The highlights:
In an after hours speech on the house floor, Grayson presented the Republican health care plan.

“It’s a very simple plan,” Mr. Grayson said in an after-hours speech on the House floor Tuesday, unveiling a poster next to him that read in red and black capital letters, “The Republican health care plan: Don’t get sick.”

“But I think that the Republicans understand that’s not always going to work,” he added. “If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly.”

....

Less than two hours later, Mr. Grayson offered an apology of sorts. His remorse was not for Republicans, rather for the dead, he said, comparing the existing health care system to the Holocaust.

“I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America,” he said on the House floor Wednesday afternoon.




Well, I am glad to see that it is no longer just the Republicans who are resorting to scare tactics and rhetoric. Now we can really work fixing things.

I have to say though... for a freshman Rep to pull this on the house floor, this guy must have some big brass ones.
