I love the word ‘whore.’ It’s a raw, and honest word; a word that has been around for centuries (probably). This Representative Alan Grayson fellow seems to be a raw and honest politician… or maybe I just think that because he called some lobbyist chick – named Linda Robertson – a whore:

Here’s the whole quote, from here:

  • “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

In case you didn’t know, K Street is where a lot of lobbyists have their offices in D.C.  I was a little disappointed by the Republican’s predictable response:

  • “Alan Grayson’s latest comments are disgraceful, inappropriate and disrespectful to women,” RNC Co-Chairman Jan Larimer said, calling on Grayson to issue an apology.

‘Disrespectful to women’? This had nothing to do with women; as great a word as ‘whore’ is, it has a few contextual intricacies; Grayson was just saying Linda Robertson would do anything for money, and probably didn’t mean sex… probably. But I’m glad that when Jan Larimer thinks whore, she thinks women. Calling a lobbyist a whore is kind of insulting to real whores. So on behalf of non-whores, to the whores of the world: I appologize, keep up the good work.
