Fla. Democrat calls Fed adviser "K Street whore"
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Florida Democrat who said Republicans want sick people to "die quickly" is again facing criticism for his rhetoric—this time for calling a senior Federal Reserve adviser a "K Street whore" in a radio interview.
Rep. Alan Grayson hurled the insult at Linda Robertson last month on the Alex Jones Show, a syndicated talk radio program, while discussing the Fed's resistance to stronger congressional oversight...
Washington's K Street is where many lobbyists, trade associations and law firms have their offices.
Grayson took exception to Robertson's role, saying she has criticized congressional efforts to increase oversight. "Here I am the only member of Congress who actually worked as an economist, and this lobbyist, this K Street whore, is trying to teach me about economics," he said.
Grayson never identified Robertson by name, saying he couldn't remember her name, but he made clear whom he was referring to from her background and job.
Why am I laughing?
Read about pimps and prostitution and maybe J Street.
