Grayson to Cheney: Time to 'STFU'
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/POLITICS/10/08/alan.grayson/art.grayson.gi.jpg caption="Grayson to Cheney: Time to ‘STFU’"]Washington (CNN) - Outspoken Rep. Alan Grayson has a message for blunt-speaking former Vice President Dick Cheney: stop talking.
Responding to the former VP’s criticism of President Obama’s national security policy, including his decision to try accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civilian court, the Florida Democrat lapsed into Web-speak.
“You know, on the internet there's an acronym that's used to apply to situations like this. It's called ‘STFU,’” Grayson said on MSNBC’s Hardball. “I don't think I can say that on the air, but I think you know what that means.” The letters are an acronym for “shut the f*** up.”
Cheney has been a vocal critic of the president’s policies, telling Fox News earlier this week that the extended decision-making process on Afghanistan “feeds into sort of the basic al Qaeda strategy” by fueling a sense of uncertainty on the future direction of U.S. involvement.

That Alan Grayson is a real classy guy now isn't he? I tell my kids that only unintelligent people need to swear. I guess Grayson proved my point.
Thank You!
Unfortunately, it's about time one of the Dems told these loose lipped Republicans to "STFU'. They are undermining our country with their poorly choosen words and helping our enemies in turn. Very un-American.
Tell Grayson to STFU
8years in office and look where he,GB and the rep party had left us? 8 years that left us hated by the world unsafe and trillions in $ the hole And Now he/they know whats right. they should be so so embarrased. But instead of helping the usa out of the mess they put us in they just want to complain and drag there feet putting the usa deeper and deeper in the hole.
what balls drarth cheney has. is any of his (or anyone in DC) kids on the front lines or even serving in any branch.
Well lets get the story right to begin with. DICK Cheney is calling the President of the United States a traitor saying he has violated the constitution by aiding the enemy. He goes well beyond a policy disagreement. CNN needs to add more facts in their reporting. And DICK Cheney needs to be brought to trial on war criminal charges so he's not one to talk about anyone else. Even if it were true. So yes..Cheney..STFU. Liz you too.
Why doesn't CNN and other look into how much money the Cheney family has made illegally off these wars? Because that would be REAL news reporting not the junk America gets now.
A sorry situation this is what we expect from our representatives these days. If you don't agree, shut up.
What a mess we have made for ourselves.
Bravo Rep. Grayson. I know he is a loose cannon but I can't help but like him...
I agree totally, keep your mouth closed Dick Cheney>
You tell em representitve Grayson! That war criminal is one of the last administrations lackeys we don't need to hear from ever. HE IS A LIAR!
I like Grayson. Cheney is the worst. He has no leg to stand on regarding anything. They left this country in shambles and now he is suppose to be some expert on what is best for this country? He plunged us in to a war with Iraq that costs thousands of lives and was not necessary at all. Then our economy almost collapsed with people making runs on the banks and the government needing to bail out everyone. Gas prices hit the roof with only his constituent oil companies making a killing on us all. But I do disagree with Grayson. Let him keep talking. It just builds a bigger case as to why we can not go back to a Republican ran country and he is a constant reminder of the administration we just left behind.
YOU should STFU! Free country, DA
Now that would be believable had he stated the same to all those democratic retired presidents aka Carter, Clinton who had broken a long standing tradition not to criticize sitting presidents.......where was he telling them to STFU...and here it's only a VP.......once again – teh Dem party – do as I say – not as I do.....
About time this was said!!! I'm glad someone isn't soooo political that they finally came out and said it.
8 years of this guy and look where they left the country. I don't want to hear any more BS....NO ONE CAN DENY that this country was left in shambles by the Cheney/Bush administration. DON"T EVEN TRY TO TWIST THE FACTS.
Haliburton and Big Oil did well though.
I guess some people can't stand hearing the truth. Maybe Grayson is easily swayed by BHO's smooth talking.
let's see if he can back up his talk........like they say in the playgrounds of New York.....want me to shut up-MAKE ME.
Crass . . yet so appropriate.

Right on ! Cheney should STFU !
Old Saying Mr. Cheney, If Your Not Part Of The Solution... You Are Part Of The Problem! 🙂
Typical – another eloquent politician. Democrat or Republican, people need to respect one another. Opposing viewpoints should be shared not slienced. Add this idiot to this list of the others...
Agreed Dick, you left the country in tatters and committed the highest form of treason against the US (outing undercover agent). Crawl back in to your hiding spot and STFU! No one cares what you think or what you say, except Fox sNews...
Thank you Alan. You are truly a breath of fresh air.
No!!! Let Cheney keep talking. It is the perfect reminder of the administration that we left behind. It just hurts the Republicans more.
