Nuts you say? Rep. Alan Grayson is accusing blogger Angie Langley (http://www.mycongressmanisnuts.com/) 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.

Grayson, D-Fla., is asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to launch an investigation into mycongressmanisnuts.com launched by Langley (a Republican activist) that parodies his own re-election site (http://congressmanwithguts.com/).

Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine, in order to try to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don’t support me,” Grayson writes in his complaint. “[She] has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly tasteless and juvenile.”

Honestly Rep. Grayson. Don’t you have better things to do, like help govern the country?

She has every right to her opinion, just as you do. Just like when you called a female adviser to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a “whore”  or when you call the current health care system a “holocaust in America.” The health care system is broken in this county, no doubt, and it does need reform. But even the coldest insurance executives aren’t leading the insured to death camps. They want to maximize profits.

What we need is national leadership to change the motivation of insurance companies from the current for profit model to one of providing coverage for all Americans.  Let’s hope the reform bill gives us a start on that goal.
