In Which My Grandpa Puts Rep. Allen West In His Place
From the October 8th issue of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: Shaw served district well Citizens of the 22nd Congressional District deserve better than to have a crude loudmouth representing them in Congress. Allen West’s recent outbursts against the president, vice president and another member of Congress — which took place not in his home district, but in Texas — are indicative of his ego-based desire for publicity. This district was represented for a great many years by Clay Shaw, a gentleman who, even though I sometimes disagreed with, always represented the district with honor. Voters in the 22nd should soon tell West to go west. I’m ready for strong coffee — had enough tea.
