Alan Grayson appeared on MSNBC’s The Ed Show, where host Ed Schultz asked him if he thought former President George W. Bush deserved more credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden than he has been given, in response to a report that Bush felt he hadn’t been paid his due.

Grayson gave Bush credit for high gas prices and widespread lack of health insurance among other societal ills, calling him “the worst president of my lifetime.” Then he said that former alcoholic Bush “might’ve been passed out drunk for the last three or four days.”

3. Alcoholic Bush

William Butler Yeats is quoted as saying 'The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober'.

5. That can't be true...George doesn't drink. He even said so.

George wouldn't lie would he?

9. It is common for alcoholics to deny that they have that disease.

It's not just a George Bush thing. Plenty of people including some progressives are unfortunately inflicted with the disease of alcoholism. If Bush is an alcoholic I wouldn't hold that against him anymore than I would anyone else. I voted against him twice and I opposed almost all of his policies, but I am not going to criticize him for a disease he might have.

7. I am not a big fan of Grayson

I see him as a posturing jackass, who says controversial things simply for the sake of being controversial and to draw attention to himself. Saying that Bush “might’ve been passed out drunk for the last three or four days” is the same order of personal slime as the "birtherism" crap that right wing nutjobs use. I support Obama, and God knows I can't stand Bush, but for us to engage in the same kind of low class, ad hominem, nauseating slander that our opponents do is not any way to win the debate.

8. Personally, I like him.

He's not afraid to use fighting words. That's more than I can say for most of our elected Dems.

10. Don't worry, Grayson won't make a movement out of it.

12. Grayson is an extremely intelligent guy

I love how he tells it like it is. I wouldn't compare his style to birthers. Rather than spreading preposterous rumors, Grayson speaks his mind and has no problem insulting the real jackasses in the rethug party.
