Pour Some Four Loko Out (If It's Still Legal In Your State) For Alan Grayson

I know I already gave a sort of epithet for soon-to-be-out-of-office Rep. Grayson but I have to add this clip from tonight's installment of The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell (absent O'Donnell himself for some reason), in which Grayson drops an unthinkable expletive for an American politician: CLASS WARFARE!!!!!!! He drops the CW bomb while talking about the Bush tax cuts for the super-rich that the Republicans in Congress are obstinately for in spite of the fact that the only way that they can justify it is in terms of "trickle-down economics," which is, of course, a theory almost universally panned by economists, with decades of history and a collapsed world economy to discredit it empirically. The whole segment is pretty good (particularly the bit in which the other Congressman on for the segment cites the hypocrisy of an incoming Republican Congressman who ran on the repeal of healthcare who is petitioning to have HIS GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE kick in now, instead of when he is sworn in), but if you want to skip to the part I'm talking about it starts right after the 7:30 mark.
