Grayson: Palin a 'half-baked Alaskan'

Florida Rep. Alan Grayson is hoping to raise money by warning supporters about an enemy even more menacing than “Taliban Dan Webster” — Sarah Palin’s zombie horde.
In a rambling, pop-culture-laden new fundraising appeal out Thursday morning, Grayson slams Palin — whom he derides as a “half-baked Alaskan” and “Her Tweetness” — over her new endorsement of his GOP foe, Daniel Webster, on Palin’s Twitter account.
“What is it about Sarah Palin and Twitter?” Grayson writes. “Is Palin fond of tweeting because she can draft a tweet on her palm? Is it that 140 characters represents the maximum length of Sarah Palin's attention span?”
Grayson also claims that Palin is targeting him “like she was shooting a moose from a helicopter,” and manages to work in references to William Shatner and Conan O’Brien.
Grayson’s appeal is the latest in a string of provocative campaign pleas targeting Webster, his GOP opponent, as well as national Republicans. The freshman Democrat targets everyone from Palin to Fox News to former Vice President Dick Cheney on his campaign website.
Palin announced her support for Webster on her Twitter page late Wednesday, and excoriated Grayson for his controversial ad depicting Webster as anti-women and calling him “Taliban Dan Webster.” The ad has been widely criticized for its use of deceptive editing, making Webster appear to suggest wives should submit to their husbands.
“FL's Daniel Webster — keep moving forward w/positive,strong,sharp message of truth! (As opposed to opponent who disgraced himself w/that ad),” wrote Palin.
Palin went after Grayson again Thursday morning, writing on Twitter that, “Grayson's twisted campaign ad adds to "media distrust" problem; he blatantly lies in vile rant, but greedy media run it anyway w/no fact check,” and that “Florida deserves the best! No need 2 settle 4 such an odd, troubled character 2 represent your beautiful state. Take pride in Daniel Webster.”
Grayson fired back in his e-mail missive, writing that, “unlike Sarah Palin, I have a head and a heart. Because unlike Sarah Palin, I believe that I am my brother's keeper. And unlike Sarah Palin, I believe in the 3000-year-old imperative of every just society — to shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, and heal the sick.”
Webster campaign manager Brian Graham called Grayson’s appeal “immature,” but declined to comment further.
Grayson has raised a mammoth $3.7 million so far this cycle, while Webster has taken in over $313,000.
