>>>....well, let’s call it the unique personality of Alan Grayson.<<< Good catch there. With regrets, I somehow don't doubt the truth of that story, especially since Taibbi and Grayson have close to the same agenda WRT the banks, etc. One might balance Grayson by pointing to Rahm Emmanuel. Who knows the extent of that man's self restraint or embrace of Machiavellianism. Of course two wrongs don't make a right. The suggestions of the end of the American Empire are rampant in the press. Some suggest that at the end of the halcyon years, every "Pax Romana" throughout recorded history descends into fascism. Things were a mess in Germany, but the Third Reich provided order which the people highly desired. I doubt that Obama can even make the trains run on time. He certainly can't make the banks march to the tune. And neither could his predecessor.

Just balance matters out George Washington had explosion like that, his temper was expressed in volcanic eruption of horrific curses and damnations. Jefferson wrote that when it happened one just stepped back and remained silent until the rage was over---could last 15 minutes. Jefferson refered to them as being like seizures. Washington fought a battle with these ferocious verbal explosion his entire life--that is a battle, that is, to control them from happening, but they remained with him to some degree all his life but they did drop over time in occurence. Point being, George Washington was totally rational man. Carl Gustav Jung had also an explosive temper of verbal explosions of curses and damnations. How many times do we hear that a serial killer or such heinous person, spoken of "but he was such a quiet and polite gentlemen". Jeffrey Dahmer in interviews was nothing but sweetness and seemingly so utterly safe. i have NO opinion of Grayson because i know nothing of him---but what Taibbi describes would have NO effect of my overall judgement of the man--a man with an explosive temper can be also brilliant and utterly rational.In My HUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE Opinion, only ,of course(VBG:)Max i myself have fought a lifetime with an explosive verbal temper----my formative years being in South Philly like environs it was indeed something that was handy----Max In the streets of NYC, it was a neccessity(LOL!) If in NYC and two people are having a shout out, what does one do--nothing---it's like part of sounds of Manhattan:)
