OUT OF CONTROL - AT 6:55 P.M. ET:  A Dem congressman should know he's in trouble when he's too much even for Chris Matthews.  The Politico reports on the latest adventures of Alan Grayson of Florida:

Here's Rep. Alan Grayson's money comment on Hardball last night, where the loudmouthed freshman congressman compares former Vice President Dick Cheney to a vampire:

REP. ALAN GRAYSON: “By the way, I have trouble listening to what [Cheney] says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking, but my response is this: he’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?”

MATTHEWS: Oh, God, we got to keep a level here.

Matthews also dubbed Grayson “Captain Cajones” at the end of the congressman’s MSNBC appearance.

Can you imagine the reaction in the mainstream media if a Republican had said something like that?  Yet, there is no condemnation of Grayson, and no apology, or demand for one, on the part of Democrats.

Grayson recently compared America's health system to the Holocaust. 

He is a graduate of Harvard, and went through Harvard in three years.  Must say something about Harvard.
