Why the hell is Alan Grayson going after his wife for bigamy?

234. There is a minute missing from that video, and there's an encounter in the house not seen.

Also, there's no real audio.

We don't know if he goaded or provoked her to get that reaction. I have to say, having your aide hide behind a tree filming in the hopes of getting a "gotcha" moment is a bit OTT. A smarter plan, to avoid any hate or discontent, would have been to hire an off-duty sheriff to accompany him, instead of having a government employee--his aide--involved in his personal dramas. That seems to me to be a bit of misuse of a public employee--and a guy worth tens of millions can afford to hire an off duty cop--they run about sixty bucks an hour, a bit more or less, depending on the state.

The wife, good, bad or indifferent, was his partner for nearly a quarter century. She kept his house, she had five kids with him, and she was their primary caregiver. There are no winners here, but his being so cheap that she qualifies for food stamps tells me that he is being vindictive. There's no need to be that way.

He has more money than a normal person could spend. He doesn't have to be such a jerk. Cut a deal and move on--don't drag the mother of your children through the mud. Take the high road.
