Appearing
on CNN Monday Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) continued with his commentary on
the divisive former less than one-term Alaska Governor and losing Republican
vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin following his biting response last week, after Palin campaigned in Grayson's Orlando-area district for candidates who want to run against Grayson in November.
When
CNN Host Rick Sanchez asked Grayson about his labeling of Palin as a dingbat, he
answered, "What I said was that scientists were studying very carefully the
migratory patterns of the wild Alaskan dingbat."
He
reiterated Monday that he would welcome the chance to debate her on the issues,
“as soon as she learns anything about them.”
"I
think that she's an inspiration to quitters all over the country," Grayson
continued. "I think that she's an inspiration to every student in school
who cheats, you know that hand writing businesses that was really
original."
These
were obvious references to Palin cutting and running from the governorship in
the middle of her first term, as well as getting caught peeking at notes scrawled
on her hand during last month's Tea Bagger Party speech.
The
Florida Congressman rejected the idea that she's even a political figure
anymore, calling her a reality show personality instead. He asserted that she just
wants to make money.
Also
Grayson spoke of the Public Option Act he introduced two
weeks ago, also known as the Medicare You Can Buy into Act. He stressed that
individuals must have the opportunity to buy into a public insurance plan.
