2. He's funny
Quick thinker too.

Grayson: "I don't think the republicans think it through that way. I think that they are so into their issues. That they only think in terms of that. Their idea of health care reform would be to allow you to take your gun to the doctor's office."

(Loud audience applause and laughter.)

Maher: "You came with some material tonight."

:rofl:

3. Bill Maher needs to check his sources a little more carefully
That "one third of all tests and surgeries are unnecessary" line came from Gary Null, well known crackpot. Quackwatch has a great article on him at http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/null.html

It wasn't a study, Bill, it was the lunatic ravings of a total screwball.

5. I hope Grayson has good security. He's great, but pissing everyone off.
I truly wonder what Barack Obama thinks about a guy like Grayson. To me, an Illinois supporter of Obama from way back, he sounds like Obama did before the bullshit.

I pray for Grayson's safety and hope that he never changes.

I'd hope that Obama would reach out to Grayson and have one-on-one meetings, but I doubt that the Chicago political mafia will let him. Too hazardous for Obama and his re-election. After all, what could be more important than re-election. Certainly not bettering the country.

The thrill of victory is, unfortunately, turning into the agony of deceit.

6. When Al Grayson runs for President
I will not only vote for him, but I will practice my target shooting on those who won't.

In reference to the above, I won't actually do that, so please don't respond with some serious crap. I am just joking. Sorry west coast liberals. We on the east coast have a sense of humor.
