  1. It would be nice if we could come up with a way to keep Alan Grayson from getting his hands on guns, knives, tasers, pepper spray, forks, pointed sticks, blunt instruments, and choking hazards, but I can’t imagine a legal regime that could do so without being open to abuse.

  2. Florida Rep. Alan Grayson recently called his estranged wife a “gold digger,” but a review of the potential Senate candidate’s soap-opera divorce case shows he unsuccessfully tried to have her criminally charged for far less: ringing up grocery, gasoline and car-repair expenses on his credit card.

    Grayson’s previously unreported effort to have Lolita Grayson arrested on credit-card fraud charges was revealed in one of her court filings that complained about the wealthy Democrat’s tactics to withhold money from her.
    “The Husband has denied the Wife access to marital assets or funds that could be used to pay for attorney’s fees and costs, even going to the extent of filing a criminal complaint against the Wife for her alleged use of a marital credit card account,” her attorney said in a March 13 motion in which the judge gave her almost half of what she was asking.

    In previous court filings and interviews, Lolita Grayson, who’s now on her sixth lawyer, has depicted Grayson as abusive and so tight-fisted that she and their four minor children had to go on food stamps. She said she couldn’t afford to repair a leaky septic tank and broken windows that allowed mold to fester in the family’s Orlando home. Her situation and the corresponding images of the home’s disrepair aired on local TV in October 2014, just before Grayson — a trial lawyer worth about $31 million — won reelection to a third term in the House.

    Grayson’s attorney, Mark NeJame, disputed Lolita’s claims and pointed out that Grayson had been paying his wife $10,000 monthly, that none of her lawyers ever asked for more and that the congressman has kept up the payments even though two of the four children now live with him.

    “He has been and is continuing to pay her $10,000,” NeJame stressed. “It’s not like he wasn’t paying her anything. He always has. And that’s the majority of his annual congressional salary.”

    Something tells me she’s one of the people he doesn’t want getting a gun.
