On Thursday, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) delivered one of the all-time greatest floor speeches ever from the floor of the U.S. House, challenging Republican obstructionists -- and the Democrats who enable them. The great thing about it wasn't that Grayson was saying anything particularly new. It was that finally someone with some power was saying everything that we already know about the GOP and Dems who play ball with them. If you haven't seen it yet, you've got to watch it.

Yesterday on Countdown, Lawrence O'Donnell interviewed Grayson on why he gave the speech and how it has been received. True to form, Grayson was a straight shooter, and managed to rip off a number of good lines, including one on perhaps the most important thing for Dems to remember: you don't beat Republicans by being a Republican.
