Mental derangement is an interesting thing. In movies, books and plays, it can be a hoot. A loon, stalker or killer can be given all sorts of character traits, motives and reasons to go off the deep end and satisfy their deep-rooted urges and impulses. It matters little how logical, coherent or even sane those urges or motives are. What is important is the bait. The hook. The catch. And if the author is crafty enough, he/she can even tap into the dark side of the audience and make them even secretly root for and admire the nutjob. Think Hannibal Lecter.

However, it is a lot less funny when that same derangement and lust for destruction, aimed at either one person and/or an entire political party, comes from someone who shares the powers of the federal purse strings and is also given virtual carte blanche when it comes to the vast resources of the federal government. A person who has easy access to most any media outlet, and knows he has 100% protection from his higher-ups to utter the most outrageous statements, no matter how defamatory, libelous or mentally deranged they are. Which brings us to one, Rep. Alan Grayson, (D-FL).

Normally, a political party, or a sect within that party will have an attack dog. Or two or three. They are there to feed red meat to their base, provoke outrage from their opponents and generally just stir the pot. Sometimes they will make their over-the-top comments to energize a demoralized base or to distract their opponents and the media from what is really going on in the background.

However, in Grayson’s case, we seem to have someone who seems to have a Political Mark of Cain. One whose tone, rhetoric and venom is akin to a rattlesnake being whipped in a dog crate with a 10′ long stick.

From the despicable and mentally unbalanced statements made by Grayson on the House floor about how Republicans want seniors to “die quickly” to his now calling a female Fed advisor a “a K Street whore” we see what can happen when the elixir of the fantasy of unchecked power can have upon not only a leftist Democrat, (who axiomatically would already have delusions of grandeur) but one whose sanity synapses are not firing in their proper order. Frankly, I do not think this man is competent to serve as a public official, or even as a 3rd-string Wendy’s fry cook. He more reminds me of those creepy high school janitors you used to see in those old 50′s shorts and movies, who everyone knew was a loon and a creep, but who the director kept vainly trying to portray as a normal character, just along for the story’s ride.

Grayson’s Latest. (Hat Tip – Red State) (Go here if you want to listen to the whole 11 minute interview.

And the infamous “die quickly” rant:

This speech is Political Projection Perfected. A sterling example of accusing your opponents of what you yourself and your party are guilty of. (e.g. “Culture of Corruption”, “cutting your Medicare”) Of course, with government-run care, or to use the more accurate term I coined many months back, MengeleCare, getting sick, especially if you are elderly or handicapped in some way, is a very probable death sentence. For your illness, your condition, your medicine and your care is literally in the hands of a nameless, faceless, bureaucratic gray blob whose only purpose for existing is to crunch numbers, meet bottom lines and treat every “patient” as a number in a spreadsheet cell. 1984′s Big Brother has nothing on the indifference, inefficiency and ineptitude of a government bureaucracy, which is truly the closest thing to Purgatory on Earth.

While some House Democrats have shown at least a small shred of decorum and have decried Grayon’s outbursts, it would appear that the White House is A-OK with them. At a recent Florida fundraiser, Obama called Grayson, along with Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Kendrick Meek, “outstanding members of Congress.” That pretty sums up where we are today in PoliticalSpeak nowadays. Below Ed Norton’s feet.

I think even Hannibal Lecter would be shocked and disgusted.
