Just Received: Official Transcript of Alan Grayson's apology to the dead!

[ddeclue]

"Last night, I gave a speech and I’m not going to recount everything I said but after that speech, several republicans asked me to apologize. I would like to apologize.

I would like to apologize and here's why. according to this study, health insurance and mortality in adults which was published two weeks, 44,000 Americans die every year because they have no health insurance. 44,789 Americans die every year according to the Harvard study. and you can see it by going to our website at grayson.house.gov.

that is 10 times more than the number of Americans who have died in Iraq and who died in 9/11. but that was just once. this is every single year. that's right. every single year.

take a look at this. read it and weep. and I mean that, read it and weep, because of all these Americans who are dying because they don't have health insurance. now, I think we should do something about that and the democratic health care plan does do something about that. It makes health care affordable for those who can't afford insurance and it safes these peoples' lives.

let's remember we should care about people even after they're born. I call upon the democratic members of the house, I call upon the republican members of the house, I call upon all of us to do our jobs for the sake of America, for the sake of those dying people and their families.

I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America. I yield the rest of my time."


I'm so proud to say that I helped get this guy elected and proud to call him a friend.

Please help me keep him in office.

Alan spent 2.5 MILLION dollars of his own money kicking out Republican do-nothing Ric Keller last time around - he can't afford to do that every two years and he needs our help this time. Please help him stay in office so he can keep fighting the good fight.

He's got our back - now let's get his:

4. The truth hurts, it should hurt those who choose to do nothing, aka Republicans.

edited for grammar

Excellent comeback, Congressman Grayson was and is right. An added bonus to this was the Republicans were forced to condemn the ass in their ranks Joe Wilson in trying (it seems to me) unsuccessfully to condemn Congressman Grayson.

5. Pugs try to compare it to Wilson's rudeness. Fairness Doctrine invoked . lol

typo

As Ed Shultz just pointed out, Wilson's outburst was actually against the rules. Grayson's statement? Not so.

6. It is medical criminality.

People complain about South Africa having a high crime rate.

This is a high crime rate as well.
