Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed

Posted by timothy on from the gov't-we-deserve-is-a-canard dept.

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."

    Democrat is to Republican as:

    C) Pot is to Kettle

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

    Okay, Steele, but I'm not sure he's Republican so much as he is plain nuts. *dives out window to avoid getting served with libel papers*
