Dick Cheney Should "STFU," Says Alan Grayson

Controversial Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, whose claim that the Republican health care play is for people to "die quickly" if they get sick helped launch him to national prominence, said on MSNBC that former vice president Dick Cheney should "STFU."

"You know, on the Internet there's an acronym that's used to apply to situations like this. It's called 'STFU,'" he told Chris Matthews. "I don't think I can say that on the air, but I think you know what that means."

Matthews asked Grayson to "give me the first part," and Grayson said, "shut." STFU is an acronym for "Shut the F*** Up."

Grayson's office posted a video of the lawmaker making the comment to his YouTube page.

Grayson had been asked about Cheney's critical comments on Fox News about President Obama.

Cheney has been a frequent critic of the president, most recently suggesting he is giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" by holding the trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York.

Thank you Alan Grayson! Dick Cheney basically comes out and calls our President a traitor and someone needs to call him out on it, since there's apparently nobody in the media with big enough stones to do it. Grayson calls them as he sees them and Cheney deserved that comment 100%. By the way, I can tell you right now, none of those hacks they are trotting out in the primary to run against him in 2010 have a frog's chance of making it from I-4 to Washington DC. Grayson for Senate!!! (or Governor?)

Thanks CBS NEWS for getting away from the Associated Press Bu!!Sh** and having interesting topics and authors. If you snooze and let AP run the media you lose so keep up the good work so you can benefit by more viewers and more advertisers.

Dick Cheney is our country's pitbull. Unfortunately he is chewing on everybodies leg when he should be out hunting which what he is good at. The cold war is over and with it goes our need for nuclear warheads, pitbulls and Dick's Civil War mentality.

Lets see, FLORIDA: GOP governor, Senate and House, with the 2010 Census (Gerrymandering) season upon us. This guy will be the loudest flash in the pan until his district strings from Pensacola to Naples, and his home will not be in it. Ask Bob Ehrlich how that works. Maybe Grayson will run for Governor..

Dick Cheney Should "****," Says Alan Grayson


The same way that Carter and Clinton did when Bush was President?

I agree with the Congressman. Dick Cheney is doing something that no President or VP has ever done...playing back-seat driver to a sitting President. Past Presidents have sometimes spoken up on a variety of issues, but this guy is almost trying to run a shadow Presidency during wartime. We can only have one President at a time.

He has accused President Obama of giving aid and comfort to the enemy...indirectly accusing him of treason...during wartime. That can't be good for the country.

Dick Cheney is as arrogant as he is wrong-headed. He is the most umpopular politician in the entire country and a lot of people in this country have totally lost any respect for him. I know that I have.

He needs to ****!

Never in my years , (Kos kids need not apply), has a President displayed such childish disrespect for his predecessor.
Here and abroad, with adolecent disdain for the country he represents - the weak-kneed apologies continue; followed by the uncivilized, pompous, and arrogant responses toward "our" policies and "his" responsibilities which have furthered our economic pain.
However - when you have a virtual Banana Republic running the show - promoted with faux confidence from the Libiot media folk - go with what you know.
But lets devalue the genuine pricks right now!
If you want free MOD - just google "watch movies" and it'll provide you a link - Stop paying for Damon.......and who'd really want virtual ******* for free anyhow?
However, Matt Damon fans rejoice. He'll be available in Springfield MA. on the 22nd to autograph Howard Zinn and his Communist memoirs novels - Fiction and fantasy at its best.
BTW: Matt Damon has made it clear - when you meet him .... you must thrust your kneecap into his groin region with all the power you can muster - Matt loves this greeting.
While you're at it - Howard Zinn has a dunking tank which requires no targeting skill. Just approach the tamk (after a good capping to Damon) thrust his head into the target region - watersports and genuine ******* unite...LOL - its like bucking ******* w/crazies - the fun begins.
