One of Rep. Alan Grayson’s (D-FL) Republican opponents is seizing on his newly-unearthed comment, in which he called a female lobbyist a “K Street whore.”

Armando Gutierrez, a real estate developer who moved from Miami to Orlando in order to run against Grayson, has a new press release:

The tragedy of this is that the gross recklessness of statements such as this seems to be lost on Grayson.

From accusing Republicans of murder on the scale of Holocaust to labeling an honorable public servant a “whore,” Grayson has once again shown America that he is, to borrow the words of his fellow Democrat, Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York, “one fry short of a happy meal.”

Grayson seems to be giving Republicans no shortage of opposition-research material against him for 2010, and this latest episode is no exception. The full press release is available after the jump.

Alan Grayson Unfit to Serve

Grayson’s remark describing a Fed Official as a “K-Street Whore”

Shows that he is “One Fry Short of a Happy Meal”

Orlando, FL – Most in Florida have known for a long time that Alan Grayson is unfit to represent the people of the 8th Congressional District in Washington. Today it was revealed that Grayson referred to Linda Robertson, an official in the Federal Reserve, as a “K-street whore.” The tragedy of this is that the gross recklessness of statements such as this seems to be lost on Grayson.

From accusing Republicans of murder on the scale of Holocaust to labeling an honorable public servant a “whore,” Grayson has once again shown America that he is, to borrow the words of his fellow Democrat, Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York, “one fry short of a happy meal.”

“The people of the 8th District deserve better than Alan Grayson,” said businessman and congressional candidate Armando Gutierrez. “I am embarrassed that he represents the good people of Central Florida.”

Armando Gutierrez is a common-sense conservative who is not afraid to reach across party-lines to make the lives of the people of the 8th District better. As opposed to Grayson, Armando isn’t as much concerned about getting on MSNBC as he is with making a difference.

“These are serious times for America,” said Gutierrez. “Alan Grayson has shown us once again that he is unfit to lead.”
