For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Even Democrats are fed up with Alan Grayson.

Republicans and Democrats slammed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a "K Street whore" in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night.

"There's no call for that language. No call for it. That's absurd. If he was standing here now, I'd say that to him," said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.)...

“Is this news to you that this guy’s one fry short of a Happy Meal?” asked Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.).

Conservatives may be inclined to say that he's short a burger and beverage as well.
