headline had it been so.
