Grayson to Dick: 'STFU'

TPM:

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) appeared on Hardball this evening, and dispensed some of his signature wit against the Republicans: Telling former Vice President Dick Cheney to "STFU," speculating that gasoline would only cost a dollar per gallon if former President George W. Bush had let Saudi Prince Abdullah "get to second base," and regretting that it's too late to impeach Cheney.

Chris Matthews asked Grayson about Cheney's recent condemnations of President Obama, for giving what Cheney called "aid and comfort to the enemy" -- which is the Constitution's definition of treason -- by putting Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on trial in civilian courts.

Grayson: I don't know. You know, on the Internet there's an acronym that's used to apply to situations like this. It's called "STFU." I don't think I can say that on the air, but I think you know what that means.Matthews: Well, give me the first part.Grayson: "Shut."

Matthews: Oh! I got you. Stop talking, in crude language. Well, I don't think you're gonna get him to do that.
